It was a grim weekend and today is in many ways not a lot better.

So as a distraction here is Ollie the Cat looking grumpy because he always considers that he has not yet been fed enough. Those eyes.

Does he look thin? No he does not!

I hope everyone is having a good Monday. 🙂

On the day he arrived we had cleared a space for him in the kitchen so that he had his own space to settle in quietly. He had been living wild before the shelter took him in so we thought that would be important. But pretty much the first thing he did was plonk himself on my desk to stop me working!

I get this. Options to sign up but no access to the article, the 'Start reading' is greyed out as you can see.

Our rescue cat Ollie has a variety of lovely sleeping places - a sunny window sill, various sofas, a nice fabric footstool, a bed, and so on.

So where is he sleeping? Yup - on top of two scratching boards.

You have to love cats.

When you visit Temu and inadvertantly leave your email address there this is what happens.

I've never purchased from them but they seem keen on getting orders from me. From the comments I see some of their stuff is OK, some is quite deplorable, and some is just plain average. Lottery purchasing!

While loafing around online this morning I stumbled across this recipe, now all I can think about is berry cheesecake.

Is this cake healthy? We've been trying to convince ourselves that the berries and oatmeal will counterbalance the cream cheese and sugar. We've not convinced ourselves yet.

From book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. From Shadow in the Wind. “Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.”
