20.08.2026 200+ cats to go!

 ~?~

  Thursday 20th 55F/13C [7.40] A bright morning, then cloud, with rain this evening. 21C/69F in the room. 13C/55F in the greenhouse.

 Up at 6.30 after a quiet night.

 My lady visitors have talked me into selling my late wife's ceramic cat collection. Which amounts to probably well over 200 individual items. 

A picture of only some of the cats drying on the dining table. As years of dust were washed and rinsed carefully away. In preparation for being housed in their new, corner, display cabinet. 

I have advertised the collection on a Danish, online small ads platform. With 17 images. The price is deliberately set low. Strictly for collection only. So re-sellers will have to do some work for a change. Bring your own packing materials. 

 The buyer could easily make a profitable hobby from selling these cats individually. I have neither the time nor inclination to get involved. A true collector would appreciate the sheer quantity and quality within the collection. Many of the cats were never on display in my wife's lifetime. Due to a serious lack of free shelf space. I never knew she had accumulated so many. 

 My wife told me to sell everything just before she died. So now, finally, I am. Four years late[r.] It was not my collection and I feel no close attachment to them. Hopefully somebody will be willing to come and pack them. Anybody hoping for my packing and sending in the parcel post will need a very thick wallet. I have no intention of subsidizing a re-seller. Having already almost given away my classical hi-fi/audio components and clock collection.

 11.15 Returning from seeing the ladies off at the village bus stop. As they start their long journey home. It was nice to have visitors.
