Two more bleak sorts of days and a couple more to go according to the forecast. I went to quilting yesterday and had a horrible time as it was so noisy and argumentative and divisive. I did at least get four more blocks completed and four additional ones prepared for sewing next time I have a chance to get there.

The whole tenor of the group has changed in the time I have been absent and frankly if it does not change back again I will not be bothered to go for much longer. I have a few very good friends who go but the rest of them can go hang. When I win lotto (hah!) I will buy a house with a large sewing room that I can invite the quieter and more reasonable ones to go to - the ones who understand that a conversation is about exchanging views - not about shouting down anyone who dares to differ.

Grumble grump.

Sebastian has been giving Smidgen a hard time for the last couple of nights - not that Smidgen minds, if he did, he would get up and leave. They seem to have a game whereby Seb climbs onto his (smidgen's) chair, chews his head and paws at him, while Smidge endures, but paws at him to come back if he backs off. So I presume they are enjoying it mutually - it just looks barbaric.

Scored a packet of Weet Bix in the cottage I cleaned today which was useful. Then popped in to see one of my friends on my way home.
