Monday, 21 and rain.

Welcome to the new October.

😢

That's °C so not below freezing, but still cold, and yet our cats still want to go outside into the enclosure.

I only found out about Malcolm and Archie Simpson, my ancestors, last year. From the Shetlands, to Perth, Western Australia, to die on the fields of France.

This is the first ANZAC Day I have a concrete connection to the Great War.

I'm sorry if you live in the US, air traffic control is truly awful by Elon's own admission.

Update: she's home. Two teeth will need removal. She doesn't appear to be holding a grudge.

Here's where I slept happily last night. Disappointed our younger cats who thought it was theirs.

Oh joy.

Those are in °C, people.

His name was Nacho. When we took him on as a foster, he wasn't desexed... and he didn't half penandink when he used the litter tray. After his trip to the vet, that all changed. He's off living life somewhere, now.

Yes, those are her two moods. Perfectly summed up.

At least she lets us pick her up, now.

Gypsy.

This is the symbol of a day spent in pure happiness.

Two of the three guitars I own, and I own one too many.

By that I mean you can own enough, you don't have to keep buying stuff. Right now, we need a new used car, because our 25 year old faithful steed is now showing it's age. But we own enough.
