Why is it ...

My house looks so much nicer after I have moved out?

I had to put carpet on the stairs (and in one of the upstairs bedrooms) because tenants need carpet apparently.

Anyway I loved going up the carpeted stairs it was like walking on air. 

Wish I had had it done when I lived there!  Not forgetting having the hallway / landing etc stripped of the horrid wood chip, skimmed and painted.

I want to move back.

That's a lie

Hoping to spend a couple of days back on the boat now the house is sorted.

How to ...

Lower the tone of your ex neighbourhood

And leave for nearly a week.

Falling in

As you may be aware the cat fell in on Wednesday

She did the same the following morning.

Later that same day I was sat working away and as it was cold the fire was on and the portholes closed.  Cat was in and out through the back doors.

She went out through the back doors and then tried to come back in by launching herself at the porthole.  First I knew of it a furry face appeared briefly in the porthole next to me and then disappeared downwards followed by a splash and a quick exit.

I dried her off with a tea towel on the towpath.  Her head was only dry bit about her.

She has so far not fallen in again.

If she was going for exponential she would have had to fall in 4 times the next day.

Indian Summer - long may it continue

Wasn't this afternoon glorious?

All dry again !

Spot the difference

No you are right there is no difference

Evidence strongly suggest

that the cat has fallen in ...


Evidence

wet tail
wet back legs
very damp fur sticking out at funny angles
one dry head


I missed the action - what a shame
