 In between cultural studies, took a moment to bake some Pumpkin and Thyme Scones. Both ingredients of which came from the garden. Satisfying and wholesome morning fare.

A day in the life of two privileged felines.










This afternoon, and all are aslumber. Kaatje sleeps on top of Camilles wardrobe on a suitcase, and Nook Nook stays warm and toasty in his little outside house.

A brilliant sunny August day. Should be studying but might leave that for the afternoon.  Started off,  with plant based french toast with mashed banana and blueberries. Then it was the usual washing on the line while keeping an eye on Kaatje all the while. Garden not looking too bad despite the wet muddy conditions. The soil is poor and will take a while to improve. In the mean time, the layers of mulch in the form of weeds, kitchen scraps, leaf matter, old potting mix etc. will continue to be piled up on the beds until the soil reaches a rich stage of rich nutrient value and friability.







Kaatje goes exploring.....

 Not today, but a few weeks ago. Lemon Cake baking. From the vegan baking tome, Beating Eggs and Butter.


 Italian Apple Cake 
Subbed the sugar for agave nectar and halved the oil content. Still utterly delish.
