My feet have been mega cold this week. I know, it’s colder this week and that’s going to contribute, but brr baby, brr. Even with nice woolen socks, I need my slippers to keep the edge off. Today has mainly been Minecrafting, with Littler sitting behind me in audience. She really wants to play with me, and I keep turning… Read more »

Z had sprinkled a bit of the ‘nip on the rug for the cats yesterday… which they ignored until today. Did it need ageing or airing out? Who knows, ha ha. Poison was having a lovely time of it this morning, and it took all my willpower to not divebomb her and bury my face in her fattytum. Batman is… Read more »

This past week, I’ve been doing my nails a few days in advance of when I actually want to post, and then redoing them on the same day. This whole having something in the can in advance is making me feel a bit chiller about trying to get back into a regular painting routine. It also helps that my older… Read more »

Z had gone outside to water the sunflowers earlier, so I wandered out afterwards so I could claim that I actually went outside once today. I sat on the stoop to chat, and noticed this specimen. Um… since when did Godzilla breed with a dandelion? I need to see if I can find out what it is, besides ‘really gigantic… Read more »

If there is one thing that has made this lockdown period tenable for Smaller, it’s that she’s able to spend loads of time playing Minecraft and watching related videos. She is easily my equal in general knowledge, and my superior in some of the fiddlier bits, like potion-making. While I will not out and out play a game with her yet… Read more »

This is my patient-with-cat face. He’s standing next to me whining again, because that’s what my clingy furboy does. He ran off for a second, and is now standing next to me staring. What do you want child, what do you want. *chuckles* I wouldn’t have it any other way though. He’s a good boy, and I know there’s gonna… Read more »

Today has been an ultra-pleasant, lovely day. It’s a bit colder again, windy, bit of rain, bit of sun. But after the heat the last couple of days, it’s just been. Nice. *chuckles* Z and even managed to rub a few spoons together and get a bit of the clutter pushed back. He did it ’cause he wanted to test… Read more »

So. I like pens. I am picky about pens. I am picky about pens to the degree that disposables of certain colours have to be certain makes from certain brands to be the right colour. This here, my delivery of vigintituplets? 20 pens in my Etsy store-related colour for less than £4, delivered the next day… yaaassssss. Z is very… Read more »

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 »
