Birthday girl

We had a busy Sunday which started with a walk into town because I needed shampoo (I’m allergic to all but a very few). The shop hadn’t opened so we bought flowers on the market instead and walked home. A very brief cup of coffee preceded helping our friend to move house and we completed the afternoon with some overdue gardening. My friend owns Rafiki’s brother and on Friday she reminded me that it was their birthday. I’ll confess I’ve never actually marked Rafiki’s birthday but she got a couple of treats and a lie on the brand new sofa for turning 16.

Weather: lovely, threat of thunderstorms fizzled out.
Covid: quite hot for masks
Good thing: I have reached a stage in life when I buy cushions to match the artwork 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh you've gone all modern. Like the cushions although she looks as bit scary.

Happy birthday to Rafiki! It looks like she’s enjoying her special day on your gorgeous new sofa. That looks incredibly comfy as well as stylish. And I love the artwork and complimenting cushions.

So sweet. She is a clone of my cat who will be turning 13 soon. Love the composition and colors.

I like the look of the new lounge and cushions. Happy birthday Rafiki

@fueast you sound like Rachel- every time she brought somebody home she’d say ‘Do you think that’s terrible?’ 🙄

[Judith Greenwood]

@peggysirk it’s really comfy and huge but I’ve had to invest in shorter legs for it!

@madamelucy it would be difficult to pick her from a line up of tabbies though she’s gone very vocal in her old age so I think she’d announce herself!

[Alison Tomlin]

@judithg she does look like she might set fire to your new sofa.
