I suppose I should be glad the cats are good ratters, but I do worry that they'll bring one in and let it go alive.

Ziggy is a very pretty kitty. They are gorgeous cats and look very well settled now. I imagine that they will enjoy your new fireplace really a lot now that the cold weather has finally hit us.

It would mean opening up the chimney breast and having the chimney swept then installing the fireplace. It's a very cold room so having an open fire would help to warm it up. Meanwhile we use the backroom as a sitting room and the front room as a (cold)dining room...<br /><br />Your cats are Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-71047031416035326692016-11-15T17:15:16.755+00:002016-11-15T17:15:16.755+00:00Oh Ziggy, you're too gorgeous!

I'm feeling a bit of seasonal pressure too, ticked off a couple of Christmas presents this week and have another parcel to compile to send this weekend. I also have a PhD deadline in a few weeks, and lots of social events, so it's all busy here.
