    Wow, that is a cat power pose @WinterWarrior! He's clearly shown who's boss, hope Mr WW not too put out.

  • Good morning and happy Sunday 🍫☕️📚
    I didn’t sleep much last night. I’m not sure if it’s Dads anniversary, MrWW’s huffy mood and atmosphere, my age, or a combination of everything, but I was mostly reading, overthinking, staring at the ceiling, with a few nods in between. I’m sure tonight will be better!
    Yesterday afternoon I did some work on the quilt and shall do more this afternoon. I will be taking dog for her drive this morning. MrWW has now closed his man cave so hopefully there’ll be no more cat incidents. Big cat is sitting on my legs, cutting off circulation and wondering why MrWW and the dog are afraid of him, while snickering quietly to himself. Smallest cat is on my chest, padding in my hair, taking skin of my head 😖
    No spends planned, but I might do a small TT.
    I hope you all have wonderful Sundays full of happy moments and the best snacks.

  • My milk frother has a setting for hot chocolate using the solid stuff. I use it with green and blacks powder but also for frothy milk or milkshakes. It's a severin and we got it from Amazon a while back. Not cheap but it's well earn't it's keep.

    Isn't there a saying let sleeping dogs lie? I'm sure it applies more to cats! 🤣

  • May I suggest a frugal alternative?  Ikeea do a £2 milk frother whisk thing, battery powered, easy to clean.  Great for that kind of job.  We have an expensive bean to cup machine but the whisk thing does as good a job for less hassle.  Used to make hot chocolate for the boys with it using the flaked choc in tins from Lakeland.
