desperanceTwo cats, one sunshine:
Five minutes later, the next time I happened by, there was just one cat. So it goes, in this house.
On the other hand, some things you do just know will end well:
This is my workstation for the afternoon. It would be a better thing if the smoke only came out of the chimney, rather than leaking through every seam, but hey. So long as there's smoke. Nil Combustibus Pro Fumo, as we say in my generation. Inside there, as well as the necessary fire, is a big hunk of pork shoulder, slathered with a mix of ketchup and apple cider vinegar and salt and pepper and fennel and cayenne. It's going to smoke slowly until evening, when it will be juicily cooked and aromatic and tasty. There may be other things grilled alongside. There will certainly be sesame seed buns, for those are rising in the kitchen as we speak. I had thoughts of making a plum frangipane tart for afters, but that might remain no more than a thought. It's often the way with desserts. It is a lovely thought - and that's what counts, right? Right...?
In other news, I would quite like to know why the Shotwell photo manager has suddenly stopped organising my pix by date, or apparently at all. We'll always have Flickr, but nevertheless...
