My most exciting news from the past week is that I have a new house-mate - a black cat called Leonard. He was abandoned by his owners and lived as a stray for a while before ending up at Battersea Cat Rescue, which is where I met him. He's a really soppy boy, who loves his food and being fussed. Having him in the house really makes it feel like a home.
He's getting quite comfortable, and loves sitting next to me on the sofa, curling up on a dining chair next to me as I work, or getting comfy on the armchair. I don't have the heart to discourage him, but of course the downside is the hair he leaves behind! So I'm covering everything in old towels and blankets. Which reminded me...At the end of last year I started knitting small squares to practice different knitting patterns. The arrival of Leonard has prompted me to get out my knitting needles again - my plan is to make lots of patterned squares which I can then join together to make a blanket for Leonard to curl up on and which will hopefully protect my furniture! However, there is a flaw in my plan - well, have you ever tried knitting with an inquisitive cat nearby?
I'll keep you updated on progress...
