Life with cats, and other things…
By the dawn's early light Despite my gloomy post, yesterday, the day actually started quite nicely. For one thing I wasn't seeing double. Rejoicing this opportunity, Grant and I decided to go off for an early drive around the local countryside. Which was a lovely way to start the day. . . This was a … Continue reading Dawn’s light
Misty morning, 08 November 2020 For a while this afternoon I perused Facebook but, as I did last night, I finally fled the nastiness. Perhaps I'll stay permanently away. There are other ways to stay in touch with those who matter. When I heard, yesterday, that we had elected a new president, I rejoiced. At … Continue reading Not so rosy…
0722, O7 Novemeber, 2020 It goes without saying that I would not trade a single hair on any of my cat's bodies for the extra space or an additional piece of furniture. The inane poem which was my last post ended rather abruptly. There have been one or two things on my mind. Lately I've … Continue reading The sun still rises
Resorting to foolish poems as a distraction: Multi Cats How very empty my house would be If I didn’t have more cats than three. What would I do with the extra space, If all these cats didn’t share my place? Perhaps another chair would do, Instead of cat trees one and two. Perhaps another bed, … Continue reading Keeping busy while we wait
Blue. Blue. Blue. Keeping thinking blue. ---- The woe of Election Night Some new form of Chinese torture Ha. Chinese. That's appropriate. Waiting for the votes to mount Waiting for the final count. Whose name? Who won the game? My guts are bent My nerves are spent. All stretched out Like guitar strings TWANG! . … Continue reading Appalled
Grant rose indecently early this morning. He blamed the cats, but I think he just forgot to change his clock. It has made for a long morning during which I have tried (unsuccessfully) to keep at bay the pre-election anxiety which seems to permeate the very air I breathe. We live in extraordinary times. This … Continue reading Bottoms up!
As if on queue, as the sun broke the horizon, I heard the call of geese: It was rather a challenge, rotating my lens from the horizon to the sky above and attempting first to locate the flock and then get them in focus! . Meanwhile the House Sparrows continue to sit in the hedge, … Continue reading As the World turns…
So now, because I was chasing my blog around yesterday, I've ended up with an update I didn't especially want. Updates are always problematic for me. They always spell trouble. Maybe if I wasn't seeing double right now, I'd take a stab at all these new options. But life is challenging enough at the moment. … Continue reading All Hallowes Eve
This was my first view of the day this morning. Probably, I should have gone back to bed. Not because I don't love snow Even though it was a surprise My not-so-smartphone was still insisting that Cambridge was a balmy 65F and sunny. It would have been a fine Saturday. If not for the recently … Continue reading Chasing my blog
It's temporary, I am assured, but for the next month, while my cataract-free eyes adjust to their new "normal", I am obliged to see the world in double, or to go around with one eye closed. It's a little distracting. For reading, I can manage with a pair of drugstore glasses. At the computer, it's … Continue reading Visually impared
