It’s Hump Day, and, like the past two days, it’s been miserable, cold, and drizzly in Chicago—but we have still had no snow. The same is true in Dobrzyn, though there’s been some a bit of snow and the Vistula is frozen. Here Hili helps out Cyrus (she can slip though the bars just fine, though it’s getting harder with her recent weight gain).
Cyrus: So what was the Garden of Eden like?Hili: It was small and fenced off. I will call them to open the gate for you.
In Polish:
Cyrus: Jak to było z tym Rajskim Ogrodem?
Hili: Był mały i ogrodzony płotem. Zaraz ich zawołam, żeby ci otworzyli bramę.
I didn’t quite understand this dialogue, which was, as are all of them, composed by Andrzej, so Malgorzata explained it to me:
Explanation: Cyrus thinks that our garden is THE Garden of Eden. He heard something that there is another Garden of Eden in the Bible and he asks erudite Hili what was the story with the other Garden. She explains that it was too small and limiting for big animals (humans included but not for such nimble creatures like cats – fences are no hindrance for them). So, she is going to help Cyrus to freedom from his Garden of Eden by calling us to open the gate for him.Andrzej’s thoughts make plenty of short cuts…
Blue sky in London this morning! 🙂
…yet sadly this year is set to be the warmest recorded across the world http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/oct/20/2014-on-track-to-be-hottest-year-on-record-says-us-science-agency
Hili isn’t preggers, is she?
Fat-shaming a cat!!!!
No, I just thought we might have mini-Hili’s to look forward to 🐱
I believe that the Furry Princess of Poland has been rendered incapable of casting kittens.
Casting? Is that an exp’n?
No, she is just fat (:
All those mousies going straight to her hips….

makes perfect sense to me
She’s large-boned and nicely rounded.
As Precious in McCall Smith’s #1 Ladies Detective Agency says of herself: she’s “traditionally built”.
