My nose is sunburnt and the cats are plentiful...

The word seems to be out on Chester Street that the renter of Entwhistle Cottage is a certifiable crazy cat lady as I have had a variety of visitors. Little curious faces looking in at me from the patio or the fence.



Today's featured neighbourhood feline is a pretty little orange girl who I like to call Feisty Meisty. She seems hellbent on proving that just because your mom dresses you up in a sweet pink collar doesn't mean a thing.


Last night I watched a very funny Australian movie called "The Castle". Great deadpan humour about a family whose house is being usurped by the local council. Includes humourous reference to Yvonne Goolagong.

After the movie I was further rewarded with an episode of Prime Suspect that I have never seen. Jane Tennison's police career and life is about to combust. Helen Mirren is fantastic.

Today the clouds rolled in and quite a cool breeze was blowing. Good for walking though. Found a butcher this morning to select my Christmas bbq meat and decided on a lovely small Porterhouse steak. Will grill that up tomorrow with green beans.

This afternoon I walked around the city some more and went to the Botanic Gardens. So lovely to see everything blooming. Never seen some many different kinds of dahlias in my life.

Today's featured public sculpture is from a pond in the Botanic Gardens.


And now here are some photos of the cottage to close out today's post. I will head back there now to make some dinner (fresh pasta with pesto sauce) and to settle on to the couch for some reading or some telly watching. I believe there is a Jamie Oliver xmas special to entertain me.
