Beeeeees:
Seem to be a bit less this year though so far.
Beautiful. I had a little family of dragonflys follow me for a while on my walk ☺️
Beautiful photo
Meeting a new band tomorrow which is awesome! Beautiful day today which is perfect for a lunch at the lake near my house with mates.
Hope everyone has a great day ❤️
Why am I awake?
To prepare breakfast for the rest of us?
Too lazy sorry. I’ve been patiently waiting for cafe to open and I’m going there now
Isn’t it more work to dress and then walk or drive there?
Cooking would involve dressing and walking to shops anyway
Cooking without dressing provides extra entertainment for the peanut gallery
Found a cactus I got as a kid 30 yrs ago randomly in the old unused wood bbq. Never been fed / watered still kicking and looking ridiculous in that pot. Repotted it and that was always gonna hurt :( went straight through the gloves.
And anothery of the blossom (I’m obsessed by it I know). Nother week should be full tilt:
wrap cactuses in thick newspaper when you repot them
Ooh that’s a good idea. I was impressed how easily it went straight through those leather gloves.
Or a beach towel
Idea for Halloween costume (I don’t celebrate Halloween though):
- Get group of people
- Dress in all black, guitar optional
- Stand in line, stare at camera
- There’s your metal band
Instead of doing anything constructive I should be doing I spent the morning shopping online for embroidery cottons and some additions to make my thread stand more user friendly. I would like to know why, when I already own so many different colours of cotton, I always struggle to find the right colours for every new pattern I do?
Dog keeps peeing inside the house. Been going on for too long.
We’ve ruled out any medical conditions like a UTI, so it’s probably behavioural. He was doing it when no one is home, and even if he was fenced off in the laundry, he’d do it in there.
I’m here thinking it’s a separation anxiety thing. I went over to my aunt’s house who recently got a puppy. He peed in front of us. Maybe it’s a fear thing.
Either way, it’s driving my mum insane. We’ve done the whole take his water away thing, positive reinforcement for when he goes outside, yet he still has accidents. I don’t know if we can call them accidents anymore.
Yay to a potential vet trip :)
Seems like magpies are learning bad habits from humans.
Just watched one casually cross the road slowly
without any care for the world. Didn’t even fly away when I approached it in the car, simply brushed off the encounter when I had to drive around it.I’m constantly amazed that birds choose to walk off the road to avoid cars
Meds are late but the girl is hiding in one of her cubbies… she needs it soon but I don’t want to invade her safe place (or drag her out). I prepped the syringes ready to go and will wait a little bit to see if she emerges.
I think today is just going to be video games and cuddles.
That sounds like a perfect day.
I don’t think cuddles are on the cards now… she didn’t come out so I ended up having to stick my arms into her cardboard box cubby and give her both medicines by feel. Spilled part of it and made her extremely unhappy.
Poor fluffy baby 😢
Ah it’s okay, we gotta do what we gotta do for our furry family, even if they don’t understand why.
You waited until you couldn’t, and I think the way you did was as low stress as possible, you didn’t pull her out of her cubby.
You’re looking after her wonderfully, friend. She’ll forgive you for any spills 💜
ikr, melbs is the best pet friend ever 🥹
It was bad though. Maybe it would have been (slightly) better if I had pulled her out?
She had her back to the tiny entrance I was coming in through (and blocking) so was literally cornered and trapped. My fingers and the medicine syringe were probably going near her eyes because I had to do it by touch. She was freaking out.
I’ve patted her and apologised, explained how I had waited a while to try and avoid it but the longer she went without the worse she would have felt… but I knew it was traumatic and I’d try to avoid doing that again. She seems to have settled.
Hm idk I still think the way you did it was better than pulling her out, but also you know her better than I do, so maybe if shes in there again you can pull her out and see which reaction indicates less stress.
You are doing great, don’t doubt yourself. 💜
I would have lured her out with food but she was entrenched and hasn’t been big on wet food (and only mildly enthusiastic with treats)
That deep inaccessible cubby may have to be removed when she’s in hiding mode. (The more open ones can remain.)
What a beautiful day! Got the Minipeelers out for a walk and saw many cute dogs. When I explained my reasons and feelings about why we can’t get a dog right now they actually were very reasonable and accepted it 😅
so tired but if I keep at my work slowly I’ll at least get something done
dinner tonight will just be easy
Found my keys. They went through the washing machine
Have they got that extra shine to them now?
Soapy fresh
It’s a beautiful morning!
Debearding has commenced
Yum! Enjoy those mussels!
You know it chief 👊
I think I used up all my creativity yesterday, so I’ve been working on decluttering/sorting my sewing room instead. I think I have finally gotten all my cotton in one place and under control. I have far too many partly used reels, many of them multiples of the same colour. When you have a mess it is easier to just grab a new one for each project instead of finding the old one. I now have all of the partly used rolls in one box, roughly sorted by colour tone. I have also ordered some clips to stop the thread unravelling from the bobbins and reels to try and keep things a bit more orderly. Some of the rolls are getting a bit old, but nothing too antique - I sold all the ones on wooden reels a few years ago!
I also found some nice thick cardboard that I need for the covers of the book I am making - an old fabric covered storage box that I was going to throw out but didn’t because Miss Meow enjoyed jumping in it. The cardboard inside that gives it structure should be a perfect weight.
