OMG - Roxy would go bat-crap crazy over those! But I can’t do that to her mom - the walls would be covered, and the doors, and the windows, and Tobias…

We’re starting with 71 Ferrets and by Weds, we could be flirting with triple digits again. Or not. Weather is so unpredictable. Like we may or may not get rain today. My plans involve my sewing machine as well as a needle and thread. When we were at the boat yesterday, I realized the curtain I bought is 4" too long. I’ve already ripped out the old hem and today it will be cut off and re-hemmed. Plus I looked at one of the other curtains and figured out how the slides should be put on. I figure 2 or 3 hours of work there.

I’m also thinking I should make chickie salad, so I should pull a couple of frozen parts out to thaw. No thoughts yet beyond that. So there could be an adventure ahead. Or something on TV. Into the unknown!!!

Happy Sunday!!

Afternoon, mumpers! It’s currently 25c/77f with a predicted high of 27c/81f and sunny. Weather app says “If you’re hoping for fucking cute phrases like “life’s a beach”, this is not the fucking app for you.”

Have a great time just relaxing and doing whatever you feel like. You deserve a break, and your back will thank you for it.

JBats you are a good person and despite your own circumstances, you still did the right thing. We need more people like you in the world.

Mollie I’m sorry that you had to miss your meeting, but thank you for posting those pics. You look absolutely radiant! The hair looks fabulous too, and that smile says it all :slight_smile:

JtC you are also high on the list of Good People, I’m sure your friend and her critters were extremely grateful that you were on hand to help.

doggio it looks like your building might be in line to hit a couple more of those trees soon if you get some seriously high winds. I hope Spot got enough gin to calm his shattered nerves. How long before Onan comes knocking on the door demanding his tribute?

Yesterday was a busy one but stuff got done so it was productive. 'im indoors made Chinese chicken curry with egg-fried rice for dinner, we had some ice-cold Cava and watched a couple of films. The aircon unit kept the bedroom blissfully cool and I had a fairly decent sleep. I got up to feed the cats earlier, opened the windows to get some of the cool breeze through the house, and went back to bed where it was an ideal temperature for me.

Now I’m up and drinking tea while I get on with the important stuff. I’ve managed to find a new catsitter who has availability in August which means we can book a trip for ourselves. Looks like it’ll be the Eurostar over to Brussels, then a couple of days in Antwerp and a couple of days in Ghent before a relaxing train journey home.

That means I need to fill out paperwork for the new sitters, arrange for them to come here and meet us (while the cats play hide and seek), and give them spare keys. I’ll get the house keys and alarm fob back from our Kitty Angel next week so will hand that over to the new ones.

I have no big plans for today aside from tending to the needs of cats, trimming my nails, having a soak in a very cool bath, and making chicken curry for dinner. I have mushrooms and spinach to use up so that works well for a curry.

Well, you have revenge planned in advance if your daughter pisses you off.

Also, now I’m picturing Otis wandering around, covered in rainbow stickers.

And Trevor, their lab. And their cars. And slow-moving neighborhood kids…

:rofl:

Morning all. Have broken fast and think I’ll do some exploring, going up to Port Clinton as there are lighthouses and an animal park. May then ride a ferry(ferries) to some of the nearby islands, even if I don’t get off it should be scenic. Otherwise I will see what else there is to do.

I am still reading all (you go Mollie and enjoy your vacation Vango are all I can remember right now) and many thanks for the kind comments. Will be looking forward in about a week really corresponding with y’all again.

Good morning.

It’s 54F and mostly clear outside. Today is expected to be partly to mostly sunny, with a high of 77°F. It was only supposed to reach about 77°F yesterday, but we topped out at 80°F. The next few days will be progressively warmer, with temperatures climbing to a high of 87F by Wednesday.

Mollie, I like the hair! Lookin’ good!

VanGo, have a fantastic vacation! You’ve been working hard and need one!

Metal Mouse, I’m glad you’re checking in with us. It sounds like you’re mostly enjoying yourself, and that’s good.

JtC, you are a true friend! What you did for TC friend was very kind.

Doggio, I saw the pic of the tree/building collision. I hope something is done sooner rather than later.

BrightTree, I have to admit, the avocado/chocolate mousse thing intrigued me. I like avocado, and it doesn’t surprise me that it was good. I put chopped avocado in my tossed salads because I don’t use dressing. It adds a bit of creaminess.

I was pretty busy for the first part of the day yesterday, but I never did wash the walls in prep for painting. I put the cover plates for the light switch and outlet back on in the guest room, cleaned the kitchen and swept the floors (I actually sweep twice a day because…dogs), weeded, weed-whacked, mowed, watered posies, and assorted other chores. I guess today we’ll get started on the guest room, or at least prepare for it.

That’s about it for the plans today. Please take care of yourselves, and for those of you on the road, please be careful.
