I spotted both of the boys on this particularly high perch, and it’s like… this looks like an album cover. So yanno, Raven & Vivi Presents: MEOW. I dig it. Today has been pleasingly productive. In spite of losing an hour this morning (power outage while work was being done in the area), I got quite a bit done. Hopefully… Read more »

I’d spotted that there were a couple of berries on our bramble when I was taking something out to the bin earlier, so I figured that I’d see what I could find. It’s not that many, but it’s still a pleasing first harvest. And bonus, most of them are actually sweet and lovely. I’m hoping that in future year we… Read more »

And now, our back garden space has a basketball hoop for the kids. Which means we’ve all had at least one go, because it’s fun.  Hopefully it’ll see some good use. Smaller declares themselves to be good at basketball, so hopefully this’ll encourage her to have fun improving her skills. Nothing really today. Just been making a random forest path… Read more »

So yes, it’s been a good outing-visit so far. My head is a bit naff, but I’m hoping that’ll settle a bit more now that we’ve eaten. Yeah, getting there. It was nice though, as I can’t remember the last time I was in someone’s home that wasn’t either a neighbour or family member. The kids haven’t murdered each other… Read more »

There’s something about clean hair and painted nails that make a girlshape feel more put together than usual. Bonus, found a reason to pop over and see Mum after she cancelled on me, hee hee. We had a nice little chat; it was good for both of us. I’m hoping we’ll get back to our (admittedly mainly recent) normal Friday… Read more »

Nothing to report, really. I had to put the a/c on ’causeI was feeling a bit off. I need to chuck another one of the vertigo tablets in my face, just to be on the safe side. I expect the main issue is just my body trying to get used to the metformin. Hopefully that’ll bed down sooner rather than… Read more »

Z took this photo the other night; it’s yet another stunning example of the cat logic, ‘If it fits, I sits’. I just love his uberdoof head angle though… so cute. Nothing much today. We’ve been able to have the windows out instead of needing the a/c, which has been nice. There’s not been any of the hoped for rain… Read more »

I realised that I hadn’t posted a picture of Poison recently, so here, rectifying that. She’s slimmed down quite a bit lately, and while she seems to be completely fine and normal, we do fret a tiny bit. It’s only natural, after losing Batman earlier this year. I have not been feeling my best today. I’m guessing that between starting… Read more »

A couple of years back, birds managed to seed our garden planter with blackberries. And, finally, berries are berrying! I’m really excited about it, because I love picking fresh blackberries. And I’m not really equipped spoonwise to do it on a walk along the old rail tracks, or up in the sand hills. So I wn’t get as much as… Read more »

Both of the kids have been spending most of today in their own rooms with the doors closed, which means the poor kittens had to find somewhere else to sleep. Which means I found Vivi sprawled across my bed at hilarious angles, and Raven is napping in my sock bin. I’m not convinced that it’s the comfiest bedding, especially at… Read more »
