Just made a meatloaf for dinner. I'm a traditionalist and put boiled eggs down the centre. Ages ago, on a whim, I bought an egg pricker in a $2 shop. Used it for the first time today and I've never deshelled a boiled egg easier in my life! Game changer, get one!

Spent the morning having a great time with Bonnie Pink. Got to admit to being a bit obsessed with some Jpop since I lived there for a couple of years. Bonnie sings in both Japanese and English, love this choon! youtu.be/qe5pN-xMnPo

Changed the water over from rainwater tank to mains (chlorinated river water) yesterday to do loads of washing and the car. Swapped it back but didn't flush the pipes. Just filled and boiled the kettle, kitchen now smells like a fetid swamp, disgusting!

The Pussy Enigma
An occasional series
My cats get biccies in two identical gravity feeders that hold about 2Kg of kibble each. They're side by side. The left one is always emptied first. Being cunning I swapped them around. Low and behold what had been left and is now right was emptied first.

Been scrolling through the Grammy award nominations for 2025/6. Is it telling that I haven't heard of 99% of the nominees nor heard one choon from any of them and by the looks of it have absolutely no desire to change that?

Been up for a few hours. Made a second coffee so now I'm doing pussy tetris to get all four settled on my knee again. Harry has to be closest and touching skin, he doesn't make it easy!

Made the mistake of buying some 'Seafood Delight' biccies instead of 'Meaty Bites' for the cats, just opened it and they're not happy! Lots of turned up noses and scratching the floor. Well children, its a 10Kg bag so suck it up or go on a diet. Gratitude, honestly!7
