Today has been so hot and gross that dragging my pasty ass outside into the sunlight seemed a better option than staying inside. I’m sure my skin will have an opinion tomorrow, because I didn’t think about sunblock or anything clever like that. Nothing really past that. Having a little dip into House Flipper, ’cause yanno, picking weeds and painting walls… Read more »

The air around here is squishy and gross, even if the humidity isn’t that high, or the temp completely unreasonable (though 74F outside feels a lot hotter inside due to how thick British homes are). There’s a chance we’ll have to bust out the mobile a/c units for a farewell tour before the proper a/c is installed… we’ll see. I… Read more »

It took 15 years, but we finally have cats that like boxes. I’d put one of the empty Coke boxes on the table, which promptly spawned a cat. So Z put another one, and it also spawned a cat. So yeah. I think this kind of captures them perfectly. Been chilling today, because yanno, that’s the Monday style. I’ve made… Read more »

The side passage outer wall that lost all those bricks lost another one in the past week. So I claimed it to put my Dremel on while I was outside drilling some stones. What have I learned? Diamond tip or not, they wear out very quickly when trying to do crystal/gemstones. So I’ve ordered some more to come in Monday,… Read more »

Back when they were all available, I had intended to get the kittencorns in all the colours of the rainbow. Instead, I have a truncated rainbow… but still, lots of kittencorny goodness. Add in my valentine Squishmallow, and it’s a pretty spiffy crew watching over my stuff. Speaking of stuff, the desk is a bit disastery again. That was always… Read more »

I was woken up at half four this morning by, quite probably, the worst wave of vertigo I’ve had in my entire life. Definitely the worst in the past 20 years or so, but I don’t quite remember any taking me out so badly that I spent 6-7 hours napping with my face pointed into the toilet. Lemme tell you,… Read more »

He’s a bit hidden in the hedge, but this is a picture of Raven watching Tyson. Being a cat, Tyson started wandering off from plain sight the second he realised he was being observed. Speaking of plain sight, I spotted a flea on Vivi’s face. I am not best pleased, as that could have only been picked up at the… Read more »

Z and I were chatting around lunchtime while he was reconciling the monthly family spending money spreadsheet. He’d commented we had X amount in Tesco vouchers, and I’m like… yo, let’s go. We have some birthday shopping to do, we can reward ourselves with some Subway, and off we went. It was my first time specifically going out to do… Read more »

I still don’t have any cats tucking me in at night, but Vivi loves to nab a snuggle when I’m trying to convince myself to get out of bed in the morning. It’s great on a weekend! On a weekday… maaaan. Makes it harder to get up, and I don’t wanna get up, but ah well. Today has been a… Read more »

I was getting set up to photograph the latest batch of pendants, when Vivi hopped up on the desk. Fine, Vivi and I have just about gotten a balance going. Then Raven piled on. Which means I ended up having at least one photo with a cat head in it, but thankfully, it didn’t mess up my lighting and was… Read more »
