Shogun has turned out to be a very chatty boy. Still amused by what a tiny voice this big cat has!

The only reason I got through the finale of #nobigneil bg3 playthrough without crying. My gorgeous rescue boy Shogun curled up next to me properly for the first time. ❤️
Hopefully he'll come around to being a lap cat.

Karolina approved!
@realgdt.bsky.social once again giving us a costume designer who takes accurate historical references and moulds it into a beautiful vision, that enhances and complements the story. @katehawleycostume.bsky.social is a genius.

Very glad my husband is picking me up from work. My brain is utter mush that has struggled even reading stuff today, and I've ended it by cutting my finger. Somehow managed to cut it on the back of my scissors 😑
Anyway, I finally found somewhere to hang our shiny glass nonsense.

This is the sort of costume detail I live for.
Maybe one day I'll manage to make something as beautiful.
elizabeth's gown being inspired by overlayed x-rays is such an insane detail to me

Witness how utterly handsome my Shogun is. I'm pretty sure he knows it too. #catsofbluesky

Went to Dundee to pick up our new car. Took the opportunity to go to the V&A. There's a rather good exhibit on Palestinian embroidery. Left my phone in the car, so no pictures 🙄
Also, we like the whale sculpture. It has whale sounds and interactive stuff for kids.

It's too early for a Saturday, but we have to get our undead car to Dundee and pick up the shiny new(ish) one.

Am I still giggling at this two days later... yes. But to be fair, these guys are wholesome as heck.

Today marks 25 years since I got together with my husband. He's a nutter.

What sort of dumbass would crochet rotten vegetables for a pair of nerds to throw at each other...
Oh that was me 😁

Well our car is officially too messed up to repair, so we're having a sudden trip to Dundee at the weekend to pick up a shiny newish one. It's a big ole pumpkin-mobile. Must buy ridiculous stickers to go on it! It's been ages since we had bats on our car.

Shogun has never shown interest in the telly before, but tonight's @devilligan.bsky.social community Phasmo stream fascinated him. Both the cats wanted my cheese.

Going to see the Chainsaw Man film with the older offspring today.
Hopefully it will keep the brain gremlins at bay.

The #bg3 adventures with my sister continued tonight. We have secured the owl bear!

We watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein last night. Everything about it was beautiful. I'm not very good with words, but I sketched this today.

Today we made hideous holes for the cats as they don't like the fireworks. My youngest offspring also doesn't like them, so we put on her comfort film from when she was tiny. We both love Singin' in the Rain.
