This picture was taken earlier in Mum’s back garden. We’d popped around to take some birthday cards, and as part of our distancing efforts, we continue to meet around the back. I’d plopped down in front of her potted maple, which I adore. I don’t know what kind it is, but I’ve asked Z to ask her when he runs… Read more »

On a trip to the postbox earlier, I spotted that my little carnie friend seems to be doing better. Or, at least, has made some new friends, ha ha. Hopefully they’ll do okay in the face of this fierce heat we’re having. Like, it’s mid-80s today, and it’s gonna be high 80s tomorrow. Add in the fact the sun feels… Read more »

When I was turning the a/c off last night, I hadn’t plugged the bottom before turning it on. The plug? Oh, so you can drain off the condensation the machine collected, ha ha. So I jarred it, and it started pouring into a bag of yarn that was right underneath it. Whups? Well done, ha ha. For all my brain… Read more »

This entire week is set to be rudely warm, so Z and I made the effort to get both of the air conditioners up and running. ((zoned out and forgot to finish, whups xD))

Sole… soul… har har. Naw like, today has been a day for trying to do some soul work. I think that I will be doing a harsh cull on my social media friends — because I need to.  There’s a bit of salt, and a bit of rancor, but more that I’ve been letting soul wounds fester for a long… Read more »

On the occasion of my first Christmas here in the UK, my in-laws funded me getting ALL THE ROSES for our garden. It ended up being 6 or 7, most of which did decently. When we moved, I insisted that they come with us if at all possible. We moved at the right time of year for transplanting, and my… Read more »

When I look at my hair normally, the main thing I can see is the red that has been ‘my’ colour for years. Aaand then I take a picture and see just how long it’s been since I last coloured my hair, ha ha. I’m still pretty intent on letting it grow out as long as possible before I feel… Read more »

It’s the cats’ birthday today! So for your pleasure, I give you a photograph of Poison gettin’ high. Our vociferous girl gets even chattier on the ‘nip, and anyways. We loves her and her brother, and hope that we have many more good years with them both. At newly 13, I’m aware that they are senior cats and have been… Read more »

The last 24 hours have seen quite a bit of heavy rain; the flower I posted yesterday has suffered quite the battering. It was even raining so hard at one point last night that it woke me up — that has never happened before in my life. It’s sunny right now, but the forecast says there might well be more rain… Read more »

Amongst the gazillion flower photos I took yesterday and then picked a rugby ball over was this contrary little one. I think it’s a carnation? I’m not 100% sure, but it was there all on its own, being bold as you please. And well, I was pleased, so. *jazz hands* Today has been mainly pleasing. Work sucked and I barely… Read more »
