basement, jargon, drizzle


Posted by Picasa In a basement window two cats and some washing catch my eye.

My sister-in-law talks about the jargon spoken  nowadays on committees. Her latest catch is " the lowest hanging fruit on the tree", meaning the most of obvious section of the market to appeal to. New to me.

All day, drizzle. A good word. Jane Austen wrote of a "mizzling rain", meaning the same thing. There is a cake meanwhile called lemon drizzle cake, a sort of sponge over which lemon syrup is drizzled when it is still hot.

It would appear that you have caught the cats' interest, as well.

That lemon-drizzle cake sounds delicious, and a good reason to buy some lemons this week.

I'd love to see what those cats posted after seeing you taking their picture.
Love the photo.
