#Caturday: Just Scribbling

It’s getting stormy outside, Autumn is definitely here so Husb and I and cwtched inside the house with the cats. I had a quick scribble when Sparta Puss sat next to me. She was looking a bit cross, but that’s not unusual for her!

The Final Cwtch

Another unseasonable warm and bright day, but glorious weather to say goodbye to artist Ann Jordan’s ‘Cwtch’, a giant woollen blanket and environmental installation. You can read more about this extraordinary piece here. It is in it’s final resting place, a circle of eroded peat bog up on the Black Mountain in the Brecon BeaconsContinue reading “The Final Cwtch”

Cwtch And Pajamas

It’s cold, it’s been a long week and I’m cwtched in my pajamas on my comfy chair with Sparta Puss at my feet. I’m not going anywhere so I did a scribble of the cat. She’s looking like a bit of a bruiser at the moment, with her thick winter coat and winter weight gain.Continue reading “Cwtch And Pajamas”

Puddings Together

It’s been horrible weather today. Winter has finally arrived; cold, wet, blowing a gale. Just the weather for making a steamed Golden Syrup sponge pudding with lashings of custard. It’s a pretty good survival strategy for a British November. Settled down for a bit of TV after the pud and the kittehs, Ming The MercilessContinue reading “Puddings Together”

More Lazy Scribbles

Lazing in bed this morning, before going out into the annual sales to buy next year’s birthday and Xmas presents (as I do because I’m an obsessive nutcase) I grabbed the Tablet and had a lazy scribble as Sparta Puss cwtched on the end of the bed. I don’t like it as much as conventionalContinue reading “More Lazy Scribbles”

Cwtch And Smurfs

I went to a consultation event this evening about Swansea’s bid to be the UK City of Culture in 2017. There were some performances at the beginning and then we split up into groups to discuss various aspects of the bid. It’s very exciting and will be a huge deal if it comes here. IContinue reading “Cwtch And Smurfs”

Scruffy Kitteh

It’s very cold this evening with a sharp easterly wind so Husb and I are cwtched at home in front of the telly with cats on laps. I’ve been colonised by little Ming the Merciless, who is easily one of the scruffiest cats ever born. She draws blood when we try to brush her soContinue reading “Scruffy Kitteh”

Scribbling Sparta

Haven’t done a scribble of Sparta Puss for a while, mainly because she’s so consistently naughty that we spend most of our time with her chasing the mice / rats / birds she brings in to rescue them and get them out of the house! But this evening she was in a very sweet moodContinue reading “Scribbling Sparta”

Central Heating Broke! But The Cats Are Alright!

Disaster. Central heating malfunction. In the middle of winter. At the weekend. Freezing cold, pouring with rain. Had to go out to buy food, got soaked, couldn’t dry anything when we came home. We’ve battened down the hatches, drawn the heavy curtains, huddled in one room with an electric heater and filled some antique stonewareContinue reading “Central Heating Broke! But The Cats Are Alright!”
