[m i a o w] the cat

M is standing on my right, seranading me with the acoustic guitar - a running commentary about how it’s too hot to build kitchens, his fat pet magpies, dry grass… He is right (occasionally it happens). It is TOO HOT. And it’s only about 33 or 34 degrees, but the humidity is sucking my soul dry. Slurp. I was feeling v.bad for the cats, because here I am sitting in barely anything, and they are clad in their little furry coats. I went to investigate - they are both passed out in the shade of their cat home:

Yesterday I suggested that all my friends on our mailing list should take a picture of where they were at 1pm on Christmas Day. I got M’s mother to take one of me right on the dot of one o’clock. Dyl is going to put them up in his web gallery and then I’ll post a link.

This is what a mango-sock looks like:

(I didn’t sew all those mango-socks - I loathe mangos. M did. Hee hee.)
