La Gata Encantada

La Gata Encantada is the name of a pub in a novel by John Varley. It means 'the enchanted cat'. I like cats, so I stole the sign (it just needed some revarnishing and - Look! Good as new!). The door is open, to an amber glow and the sound of music and good fellowship. Come on in.

Name:

Pure as a virgin and cunning as a rabbit!

La, La, La

Just made a paper witch's hat, la la la. Oh, and sticky-tape. It's for a hat for a friend - instead of chopping up fabric to start, I did a mock-up on paper. The technical term is toile, by the way (me study sewing terms good-good!).

The tail of the assignment was handed in okay, albeit with plenty of fun and games when I couldn't print it (ten cents short on the printing budget). Had a nice chat with the poetry lecturer - I got to tell him about Journey to the West and the gift of pumpkins!

And now I'm very sleepy. There is not a chance in hell that I'm opening out my paper hat-toile onto the felt and cutting tonight.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I don't know nearly enough Italian to read your own site (though I think one of the stories you posted is "The Little Red Hen").

Luck to you.

Sorry, my bad. It was late, I was tired, and it was easier than writing "Specialist headgear associated with Medieval Jews, differentiated by its colour (yellow) from that specialised headgear associated with magicians and money-lenders, all distinguished by a high point, and often by a wide brim."

Though I'm not sure if there were any money-lenders in that time period who weren't Jewish.

I fear calabazablog is just a comment spammer, plugging their own blog and trying to improve google rank. If you google "calabazablog" (link above) you'll find the same I-haven't-bothered-to-read-your-blog comment 130 times.
