Life with cats, and other things…
1851/19th October 2021 The above photograph was taken using my new Celero 5G phone. Never heard of it? Neither has anyone else, it seems. It arrived on Sunday and I spent most of Monday contemplating it, reluctant to take the plunge. When I did, the stumbling block I came upon was not one I would … Continue reading Ahead of the game?
0740/17th October 2021 This was yesterday. I'm still on a time lag and today I am officially procrastinating because, guess what.... My new telephone arrived yesterday (yes on a Sunday, they really didn't need to rush on my account). It's been sitting on my desk where I have been observing it with suspicion. . It's … Continue reading Daisy
0725/16th October 2021 Rain held off this morning just long enough for me to attend to my sickly lilac bush, that may now give up the ghost completely, or hopefully recover next Spring from its awful trauma of 2019. It might have been a good idea to look up some information before blundering out with … Continue reading The end?
0705/15th October 2021 At the rate I'm going, I shall never catch up. Most mornings I race about, taking more photographs which I then take an age to download and edit. That's after I've read through all the blogs I follow. Today I also made a diversion into online searching for shoes aimed at neuropathic … Continue reading Versatile !
1820/14th October 2021 At the end of a thoroughly gloomy day, suddenly distant clouds caught the setting sun and came alight, very briefly. Though the heavy overcast persisted. All day I'd been hearing geese calling as they passed overhead, hidden by heavy cloud. Just as night was falling I heard them again and there they … Continue reading Futzed up…
Around 5 pm yesterday, the sun suddenly broke through, bathing all in golden light At 7 am, trees materialized at the bottom of the lower field as if behind a scrim, while beyond the valley was once more cloaked in a thick curtain of fog. A weather alert on my not-so-smart and soon-to-be-replaced phone caused … Continue reading Bad advice?
Salvia, of sorts and anonymous flying insect Look who showed up today, hiding in one of my photographs. Mr. Green. He's been busy, inviting his friends to enjoy my fantastic wildflower garden: Poppies are a special hit But daisies are acceptable as well: Poppy petals reminded me of a flared skirt There's something very appealing … Continue reading Return of Mr. Green
0700/12th October 2021 It would have been a pretty sunrise this morning but the fog/mist still lingers, day after day. Soon, instead of dew it will be frost and the world will have a different look. The only problem I have with frost is that it makes manipulating the camera a bit awkward. As far … Continue reading Nature in charge
1820/8th October 2021 0707/9th October 2021 . Bang! Crash! Wallop! When a solid, 6'4 dude crashes to the floor, it makes quite a racket. Scared the life out of me. I had gone downstairs to see something on Grant's PC and as I exited the room, in front of him, Tinkerbell suddenly got underfoot. Evading … Continue reading Handling things
1755/8th October 2021 Having fed the little darlings last night, I gazed out the window while getting my own supper and asked "where are our dear deer?" Often we don't see them for days on end. But we always look for them. Grant had his back to the window and I was opposite as we … Continue reading Rodenticide
