Hilarion's death and "fugue of the Wilis


This is worth seeing 
Not the Japanese Ballet but a wonderful interpretation

The cottage was valued today, so it looks neat a tidy.
The assessor told me it was the most cosy and sweet cottage she had valued since she last saw in back in 2018 when it was up for sale before the divorce
“ How are you?” She asked me without any edge and the question caught me totally unawares

I almost teared up but didn’t and she was gracious enough not to notice ,
but merely said 
“There’s a lot of love put into this home”
I smiled 
And as she assessed upstairs the postman arrive with flowers from blog reader Kath
A lovely kindness

The assessor walked down the stairs and said
“ lovely new bathroom , I like it”
I preened
And suddenly 
Weaver stalked past us with a dead shrew in her mouth

  1. Of course she did. That is just as likely to have happen as one of the cats upchucking on the carpet in front of her feet. Don't you just love them?

  2. Would getting a room mate help with the mortgage payments. Perhaps a student, an age group I think would benefit from your company.

  3. Mesmerising video.
    Having the cottage valued? I hope you don't have to sell up 😔

  4. Just letting you know she's about and keeping the rodent population in check! I hope the valuation is just for your information and nothing more sinister. xx

    I am of the firm belief that we owe a blogger, whose writing gives us pleasure daily, at least the price of a book. I know you’ve said no before but please if it comes to losing your home let us do a go fund me. It won’t be charity, it will be money fairly owed. You’re in my thoughts x Jane

    1. I agree! I'd be so happy to contribute, this blog has been a daily ''friend'' through so many bad times/ good times for me. If we all just send something.

    Oh Weaver lol - at least she didn't let a live one loose. Such timing. Hopefully the assessor is a cat person.

  9. Our family home went on the market. Potential buyer pulled into our driveway and we’re laughing hysterically. Perky, our wire fox terrier was to the right of the driveway furiously digging and trying to bury one of Mom’s pancakes.

  10. Cats have such a razor-sharp sense of timing . . .
    I hope something turns up and you can stay there, John.

  12. I have one like that. Always bring us little gifts, but running with them instead.

  13. "Hilarion's death" -- was that the name of the shrew? If not, it should have been.

  14. You almost got through the assessment without any comic relief and then....a dead shew being carried, nonchalantly no doubt.
