Oddly I don’t seem to have mentioned in the same freecycling weekend that I found atomic planter #2 and retro mirror, that I also found another chair. Yes, another Parker era chair in need of restoration and TLC. The varnish and wood was water damaged (stained but not warped) and it needed new cushions and [...]

Thing #3: Don’t stand down wind when watering with charlie carp and/or seasol
Posted in The things they don't tell you about home ownership, tagged her majesty, random, sir pouncealot on August 11, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Another thing they don’t tell you about home ownership is not to stand down wind should you decide to treat your garden to a dose of seasol or charlie carp fertiliser. For the uninitiated, seasol and charlie carp are highly concentrated kelp and fish liquid fertilisers that one dilutes into a container which you then [...]

I’ve been playing with a tilt-shift iPhone app at work…and at home: Expect more, is all I am sayin’

Behind this adorable little face lurks the brain and the body of a stone cold rat killa: This summer – 3 rats and counting. I saw one climbing my neighbour’s wall…its days are numbered. It’s not a good idea to make fun of her fascinator, she knows where you sleep:
Seasons Greeting

My overlords have reminded me that they would like to pass on their seasonal and festive greetings in a manner befitting their regal station. Their message to all and sundry is as follows: May your clothes always be accessorised with the fur of a cat(s) who loves you, May your toes never find the pile [...]

Despite her Majesty’s best efforts to suppress my future rhubarb plantation using a similar approach to her suppression of my future nasturtium plantation, four remaining plants (of the 8 initially planted) have so far survived. I planted the rhubarb out the back near the compost bin as all reputable gardening experts (i.e. my 3 gardening [...]

It’s what all the cool parisienne cats are wearing this fall: The “you are being a complete dickhead” expression is an optional extra. This photo was taken by the coffee fairy – who may be getting a name change to “miss catarazzi” after her recent exploits.
Cold war kitties

Ah those dreams of a tranquil polyfelineous household, they seem so far away now. Instead I have the feline equivalent of the Cold War. We all know cats are evil (in the best way), so this cold war is probably even frostier than the original. The Red Menace… Never looked so cute, but that is [...]

Well it has officially been 7 days since I amalgamated the lady and the tramp into the household. In my optimism, I envisaged that this process would be a little like something out of Big Love: There would be cheesy music, we’d all put on ice skates and skate around the floorboards and we wouldn’t [...]
