As a preliminary step before moving to my yet-to-be-found new apartment, I went through all the drawers and cupboards and the boxes crammed under my bed, setting aside the few objects that I truly want to keep and filling numerous bags destined for the thrift shop. My possessions have now been halved, and I cannot help but feel a little proud of my willingness to let go of so many material things. Of course, I could not have achieved this without RD's invaluable assistance and vigilance. This intensive sorting session lasted an entire day... tiring work, as you can see.
I was overjoyed to finally find the Green Mousie, RD's long-lost favourite toy, stuck in the fold of a plastic bag under the bed.
But RD inexplicably transferred all his affection to this tension sample as soon as he caught sight of it.
I suppose it does somewhat resemble a mouse, at least from a certain angle! He has been pouncing on it and tossing it about with such ferocious energy that I have now taken to calling him "my fierce warrior".
As for my search for a new home, I have thus far visited only two likely candidates; the first was located in a sadly neglected building (never a good sign) and the second unfortunately proved too small...
8 little note(s):
A very discerning cat, RD - the tension sample isa more artistic version of a mouse than the chemical green one!
Good luck with the house hunting. There's a perfect apartment waiting for you somewhere!
what absolutely stunning photographs
took my breath away !! handsome boy.
on dirait en effet une souris dégonflée. j'en reviens pas de voir à quel point tu es déjà avancée dans tes préparatifs ! quelle efficacité ! ça te dirait pas de venir faire un peu de ménag chez moi? :)
Thank you for your encouragement, Rachel, and for your compliments, Susan! Taking photos of RD is easy, he's so gorgeous!
Nathalie, le grand ménage était devenu vraiment nécessaire, et j'essaie de «simplifier» en toutes choses... donc disons que j'étais triplement motivée!
Gah! Pendant que je me demandais comment allaient les choses pour toi la semaine dernière, c'est le moment qu'a choisi Google Reader pour ne pas me dire que tu avais en fait donné des nouvelles... Il vient finalement de me signaler tes trois derniers billets, alors même si je connais le punch, je m'offre une séance de rattrapage pour avoir les détails des derniers développements!
Bravo pour tout le travail que tu as fait là! Ça va faciliter le déménagement, c'est sûr, mais j'imagine bien que ça allège de façon générale aussi. Ah, j'aimerais bien arriver à faire pareil!
Tu sais, je fais un grand ménage de façon périodique, comme ça j'élimine pas mal des objets que j'avais auparavant gardés «au cas où»!
Like the look of that tension sample rodent. I suspect Omar and Olive would like to meet one of those mysterious mice. They'd toss it about and work themselves into a frenzy. (They also have a weakness for those mice like RD's favourite. They must be fun to fling and catch.)
I bet the 1st of May can not come soon enough. A new place! Enjoy!

The very first thing RD does with any mouse-shaped toy is to rip its tail off... He still hasn't succeeded with the knit version!
