Ah, cat pillow

 


Lounging by the wood stove with your personal cat pillow? That's a pretty good life for Nica on a cold winter day in Twisp. Amanda's cats are supposedly on a diet, but Millie still looks plump and soft as down. Who wants a skinny, flat pillow?

In Seattle we have switched over from unseasonably cold and dry to seasonably warm and wet, a welcome change. 

We were busy doing inside chores this weekend. John set up a new stereo receiver and fiddled with light bulbs, a never-ending job around here. I organized tax documents for the accountant, which always gives me a peculiar IRS headache. 

We've been re-watching the 2015 "Wolf Hall" in preparation for the new PBS series which starts in March. A complicated story to say the least, it is somewhat easier to follow the second time around.  


Watching a historical drama set in the time of Henry VIII strikes you how nothing in human nature has changed, except now we have the technology to make it all happen faster and stupider. 

History repeats the old story of fawning ambition, greed and revenge. Riding fine horses instead of limousines, the rich and powerful are exactly the same.
