A Success!

Do you remember a while ago that I posted about the cute owl candles that DH had bought me and how I wanted to save the containers? The post is here. I had an inspiration. I invested in some artificial succulents from Temu.

They're currently around £18 for ten, which means that they were an extravagance that I absolutely didn't need - but I really wanted. And it's always a gamble getting stuff from Temu. Some of it is absolutely top quality and wonderful and some of it truly isn't. These don't look too band and if you take them out of the concrete pots, they fit almost perfectly into the owls after the candle has burned out.

The one on the right is the unburned candle. I think that the succulent idea works great. They can be dotted around the house in tiny corners and safely ignored. Of course, that leaves me with the tiny concrete pots.

Which look like they ought to be useful, but I have no idea what. Because they look useful, I'll probably donate them if I can't find a use for them soon.

I'll be back with a proper post tomorrow.

Writing stuff - This week's instalment of The Guest is here. I'm working on a new edition of Cats in the Bible with a couple of extra stories, and for those who have read it, do you think this is a good cover?

For those who haven't, it's funny stories starring the cats who used to own me. Because I was always tickled by the idea that there was no mention of cats in the Bible, I put up a Bible quote at the top of each chapter that could apply, so if I post Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, “Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.” Then there's a fair chance of a mouse being chased in the story. I hope to get it all finished by the end of January.

Hugs and good health to all.
