The cat's miaow

Bruno and Floki

When I first bought this house last November I purchased online a small cat tower as back then we only had Mr Cat and Bruno. Now that we also have Tiger and Floki we also have 2 more cat towers making 3 altogether. Sometimes Bruno and Floki will squeeze onto the same bed and groom each other, Mr Cat has her own bed on the floor and Tiger has taken up the lowest one.


We have expanded on the vege garden outside. Now we have 2 red chilli plants, various mini Spinach (bright lights) rainbow chard, some calendula flowers and tea tree (manuka) growing in amongst them and the tomatoes in order to attract bees.



And I finally finished this wool crochet blanket that I posted to my niece last week, it's big enough to fit a single sized bed, from what I hear she loved it. My next project involves me making green granny squares to eventually sew together.

Nice blanket, my wife has made a few through the years and they are nice and toasty. The cats look nice and comfortable. Good luck with your garden

Chard is becoming very popular in the UK amongst gardeners although I've never yet grown any or eaten any. I should remedy that.

Good work on the blanket. It looks great. I like making granny squares. Small squares which pile up. It's sewing them together that bores me

Well MEOW Amy! I´m a cat person, I love them. Give ém a good belly rub from me.

6C? That´s not too warm for sure. And a tornado sounds so not good. Stay safe and warm!
You have been beyond busy Amy! Our friend has two cats and a cat tower like that -- they always seem to be on one perch! Beautiful craftwork projects.

Love your crochet project. I'm working on a blanket at the moment but am losing enthusiasm so it might have to be a cot blanket.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
