What noise?

0728/4th February 2023 "Ooooh Missus. It's sooooo coooollld out here!" Poor Baby Red did not look happy yesterday! Which is admittedly, a rather foolish statement because squirrels don't think like people. But animals do have an awareness of being cold. Just ask any one of the cats that would not go near the front door. … Continue reading What noise? →

I’m coming!

3rd February 2023 A change of scene seemed like a good idea yesterday, so when Grant announced that the car must be washed I grabbed a coat and told Willow: "I'll be right back!" "I've been told that before!" . The world looks different in frigid cold. Is it just the clear sky and intense … Continue reading I’m coming! →

Seeing it.

1340/2nd February 2023 Before venturing out this morning, I consulted my phone which informed me that a balmy -25 C/-13 F would waken my senses on the other side of the door. Time for the sheepskin coat and even a woolly hat. A brisk wind was re-distributing a dusting of snow and howling through the … Continue reading Seeing it. →

Borderline

0707/2nd February 2023 Dumping ice out of the water bowls this morning, I sent a mental message down the groundhog hole: "If I was you mate, I'd stay put!" Whoever thought groundhogs would want to emerge from hibernation on the 2nd of February? Of course they don't! A few of the poor creatures get dragged … Continue reading Borderline →

Fierce friends

1035/31st January 2023 The weather bureau referred to it as "flurries" but briefly it had more the appearance of a blizzard. Not that our feathered friends were daunted. If you don't like birds, today's post is probably not for you! A flock ( or two?) of Starlings are hanging out with us lately, providing endless … Continue reading Fierce friends →

So very nice

26th January 2023 A few days ago I decided that Toby's fine coat would really look better on a black and white background, so I exchanged his blanket for one I purchased months ago at a nearby Big Lots. It's one of those super-soft creations that feels so lovely. It was so nice in fact, … Continue reading So very nice →

In the frame

0658/29th January 2023 It was with decidedly less enthusiasm than normal that I struggled to the upright position this morning: "Oh you cats!" I moaned for the umpteenth time. Not that I would change anything, ever, but at times cats can really try a person's patience. Mostly when you are at a low ebb. "I … Continue reading In the frame →

Domestic chores

0708/27th January 2023 Of all domestic chores, which do you most dislike? Vacuuming. Can't stand it. The noise. Having to move furniture and having to lug the contraption around. Cleaning it. Persuading it to work! But it's not something my spine allows anymore, so I don't try. I have a Dyson hand-vacuum for small jobs … Continue reading Domestic chores →

Becoming human

25th January 2023 Two minutes down the road from the clinic yesterday, I had actually remembered to turn my phone ringer back on and it promptly advised of an inbound call. It was the clinic. What had I neglected to do? It was one of the nurses, calling to check up on my procedure, which … Continue reading Becoming human →

In search of birthday cake

0711/25th January 2023 Awake long before I needed to be, I turned off the alarm on my iPhone in approximately 6 ways, but it was delighted to inform me at 6 am that no, I hadn't done it properly. How is it that what you can set in motion with one simple step, requires so … Continue reading In search of birthday cake →
