What I have done and what I have yet to do

[ailbhe]

Well, another lot of flea-treatment has been done, and I brought the duvet to the laundrette, who washed it, and I found out about their bridal dress services, and I read High Fidelity, which surprised me, and Room at the Top, and started Here comes Thursday!. I bought a foot file to deal with the callouses on my heels and started sorting out crash space for the myriad afpers who are coming to this meet. I made four necklaces, none of which are particularly dreadful, even if ordering beads online meant that the colours aren't quite what I expected. I listened to the radio. I ate some of the bread I baked yesterday in ourr new breadmaker - it didn't rise properly, so it was a bit heavy, and it's a bit dull (I think I need to put something in it; plain wholemeal is bland as all get out, so the wholegrain we buy from the shop is nicer) but it was ok. It was either the lack of a vitamin C tablet or the old yeast.

I was woken at 06:30 by a new, itchy fleabite. 3 cats + summer = itch. For some reason, they hardly nibble on Rob, and they leap on me with fangs akimbo whenever they think I'm not looking or can't reach.

Bah.

Yet to do...

• Wash up
• Clear kitchen
• Clear dining table
• Clear spare bedroom so that it can be my office again
• Persuade Rob to go to Wickes and buy the wood for the TV cabinet he promised me - I wanted a shelf, which I could have done myself, but he said he'd do a TV cabinet. Meanwhile the clutter is driving me crazy and I can't do anything about it (in the library. The library is all stacked up now and only more shelving will help).
• Bake white bread for Rob.
• Study some. At least, work out what I should feel guilty for failing to study.

Re: Cats and hot weather

[ailbhe]

The weird thing is that combing shows that our cats only have 1 or 2 fleas each. Also, they've been outdoors since the hot weather started, hardly coming in at all and then only to eat (and Dust comes to help Rob work a bit). I think we had a low-level of fleas which preferred cats to human, then the cats vanished and they responded to starvation by breeding.
