Since I got the new quilt (aka new cat toy) my old cotton bedcover has become the new sofa cover. Minimalist monochrome living room is now much brighter! Below you can see Loki trying to out-orange the new décor…

Well bugger. As some of you may know, the winter (and summer) sales are usually the times I splash out on new towels and bed linen. This time I was out to help flatmate Peter find some new sheets – which we did – but then my eye fell on this pretty quilted cotton bed cover. It spoke to me. And my answer was “hell yes! you’re 30% off!”. Brought it home, washed it (no, didn’t iron it, I like the natural “extra quilted” look, also hate ironing), and happily put it on my bed. Only then did I realise my mistake. I mean, I reckoned that the cats would get a little claw action going on the new bed cover, like they do with practically every soft furnishing. But it hadn’t occurred to me that they would find it GREAT FUN to pull out the stitching. So before I forget what it looked like, here is a closeup of the pretty stitching (while it lasts)…

This week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “cat”
Too easy for me, right? So instead of going for the obvious, here is one of my favourite bars in Málaga, Los Gatos. The original Los Gatos is in Madrid, the nickname for Madrileños being gato (cat). The nickname for Malagueñas is boquerón (anchovy). No such colourful nickname for Sevillanos, except for a few extra colourful ones it’s probably best not to mention. 😉

Almost exactly eight years ago (in January 2006) I spotted Azar sitting on the sofa in front of my flatmate Peter’s laptop and reached for my camera. Later that year the pic became my first internet avatar when I started this blog. Anyhow, on Instagram they have a thing called Throwback Thursday (TBT) and people post old photos of themselves, or past travels, etc. And I remembered this photo as it recently came up on my friend Sledpress’s blog. Turns out it’s not only special because it features the love of my life, but also because it brought Sled over to casa az to check out this woman who had a black cat as an avatar, and thus our friendship began. Thanks Azar, you magical darling boy.
