Sunday Café – 4/2/2018 – Sweater Day

Tks PG for another KJ-type day!!!!!

I LOVE sweaters!!!!!

The one that Basement Cat is sporting could be worn by moi! Yarn gleaned from Southern Hem sheep is awesome!

Right now I’m working on a warm hat. But then it’s back to sweaters … and more sweaters. And I still keep thermostat turned way up!

Sweaters, I had to put one on this morning, we had a nippy night(I had to haul the sheet over me)and an even nippier morning – barely 15C. Thankfully the sun came out mid morning and things heated up then.
Great pics especially that kitty in the daisy sweater. Here we call a sweater a jersey or pullover. As for the Kiwi/Aussie sheep in February, the adult would be shorn but the scenery looks like NZ.
AV, hope you had a great time at your young friends surprise party. 😉 😉
PM, love your description of the ball of wool all over the house.

PM, I had forgotten jumper, that was another one that was used when I was a child.
LOL
What do you get when you cross a kangaroo with a house mouse?
Enormous holes in your skirting boards.
Both those joke ere from my school days.
Going on for midnight now and I am headed for bed. I managed to catnap HRH Shadz a short time ago and she is already upstairs in bed and no doubt sprawled out wide so I have to sleep awkwardly.

Hi all – that sweater-wearing Black Cat looks like Comet! Comet doesn’t harvest souls though…

Happy Sweater Day! Pretty sweater, KJ. I’ve been going through mine, keeping only what really works for me. Have to keep the pink one Mom made many years ago as well as the one with my high school band logo. Go Panthers!

I still have baby Leela’s ball of pink yarn. She was the epitome of kitten vs. ball of yarn. Then again, she was a purrfect kitten. Comet eats yarn though, so it’s kept out of reach now.

It’s been lightly snowing all day but has now changed to freezing rain. I’ve got five cats lounging around the house and two more in shelters outside. I haz a happy!

Good afternoon all, very quiet here I thought and then I realised that it’s superbowl day.
KJ, interesting, we’d call that sleeveles dress to wear over a Tshirt a tunic. 😕 Great looking sweater, I love the colour.
JJ, you have a real cat house going on there now and who can blame them for being inside with snow and freezing rain.
KZ, you had me almost choking on my lunch with the ‘blackmail him at some point’. I used to say something similar to the girls about some of the pics we took like Airy asleep face first in her mashed potato. 😆 😆 Not quite sure how successful it would be with a cat and what the currency would be, cat treats maybe. Yikes now interrupting the signal on Superbowl Sunday ! ! Tragedy. I heard that it could be -14 degrees at kick off but they didn’t elaborate which scale that was, C or F. Either way the brass monkeys would be crying.
I’ve had an interesting morning getting txts from KK who was picking up mu daughter Meegz from a nearby town. Trouble was the road was closed after a traffic accident so she pulled into small town to await road opening. Next txt said her car battery was flat and assistance was an hour away. Then public restroom had no loo paper but cleaner appeared at the perfect time with some. Then car assistance can’t get there because they are on the other side of the road block. DOH ! New assistance person arrives from town she is in and changes battery. Road opens briefly and she is on her way. Meantime Meegz was in strange town with luggage to lug about making the best that she could of it. KK txts that road closing in four minutes for 3 hours while crane clears away truck removed from road and she’s probably not going to get through. Yay, txt to say she got through but now they are stuck for hours with only shopping to do. 😯 😀 It really was a comedy of errors getting these txts from them both as things went well and then turned to custard. Talk about entertaining this end. They will laugh about it one day.
I spent the morning hanging streamers on my fig tree to scare the birds away from my precious fruit. The morning was HOT and humid but now we have a thunder storm and rain warning in effect. HRH will be angry if it rains again as her ‘nest’ in dry grass outside has finally dried off from the last deluge and she was quite lost when she couldn’t sleep in it the last few days.

Wow KJ, those knitting needles must have almost been smoking with the speed. The hat looks great and warm.
Oh no, poor glute, I have been dealing with the same thing recently but after about 4 weeks it has healed and no more pain. I found the arnica really helped at night.

Glad that your team won PG! Definitely merits a drink! 😉

MS, tks for reminding me of the efficacious arnica. I plan to slather on a goodly amount once I settle in for the night.
