While I was in hospital with the staph infection Smurfy gave me (okay, indirectly as the bacteria entered the blood through a Smurfy scratch) he thought it was a cool idea to pee on my bed, so Christian (who was overwhelmed by the boathold already) spent a day washing sheets and pillows. Fortunately the mattress cover was due to be replaced anyway–we had bought the material in Vanuatu last year and never got round to changing the top side. So yesterday we washed and reused the lower part of the cover (it’s a crazy shape), pinned the top piece in place, then I sewed two sides with the machine, we gently stuffed the soft latex mattress in and then I spent the rest of the afternoon stitching the remaining two sides by hand..
As the sewing machine was out, I remade the mosquito screens today–vital to have tight-fitting screens in an area with malaria.
Smurfy supervised all projects as usually, helping paws always in the way… How can anybody be such a monster and still look so cute and innocent?
