The next best thing.

Jae is doing a photography A level at school this year, and this morning he asked me for pencils that will write on the black paper in the display folder he has, as he needs them for school today. I do have a vast array of stationery, but these seem like quite a specialised item, and much to his distress, I don't own such a thing!

I have work tonight so had not planned on another trip into town, but made a quick one just to get these pencils. Now all we need to get him is a DSLR camera better than either of ours?! Maybe we will be able vicariously learn from his course though!

Half way into town I realised I'd forgotten my camera! When I worked at the old shop it wouldn't have mattered as nine times out of ten I'd see something to Blip on my way to work, but if living a five minute walk from work has a disadvantage is that it seriously cuts down Blip opportunities!

Anyway I came back into the house to find Minstrel fast asleep on my jumper which he'd pulled into the sunlight on the table! He has grown quite a bit already in the three weeks we've had him. It feels like longer than three weeks, it feels like he's always been here! He loves to sit snuggled up on my lap or actually in my arms. He is on my shoulder like a parrot as I type! I guess while I was out, my jumper was the next best thing! Fortunately it won't show cat-hair!
