In which R4 jumps to conclusions, and the marquise is efficient.

Dear Person who was just on R4,
I honour your intention in protecting birds by imposing a curfew on cats during the breeding season. It's a good idea.
It's been recommended by cat charities for years, for the welfare of both birds and cats. Most accidents involving cats happen in the evenings and early mornings, the same time as peak bird feeding time. My cats have had a twilight curfew since the early 90s. Not all cat owners are irresponsible or incapable of thinking of things for ourselves.
yours,
the marquise.

Words added to Grass King 1332. Ferret women have moved on from fighting cushions to biting other characters. I may be having too much fun with this, and I daresay there will be cuts later. But, y'know, book is being nice to me.

Laundry done
Cleaning done
Celts sorted again (with some pictures found)
Reference written for nice former student.
Next up: remind the marquis to buy rhubarb, for further cake.

I like being efficient. It makes me feel much more worthwhile than usual.
Skirt of the day: very favourite blue tiered long skirt that I love so much it's falling apart.

You've just moved several steps up my 'favourite people' list. I love people who keep their cats in when birds need protecting. If you lived close by, I'd be round offering you free rhubarb from my allotment.

Don't buy rhubarb - I have an abundance and will try and remember to take some to work with me tomorrow :-)

Sorry if this message is too late.

Oh, I can always find a use for rhubarb! And thank you.
