more bits and pieces

We finally got Duck eating her dinner again! Putting kibble in my bedroom for her got us partway there, and feeding her on the floor next to Tarball seems to have gotten us the rest of the way there. Which... surprises me a little. I guess she's more social than she likes to let on. I'm glad she's eating her gooshy again

I'm glad the cats are adjusting to the move...hopefully none of them try to walk back to the old place.

I've got nothing on the peeling paint...except maybe be careful as your place is old enough that lead containing paint might be an issue if you peel enough layers away.

I'm thinking the faux tin might be worth the effort of peeling the paint...in the long run.

Is mulled wine made by heating the wine with spices?

As a new home owner you might be horrified to learn that house priced up here continue to climb.

A single detached home in my region, in February, has an average price of $550,000CDN. A forty minute drive from here in the suburbs of Toronto the price climbed to over $1,000,000CDN and in downtown Toronto prices passed $1,500,000CDN.

Politicians and realtors continue to deny there's a housing price bubble.

Happily, the cats seem to have all decided that who they are with (namely, us) is way more important than where they are living. Duck, however, is extremely persnickety when it comes to food, and apparently not only demands that the food itself be correct, but also demands that its presentation be correct. Oh well. I can handle one issue per cat without too much trouble, and her issue is food

Doesn't the alcohol boil off during the simmering? It does sound tasty 'tho.

The house prices aren't sustainable...and eventually the bubble will pop and lots of people will be ruined or underwater.

Well, we simmer it with a lid on, so the alcohol mostly sticks around.
