A great afternoon with bubbly girls

Hello everyone. We had a great Sunday afternoon with two bubbly girls, Claire and Lenka. What a fun! We had sushi (Alaskan wild salmon and Mike's cucumber) as starter, tempura (aubergine, sweet pepper, sweet potato and Mike's courgette) and fried chicken fillet a la Japonaise with leek sauce as double main, and Mike's cheesecake with fresh strawberries picked this morning as desert! I forgot to take photos of food as we were so busy eating!

Pearl is eating cookie crumbs 
Pearl loved all attention. She loves girls! Both girls enjoyed giving her cookies, With the request from Lenka, Mike brought Scooter, the African grey Timneh parrot, to the kitchen. He flew down to the tap over the kitchen sink, and got all our attention. He did a bit of Stevie Wonder dance, and flew up to upstairs again.

What a fun!
They are soon leaving Canterbury to start their new lives separately. Both created fantastic works for the degree show. Good luck to them!

You may wonder what happened to Topaz. She had stayed in the car in the garage. It is somehow her most favourite place to be. She didn't want to come back inside house! Even after she came back, she repeatedly scratched the door to go back to the garage!

But after a while, she decided to sleep with Pearl on Pearl's bed. Yes, the pink bed is Topaz's bed.

'There is something on my head... there is something in my bed.'

While We are having a long lunch, two of my ceramics were sold at my Etsy shop. Thank you so much! I feel the girls brought me luck! My shop has been busy lately. I had three customers from Australia this week, and I had not sold any to Australia before that! It is amazing that my ceramics travels to almost the opposite side of the globe. It used to be unthinkable before Internet was available. The world is becoming more dynamic and I am so happy to be a part of it.

      It is nice to have friends coming over lunch once a while. We would do more often if we don't have to clean the house! ; ) ( As I type, Topaz is dropping loads of fur!)

    What a terrific way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Good friends, good food and sales too!

    We feel like we are living in the House Of Fur! Our little Winter pup looks like she has a smooth, thin coat,....Hah! She looks like she is molting she is losing so much undercoat. The kitties are happiest rubbing fur all over us, the chairs, bed....but what would we do without our 4-leggers?

      Same here. They started moulting again! Third time this year! They think winter is coming! It is 14 C (57 F) today. I agree. They are our joy - Ummmm, most of the time ; )

    Oh my even without the photo, the description of your food made me drool (excuse me for that please), Mike makes some fabulous dishes.
    Austrailia has found you ...not long now and you will be world renowned !
    I will smile then, and say I knew her when ...

      ... I knew her when she was a struggling clay sculpting ceramic artist that worked her fingers to the bone, exhausted herself and wore her clothes backwards ;)
