Tephie's Personal Bombshelter MarkII

And I've slept so I can post. :)

The cats got FAT while I was gone. I know they tend to overeat when I'm gone but, wow, they are pudgy. :D They'll lose it in short order if the pattern holds. I think they boredom eat (or maybe comfort eat) when I'm not around.

I'll be writing up a knitted hat pattern soon and I think I'll put it up for sale. I need to set a price though, I suck at that. Time to research what knitted hat patterns tend to sell for.

By the way, anyone on my friends list have a noggin that measures 20" around? I've test knit the 22 and 24" sizes but I don't have a convenient 20" skull to try the small size on. I'll post a photo of some of the hats I knit later and if you have a 20" head and think you'd wear one we can talk. :)

More knitting related updates to come later.

Now to get to the unpacking and assorted post-trip chores.

Patches, the cat that likes coffee, also likes beer. We've been aware that she's intrigued by it for some time, we found her sniffing the necks of empty bottles and giving them a lick or two, but tonight I have proof it's not just a casual "oh, this smells different" thing.

I was finishing off my beer and Patches strolled over and sat down next to the bottle.

*sniff*

She looked at the bottle.

*sniffsniff* Her nose was practically on the bottle.

So I swiped the bottle and finished it off then set the bottle back down.

*SNIFF!*

Her tongue was on the lip of the bottle and then as far into the bottle as she could reach.

The bottle has a very well polished lip now, inside and out.

Good thing I don't drink from a pint glass, it would probably have cat fur in it.
