She can never resist checking out the photo props :-) It has actually been raining overnight. National Umbrella Day We can credit the Chinese for being the first to protect us from the rain. Their paper parasols received a layer of wax followed by lacquer that made the umbrella withstand the elements. One of the first umbrella shops in existence opened in 1830 at 53 New Oxford Street in London, England. The shop, operated by James Smith and Sons, still operates regular hours at the same location today. In 1928, Hans Haupt’s pocket umbrellas appeared. In 1969, Bradford E. Phillips, the owner of Totes Incorporated of Loveland, Ohio, obtained a patent for the first “working folding umbrella.” nationaldaycalendar.com/national-umbrella-day-february-10/

TSC Scavenger challenge #37 A black cat out and about (NOT your pet) This cat turned up at our place and was starving hungry. I called him "Sweetie" We have seen him before, visiting our cat Dora. He has yellow eyes and a long tail, and Dora has green eyes and a bobtail, so they look very alike. He hung around, and kept coming back for food. We asked our neighbour, and he said that it was probably Phat Albert who had been missing about a month, and had been living in a drain. Next time he came by we kept him in, and Ian visited the likely owners, who confirmed that he was their cat. They were overjoyed to be reunited with him :-) Apparently "phat" means cool or excellent :-)
