All's well that ends well

	After 4 trips down to Angers last week I am glad to say that Bracken is well on the way to recovery. Here he is with his mistress, Jan. He must keep the large bucket on his head to stop him licking his scar. Unfortunately one of her other cats also has a bucket on after getting in a fight, so they must be thinking it's the latest fashion. Après je suis allée à Angers quatre fois la semaine dernière je suis heureuse que je peux dire Bracken recouvre sa santé. La voici avec sa maîtresse, Jan. Il doit porter le seau parcequ’il fait obstacle de se lécher sa cicatrice. Malheureusement, un de ses autres chats a un seau aussi, parcequ’il a lutté et sa face était blessé. Peutêtre ils pensent c’est la dernière folie.
	The high winds and storms last week tore the canvas of the yurt crown (the star shaped canvas that covers the 5 foot diameter window in the top). However after days of bad weather we were rewarded with a wonderful double rainbow.
The cat we rescued in November as a tiny thing has been growing steadily not least because of the number of birds he catches. However he also has a taste for paper. As well as eating the Être page (the verb 'to be') of my verb table book he has taken to chewing any knitting books left around! He does look cute when he is sleeping though.
	On tuesdays I go to the handcraft group 'Doigts Agiles'. At the moment everyone seems to be making variations on a patchwork bag. There is even a crochet version. I thought I would try it using modular knitting methods and an I-cord handle. I will felt this when it is finished. Look out for pictures later this week. Chaque mardi je vais à la groupe, ‘Doigts Agiles’. À ce moment tout le monde fait un variation d’un sac de patch . Il y a un version en crochet aussi. J’essaye un version en tricoter à la modulaire avec des poignées de ‘I-cord’. Quand il est fini je le feutrai. Regardera les photos en plutard cette semaine.
