Taken this morning, this picture is how both of the cats chose to respond to me opening the curtains — by scrunching up within the bits that were still closed. Cats, innit. About a second later Smaller came charging in, and they both turned around to present faces. So yanno, feline business as usual, I guess. Past that, just doing… Read more »

I figured I’d annoy Vivi by scooping him up for a picture, and ended up with this blurry beauty. I think his alarmed goober face is what makes the picture, hee hee. Today’s one thing of note is that the wires and headpins I ordered came in. It feels very nice to have those restocked. Not that I’m making anything… Read more »

Smaller has expressed an interest in learning chess. Z likes playing chess, so it’s match match. Vivi… just likes to take part, ha ha. So of course, I look up and find *both* of the cats are investigating the board. Ah well. FB is gonna get slammed with lots of pictures of the cats being cats, as the world demands…. Read more »

I can’t remember why I walked into the kitchen… Smaller maybe called me in? But I found Vivi sitting in the middle of the table mess, looking smug. Yes cat, I know we’ve let it get a bit built up, but eeesh. Cats, innit. Not up to anything particular today. Had the historical thing rolling on the telly, but not… Read more »

I shared this yesterday on FB, but couldn’t resist using it tonight. I both adore and despair of these ‘kittens’ and the places they get themselves into. Vivi was perfectly comfy and not stuck in the slightest… goober. I got a few more sets of stitch markers made up today, and realised that yeah, I needed to restock both headpins… Read more »

Z and I noted as we were driving out of the village that this was probably, almost assuredly, the first family outing since Covid hit the world. We did a wander around B&M buying too many snacks, picked up some fruit and lunch at Tesco, and then came back home. Did I say snacks? So many snacks, ha ha. Bonus… Read more »

When over at Mum’s house, I did my semi-regular barefoot run through her back garden, taking pictures of random things. I also made a second run to pick some apples, as her Bramley was quite fruitful. They aren’t eating apples, so I didn’t really want them for me, but I figured that she could gift them to her neighbour. And… Read more »

I pulled a face at my phone, and it’s like… hi, I look like I’m trying to be Vivi. Mainly in the eyes; his face is a smiley one. Not a lot going on today. Work happened, having some fun in Diablo 3. I got around to washing and pressing some cross-stitches I’ve had sitting around, so I need to think… Read more »

Though I hadn’t received notification it was inbound, Poison’s stone arrived today. It’s beautiful, and looks great next to her brother’s stone. Smaller suggested we do them side by side, which yes, that works, we can talk to both of them more easily. I realised in the past few days that like… pride stuff… stitch markers… why not combine the… Read more »

As said, the boys are jazzed to have the table back to fill with their increasingly large selves. So looking back and noting that I had 1.5 cats due to curtain hiding cracked me right up. Nothing fancy today. Back to work, got some stuff done, consumed a sugar bomb to try and get my brain into working mode. It… Read more »
