With the weather turning cooler I’m thinking about that whole nesting thing.  I’m getting pickier about my bed.  Most beds are either too perfect or not layered right.  And I have the added problem of an the wee cat who is getting elderly & dribbles now.  So here’s my best solution -I lie a double sheet diagonally across the duvet & tuck the corners under.  She cant crawl under it either -which she much prefers.  So I can just whip it off easy-peasy for washing, much easier than stripping the duvet cover off too often.  I’m really lucky to have a couple of beautiful old linen sheets that Mum inherited from an elderly friend of hers years ago.  I’ve decided linen is the best for bed coverings -you get that perfectly used, mushy, comfy look.  Just inviting you for a little lie-down.  I use a super big king sized sheet for a bed-cover -to cover the ugly legs etc.  I hate those flounces that go over the mattress base -they get all tangled up when you make the bed -and they’re ugly too.

I seem to be developing a new collection of silver cups.  I’ve never won one, so I’m awarding them to myself now.  The old silver container reminds me of my grandmothers old sugar bowl.  It was a battered beautiful old thing, always on her dining table ready for a cuppa.
