I decided I didn’t have enough cat pictures, so I went upstairs and got this one of October being adorable. And about 10 others, but ANYWAYS. *laughs* One cannot have enough cat pictures — otherwise the internet would break. Or something. Not a lot going on today. Mainly the whole yay, it’s Friday, we survived another week vibe. I’ve felt… Read more »

I had temporarily placed a box on the couch to be broken down… so of course, it immediately gained a much too large occupant. He was a good sport and let me take several pictures of him being entirely too handsome for his own good. Other cat news… we have the babies booked in for neutering next month. We knew… Read more »

I had to pin down all the cats yesterday to give them medication. The big boys are pretty resigned about the whole process now, which is great. October is very very gashingly unhappy about it, and Halo… isn’t pleased, but he doesn’t try to murder me. Having said that, all cats love being wrapped up in the towel after the… Read more »

First sock of the pair is done and fit-tested — all good! I’ve cast off on the second one, but am mainly noodling around in No Man’s Sky because I’m feeling mainly human today. After the past week, not having to take pain meds to stay vaguely upright has been really effin’ nice. I’ll do like last night and take something… Read more »

Z and I are currently watching through Dark Angel… I’m in near physical pain from late 90s/early 00s slang used in ‘2020’. I’ve also had to English to English some of the slang, because it wasn’t part of British vernacular. Still, figured this was a good enough line for having Vivi chilling in my lap yesterday. He’s developing a lot of… Read more »

I found this on Z’s camera roll and couldn’t resist. Everything about it is excellent. Like, I really appreciate candid shots that look almost intentional… this oddly ticks that box for me. Not a lot going on. Have friends over, so socialising, crafting, gaming — the usual introvert-style party. 🙂 <3

Z spotted Vivi going up the side of my chair, but never making it to the top. That is, of course, until he realised that Vivi had gone under my cardi. So I had a handful of amusing pictures to pick from of him in his ‘clever’ hiding place. Bonus mildly concerned kitten watching, there in the chair. Not a… Read more »

The sock pattern I’m currently doing is by a German designer. Which means, of course, including a weird-ass heel that I’ve never done before. It’s the Jo-Jo/Yo-Yo, which… so far, so good? I’m almost to the point where I turn the heel, and I thiiiink I’ve got the idea in mind. It’s pretty clever if it works. I mean, it… Read more »

I looked over earlier, and spotted one of the kittens sleeping with this leg up position weirdness. I couldn’t tell which one without risking waking them up, but at least I was able to get photographic evidence. So tiny, so cute. Been a pretty non-day, but not in a bad way. We did a family trip to Tesco to pick… Read more »

I caught up with where I was pre-frog today, which is pleasing. Right now I’m trying to get my head around the heel that the pattern calls for, which is the jo-jo/yo-yo heel. I might just do a normal heel, I don’t know. I think I’ve found a couple of places that attempt to explain it, so it’s just a… Read more »
