In the grand scheme of things, this is not a major loss. But I've had this cushion a long, long time - I bought it in the late 80s, when Liberty's briefly had a store on the High in Oxford - where Hobbs is now - and it was far more than I could afford at the time - I think £28. Today, I realized that it's been seriously mothed. I've inspected it from time to time for signs of moth, and it's always been very resilient, which has surprised me - we had such a bad infestation of them in Oxford, and they continue to surface from time to time. Clearly, a bunch of them had been partying in this cushion. Sure, I may yet put it in the freezer for 48 hours, and wash it, and and and - looking at this image, it's hard to believe that I won't at least give it a try. And yes, I know it's just a kilim cushion, but it's been around a long time, and I'm very fond of it, holes and all.
And yes, I know we have a very lovely cat called Moth, but that's different.
