New paintings and regular art updates.
Then he decides to pose, to shade his eyes with his paw. To look cute, so sweet. Staying still so I can get photos of him. And no claws or biting, just wanting comfort and friendship. Warmth, snuggling, happy.
I know not everyone loves cats. They are seen as aloof and stand-offish. But when they trust you. They can be truly loving.

Evidence of a BIG mouse.
So in these self isolating, lockdown times. My hubby decided to open the ‘Christmas cake in a ring pull tin’.
It was there as a treat for some time in the future. But as things are, OK why not? I’m not allowed to eat much sweet stuff but I thought I could have a small sample.
Anyway, after ten minutes of trying to open the tin, he got the can opener on it as the ring pull didn’t ‘pull’. He managed to cut round the base (thats where the ring pull is).
Another struggle, there was a thin strip of metal sticking up. So I got the key off a can of corned beef, and after much fiddling got the cover off the cake. Then I put a plate on top and tipped the tin over to release the cake.
There it was, surrounded by nice white, pleated, grease proof paper.
Hubby got a knife and cut himself a quarter. Then, he started picking loose bits of fruit off the rest of the cake! He stuck his fingers in his mouth each time and licked his index finger as he picked up another crumb!
I was upset! I told him there was no way I could eat any of it now. The only way I could have any would be to slice off the top and bottom and sides to leave a small bit from the inside.
I did threaten to do this but as the only gloves I have are the gardening ones that I was using today to cut back roses and Ivy, I decided that would not be a good idea.
I put the cake in the fridge. Ten minutes later when I went to get some milk for a coffee? Well you can see…. A BIG mouse had been at it!

I decided I wanted to make my own Tiramisu with no sugar.
Ingredients :
5 or 6 tablespoon fuels amaretto liqueur,
1 small tub of mascapone cheese,
1 teaspoon of granulated sweetener – the sort you can cook with (sucralose type)
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of coffee powder.
Layered on top of bananas ( per person)
Method :
Chop the bananas into slices and put in bowls.
Put mascapone cheese in a seperate bowl, add 4 or 5 tablespoonfulls of amaretto liqueur. Drizzle half a tablespoon of it onto each bowl of bananas.
Stir the liqueur into the cheese then sprinkle the sweetener, the cocoa and the coffee into the mix. Stir in together.
Sprinkle a little cocoa over the bananas and place half the mascapone mix on each portion of bananas.
Sprinkle a little cocoa on top.
Serve
Hope this is OK, it’s totally made up, but I hope if you make it you enjoy it.
