Tomato the Brave only ate dry food. He usually gets wet food around this time, but he's gotten very finicky lately, and mostly turns down wet food, including the kind he was always happy to eat. Oh well...
- As T S Eliot nearly said: "The feeding of cats is a difficult matter: it isn't just one of your holiday games.". Every single cat who has shared our roof, has always expressed a desire to have some of whatever we're having for dinner (and often surprised us, by really liking it); all except the present incumbent, Cassie. Not even cooked meats for her. Kibble and wobbly bits in jelly in pouches, is apparently What Cats Eat - until yesterday, when the duck of our Christmas dinner was, apparently, A Comestible Of Interest. She ate as much as I cared to give her. I shall offer her more when she descends for lunch today, but it's odds-on she'll just sniff it disdainfully and give me A Look, as if I had offered her sprouts instead. It's a point of honour with cats to be unpredictable, I find. Anyway, the compliments of the season to you, your good lady, and all the felines.

We also made duck and our cat was pacing below the counter while it rested until we gave her some

Before lunch. Smoking dt# Skipper's Flake, in a MM Cobbler. With a glass of Spanish red wine. While listening to some piano composers. I'm getting melancholy, I think I'm going to cut roses in the garden, I don't have a garden, but hey, I'll cut something, maybe a Toscano. It's wonderful, the sidewalks are full of fresh dog shit, you can make little dolls out of shit, they are fresh. You can tell it's Christmas. I was thinking, if it never snows here, you could throw fresh dog shit as a substitute for snow. Yes, I know. It's ugly to talk about fresh shit at Christmas.

Survived Christmas! Having some morning coffee from the new Moka my wife got me/us. The old one wouldnt work on an induction stove. Smoking some White Horses in a Kai volcano...thats my guess at the shape.

Sigmund, Beautiful coffee maker. I have one just like it with 6 cups, although I would have preferred one with only two cups. Enjoy a good coffee my friend.
