    Whenever one of us is eating, little dog makes it a point to show us he’s a good boy by sitting inches from you with some very intense staring. He even does it if I’m putting lip balm on or hand cream.

    Party two doors down and over the back fence. Two bouzoukis and a mandolin are having it out live and kicking, and the guests are cheering them on. Who needs recorded music???
    I’m really enjoying it.

        I’m absolutely feeling like trash today too. Physically and mentally. Pretty sure whatever I was recovering from has come back to hit me full on.

            Yeah I would like something light and funny but my left eyeball absolutely hurts despite having a nap and drinking plenty and not doing much. Thank goodness I have a fair bit of premade food to eat. Day feels totally wasted.

              Possible you have a cyst on your eyelid?

              Getting some good sleep can really help it go away.

              Oh yeah, having pre-made stuff certainly helps when you’re feeling down and aren’t up to cooking for sure.

          The best and worst part about electric blankets is you don’t have to do anything to make them stay warm. Great because I don’t want to be anywhere except warmth when it’s 10 outside and 12 inside, but bad because it makes it impossible to get out of bed!

    I’d hate football a hell of a lot less if it wasn’t for there being 95 gambling ads per minute on every form of media capable of displaying ads, and how obnoxious drunk footgoers are. I don’t go out anywhere on footy nights because I don’t want to be subjected to the musings of the 975 football people, half of whom are sulking a trying to start brawls with the other half, which are cheering and gloating, and all of whom had about 12 drinks too many

    Went to the footy today with my daughter. On the way out had to stop at the gent’s. some young lads were kind of trying to chat her up whilst I was absent, nothing rude or lewd.

    The looks on their faces when she said ‘Hey dad’ and I stood there towering over them.

    Kind of feel bad for their egos, but watching them scurry away was pretty comical.

    I gave Ted Cat a small serve of prawn pate in a bowl , the bowl being placed on top of his new harness on the floor. This is to train him and was not his dinner.

    Now Bill is yelling at me, telling me his dinner of fresh beef mince meant for cats is not good enough.

    They are now both asleep under the heater after a busy day of sleeping under the heater or yelling.

    Spoiled.

    Oven just went ping. Biscuits are done.

    Might have one now while they’re hot, and the others can cool for the tin

      I want to own enough cookie trays that cooling between batches isn’t a thing. I also don’t want to own 38 baking trays…

        You only need 4. 1 for each shelf. Take 2 out, put 2 trays in. While baking, transfer hot biscuits to wire cooling rack. Load up new trays. Endless biscuits

    Oh dear… last night I pulled a (very light, empty) chest of drawers out of the wardrobe so I could vacuum inside the wardrobe and spray Frontline inside the fabric drawers. I put it by the window and lay a small bookcase on its side next to it.

    I thought Melbcat could use the bookcase as steps to get up on the low wide chest and lie there in the sun. It’s wider and more comfortable than the sill. But she’s just doing traumatized little howls because I’m cleaning and have moved things.
