Jan 28 Photo ~ Opening & Entering

Cat Burglar?

ScrappyCat climbs the house wall to open my bedroom window & enter the house thataway.  Didn’t quite catch the head entering.  She will NOT shut the window behind her, though.  She uses the piles of books as her staircase from the open window to the floor.

 

More Dogs & a Meeting with a Writer

Arawn-the-Hunter. This is Arawn, called for the Welsh god of the Underworld & leader of the Midnight Hunt. The Hounds of Hell used in the Midnight Hunt were black as is Ari. Really, he’s a loving gentle dog.

Twilight ~ Annon’s Spaniel with a new “hat”.

We were in town this day & wandered into a charity second hand bookshop for no good reason. I got talking to the lady running it on this occasion & found out that she is a published author. Curious I asked if the shop had any of her books & she found 1 that had been published the day before the publishing house went bust & she drove around in a van collecting as many of her books as she could. I have an autographed book by a woman who was a horse-dealer & farmer before turning author, copy editor & brains behind the only second hand bookshop I’ve ever come across that sells books purposely to raise money for charity. Marjorie Quarton is a fascinating person with such an enthusiasm for what she does & a willingness to share. Who knew that I’d meet an author in a charity shop in a side street in a rural Irish town?
