In which Boots is a mighty hunter

She has just caught and nommed the fly that's been incessantly buzzing around my hair. I have rarely been so grateful to her.

Now if she can just catch and nom the other fly that's been incessantly buzzing around my hair...

In other Operation Keep Eating news, I have made banana cake! Banana cake is good for you, because it has flour and bananas and eggs, which are all part of a healthy balanced diet, and it has baking soda dissolved in hot milk, which is Science.

I have also washed the dishes (in the mixing bowl because boiling enough water to fill the sink would take literally forever due to the fact that it would cool down while the next jugful was boiling) and shovelled/brushed/washed the liquefaction silt off the paving stones in my backyard. (Now remains the patch of silt in the middle of the lawn, which I hope will eventually get washed back to ground level, and the sand dune that used to be my parsley patch, which I'll either remediate somehow or plant with tussocks and other sand-dunish plants.)
