The Loveless Marriage
Dec. 13th, 2015 02:51 pm1. As mentioned yesterday, we now have a cat run. I say run, but it's more of a room, as they've put mesh around the patio and part of the garden. Black mesh, so it can't be seen. Which doesn't sound right, but it's true. So Alistair has a shady area and a sunny area and a little bit of garden to play in.
2. Of course, as I write, he is sleeping on the sofa, where he has spent the whole day, not even thinking about going out. Dreadful cat.
3. He was funny the first evening. I opened the cat window, which he worked out very quickly. He investigated outside, then he came in and sat on my knee and kneaded my belly, then he went out for a bit, then he came back in and kneaded my belly, then he went out, and so on. Five or six times, out to explore, in to knead. He only settled down once I shut the window. Over-stimulated.
( SEXY REVENGE )
10. And now for the audience participation segment. It is time for my office's Kris Kringle. My recipient is Merryn, education program developer, 45, PhD in sociology, wearer of drapey scarves, wife of an artist, mother of a 3yo called Violet. I have given the matter careful thought and have come up with variations on two options.
- Option 1, variation 1: This tasteful owl snow globe.
- Option 1, variation 2: The rabbit version.
- Option 2, variation 1: A box of all the fun stationery that can be bought for $15, which is quite a lot as it turns out (e.g. a $3 mini-clipboard in bright colours, a $1 novelty pen, a $2 Penguin Little Black Classic mini-book, etc.)
- Option 2, variation 2: A selection of the Penguin mini-books.
