Cats on skirts: part 5

I hadn't forgotten, I was just waiting for the marquis to show me how to upload pictures from his phone.
Today's picture -- and, by chance, today's skirt -- is of my black pinstripe wrap skirt. I bought this at last year's Cambridge Folk Festival, because my existing long black skirt was wearing out. It's a heavy-ish cotton, with thin stripes of read, white, orange and black. Practical and wearable and comfortable.
The cats pictured are my first guests of this series. Welcome, [livejournal.com profile] themonkeycats. The orange boy is Leicester and the fluffy black and white is Humbug. They are both lovely, friendly, inquisitive boys, who wanted to know what I was doing. It was a gloomy day, sadly, which is why the picture is rather blurry.

Hooray! (And I hear Humbug's not feeling too bright today, so maybe a little internetty fame will cheer him up...)

Along with all the other Cambridge cats, he wishes to know when you'll next come and see him.

Late July, isn't it? When I join the Forged...

It is indeed.
The weekend after the party is the folk festival. You could stay on and join us lolling, listening and drinking the beer.

Yay for skirts! And I was going to comment on your other post, which I read earlier, but am being booted off the computer. So: well done for getting near the end of revisions!

Pretty kitties! And a cool skirt. Pinstripes!

Very neat photo! Cats and skirts make a grand combination.

So they tell me. Skirts do make for a good lap.

Sigh, when so we see your sweet face too? Love the kitties, and have I told you that the Travel Cat you gave me before I left the UK is in every car I drive on the front ledge where she can see out and see me, and I can see her?

Skirt looks lovely too. I have this lovely generic memory of you wafting gently down any con hotel corridors, a vision of olde worlde elegance, calm and charm in a long skirt or dress. Generic because it belongs to many memories. :)

Thank you.
I am doing my best to stay out of the pictures, I have to say. I hate to be photographed. And I'm getting old and saggy. Sigh.

It is a very cumfy skirt. We are always happy to sit on your skirts for you.

I am always very happy to offer you a lap.
