Life with cats, and other things…
19th June 2022 "Here's one of those wormy things!" exclaimed Grant. "You can't call them worms!" "Wormy, caterpillary things." "Whatever!" This morning's count was six. In the interest of preserving sanity, I really must limit counting to maybe twice a day and at prescribed times. Perhaps I could issue them with minute id tags. "Lady, … Continue reading What we do..
0734/23rd February, 2022 This view did not inspire rushing outside this morning, so we lingered over breakfast, beginning our day watching Eddie Izzard skits on Grant's phone.
