Distracted by Cat Toys
I’ve had my attention diverted by cat toys. And string. Why on earth would cat toys be of interest to me when I don’t have a cat.

The green cashmere delight is done. Against the background of the most dull DIY project possible …painting the hall stairs, landing, coat cupboard and airing cupboard plain white instead of a horrid dirty, dark cream which was probably painted on 20 years ago… …With hands so rough from 2 days sanding down paintwork that I […]
