How does she do that?

Cleo doing what she does best this evening, basking in front of the gas fire in the dining room. The thumbnail contains four paws and a tail... I think!
Sunday today and the second candle in the Advent crown was lit. It was my busy day today, serving, don't the prayers and taking the chalice at communion. I like to be busy at times and at others it's nice just to be.

We had a quiet day today. Colin watched the football and I tidied a couple of drawers. I came across some olivewood dishes I'd put away, I thought maybe I'd start to use them. I soon changed my mind though. I don't know what they'd been treated with but Cleo was completely hooked on them licking them and rolling over them, it was worse than catnip. I took them away, gave them a (very) good wash and they're off to the charity shop. Shame really as they are very nice, but I do wonder what it was.
Did a me of organisational things this evening then decided I'd go for an early night. Failed! It's 11.30pm already.
Good night all, have a good week.
