You can tell it's the start of the growing season when the draining board has plant pots on it as well as cups and plates. 😄
Don't worry all you hygiene freaks out there ... they had their first rinse outside and I was repurposing old washing up water for a final scrub!
Here's Ginger to calm your nerves.
He was in the Lodge calming his own nerves first thing this morning, as his looky-likey was in our garden and Ginger had to chase him off. Close up he is TWICE the size of my skinny little Ginger boy, but with almost identical markings. There's no chance of us feeding the wrong one by mistake!!
Here's the LINK to todays post on the Eat for £3.50 a Week Challenge, which today includes the first two days worth of the foods I ate.

Ginger looks very relaxed and content. xx
ReplyDeleteHe is now that I have rescued him from his look-alike bullying invader. ;-)
DeleteOh dear, I am afraid people would be appalled at what gets washed up in my kitchen sink! Flowerpots, muddy shoes, paint brushes, you name it. I wish I had a laundry sink for such things! We are on a well and have our own sewage system; might be different for those on city water and sewer. I do have an outside spigot for use in warm weather, but during cold seasons, the kitchen sink is the only option.
ReplyDeleteI usually find it's younger and more germ phobic readers that have a hissy fit if I show something like that. Us, shall we say older and wiser ladies, take all that with a pinch of salt. Back on the old homestead I had an outdoor sink unplumbed with access to our underground water storage tanks for rinsing and washing gardening and chickeny things, here I have a kitchen sink and the bathroom one and one or the other gets chosen.
DeleteIt is surprising what we can manage to clean in our kitchen sinks, and none of us have gotten any dread disease.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yes, back in the day it was washing the clothes and bathing babies for me as well as 'normal' kitchen cleaning tasks. :-)
DeleteI’m having trouble getting in to the challenge safari keeps telling me I have the wrong address, am I the only one, from Sandy
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have never used Safari so I don't know about it. You could try just using the blog address instead rather than the link and see if that helps.

Thank you regards Sandy
DeletePoor (and very pretty) Ginger! Our garden's full of strange cats at the moment (not that I'm complaining!)
ReplyDeleteOur kitchen sink is a germophobic nightmare - doesn't do us any harm, I'm got the constitution of an ox (as my Mum always used to tell me!) xxx
Ginger has one black pussycat friend that he allows in 'his' garden and a tortoiseshell and this big bully ginger that he most certainly does not like. He's a good judge of character as the black one allows us to stroke him but the others certainly don't. Friendly cats it would seem stick together.
DeleteI've always been of the opinion that it's wise to expose ourselves, and in my case my boys, to all sorts of germs and as few antibiotics as is possible. Our bodies are wonderful things and capable of lots of self healing etc if we give them the chance to build immunity.
Aww beautiful Ginger, what a stunning boy x
