Morning, mumpers! It’s currently 6c/43f with a predicted high of 8c/46f and cloudy. Weather app says “I wonder who stole your fucking sunshine. Wasn’t me.” I don’t know, but there’s none out there today.
Awww…poor little thing, perhaps she’s been told off in the past for doing that? I’m glad she came out and got some fussing.
Much better than just dumping a pile of cremains on the ground and hoping it doesn’t all blow back in your face! I looked at a walking stick that you could put the cremains in, every time the stick met the ground, it would puff out a little bit. That sounded like the perfect thing for my mum’s cremains, she wanted them scattered around the places she loved to go walking. I never bought one, her cremains are still in my office at home, I’m not ready to part with her.
I am on the other side of the pond, and I don’t like this timeline either. I can’t imagine how bad it must be for you, I hope there are enough people who will keep fighting the good fight.
Does little happy dance…congrats!
Good thing you had your vaccination 
and got something from the doc very quickly. I hope you feel better soonest!
This would be a major consideration for us too. For years, we used catteries for our mogs but we changed to a home-based catsitter who calls in as many times a day as we want. They charge per visit so at the moment, ours get two visits a day because Shadow needs his meds twice daily. I like the idea of them being at home in comfortable, familiar surroundings too, especially now that Shadow is much older. We’d have to separate them in a cattery, he wouldn’t like being cooped up with the girlies! I think if he reached a point of needing more care, we’d have to seriously consider whether we needed to be away from home at all.
{{{{{nellie}}}}} I hope you can come back and lose yourself in the mundane for a little while. For me, it’s a little escape from the overwhelming sadness I have for all of you.
Most of my cooking is like that! Combined with “what’s left in the fridge that I need to use before next week?” and it all seems to come out ok.
That is such a lovely thing to read - perhaps they were just waiting for the Right Person to come along and love them. Best of luck with the interviews, I hope the place you really want realises that you would be perfect for them.
That is fabulous! I hope you managed to get caught up with the MMP after all that excitement.
I got home yesterday and did my chores, then fed and medicated the cats before getting my dinner. Then I went out to fetch 'im indoors back from the station. He’s been to look at a room in a shared house that he thinks will suit him, so once he moves in he’ll have somewhere to leave most of his work-related stuff (and do his laundry).
The cats were somewhat bemused by his arrival, they haven’t worked out the new routine, and they’ll be even more confused because he’s off again later today. He has a ticket to see a band down in Leicester tonight, I don’t like the band so I am not going (and I’d have to take time off work for it), which means I get a bonus bloke-free night tonight. He’ll be back some time tomorrow, and we are out again tomorrow night - I have few plans for the day besides going to the gym in the morning.
Today is going to be busy, there are only two of us in the office today, normally there’s four of us but one’s on leave and the other’s called in sick so the two of us will keep the place afloat. I’m having a discussion with the ADHD Squirrel about something that we have been asked to complete, there’s no actual process for it, and it requires approval/confirmation from external examiners who don’t get a mention on the proforma we’re expected to use. She’s just told me she needs to ask someone else because she’s lost the plot. This is the third time I’ve asked for her input on something this week, and the third time she’s passed it on.
I need more tea.
!
could be mushroom? 
could be … 
WTF was that?
Albeit I knew you had seen a real mountain or two in your life…
