The Makeover...

VT decided this morning he was going to do the sofas in the middle room. We have two of them from Kirkdale Ltd., and they have had burgundy/wine coloured covers. We also have two in the front room which currently have green covers on those. Anyway, we got a refund from the electric company we were with because we had overpaid, and we used that to get replacement covers for the middle room ones which get more wear. To be honest, the ones in the front room are hardly sat on at all, but the middle room ones are used all the time of course.
So he stripped off all of the covers and replaced them.They look terrific actually, make the room look completely different, and lighten it up a lot. I said we are going to have to be careful with the cats, then as soon as he put the cushions back on my sofa, little Rusty jumped up and settled down. I went into the kitchen and came back with a tea towel and VT lifted her up and settled her down again on that. Poor little thing, I suppose it was a nice new surface for her to explore.
Jane rang up just now, and said that Rachel was off sick as well. She has come down with a chest infection, so they are both miserable on the sofas together. Jane was playing some game on her playstation though and sounded OK.
Funny thing today, I keep thinking it is Thursday all day today. You get days like that sometimes, I think it was because we had pasta last night and we normally have that on a Wednesday night as a change.
Next doors are going away for a few days to London tonight, and have asked VT to feed their cat. This is ginger girl, and he is really fond of this cat. If he goes down to the post box to post letters at night, it comes out of its hiding place and follows him tugging at his pants. If it hears our car drive up, it comes out to greet us, and waits in our path for her biscuits. Our two quite like her too, and if she is in the back, they tend to leave her alone. The one they don't like is ginger "Bollocks" from next door the other side. Neither of our two like that one and will hiss and spit if that one comes near. Funny thing cats..they all have such dofferent personalitits.Like people I suppose.
Tonight we are having:
Garlic Kievs
Sliced and sauteed new potatoes
Sweetcorn for VT and green beans for moi.
Bread sauce.Maybe.
