!!!Just a philosophical comment - please remove if inappropriate!!! Are cats ever bored? I don't think my cats are ever bored. They look tired, particularly after an energetic game with a catnip toy; they can stare for hours just waiting for an insect to reappear or stand at the front door...

My little ballerina kicking up her back leg. Yes, I've already started rereading "The Book Thief". I'll be away from home in July But will try to get my comments prepared early and find a away of posting them at the right time. It's a sad but still a heartwarming tale, told from an unusual...

Hallo everybody! I wish I could dictate my question today because there was a little misunderstanding beween my darling little Katy (ex-feral) and myself. She is now trying to get onto my lap and purring but both my hands are still bleeding, throbbing and I'm typing, while balancing plastic...

I'd forgotten about the alcohol and cigarettes, and South Pacific almost continuously playing in the background adding to the rather depressing atmosphere. No need to read it again @verna davies there are other books out there!

On the positive side, this book was easy to read - i didn't throw it aside in disgust - too often! At the time this story took place, aids was a killer and associated with abhorrence, guilt and disdain for the sufferers. Although aids is not the subject here, its effect on the family of a...

Good morning everybody! Looking out onto my terrace, I see an assortment of garden flowers and wild flowers, commonly called weeds. At least here in Germany we are being educated about the added value of wild flowers, particularly with regards to the declining number of insects and birds...

I am considering only having routine bloodwork done once a year for all my senior cats but will use a mobile vet. Of course, if anything changes healthwise and the vet recommends it, any cat will be treated individually. Two of my 3 senior cats (12 and 16 years old) have received diagnoses for...

Kittens are babies and I'm sure you've noticed how human babies get really excited about washing on a line blowing in the wind, trees against a blue sky, colorful balloons etc. A few years later these simple things are taken for granted, the baby grows up and becomes less excitable and settles...

Good morning and happy Sunday! It's another very hot morning here in Germany. Earlier today, I sat on the terrace with a pot of tea and magazine until the sun drove me back indoors. Wild birds are still hopping about and don't seem to notice how hot the flagstones are. Their water must be...

Back to knitting? I've been spending a lot of time visiting elderly patients and knitting while they slept. I started many projects doing the easy, straight pieces, but hospitals and care-homes are not ideal when you need to measure, calculate, finish the second sock or sew up knitted articles...

:grouphug: Good Morning! It's going to be another hot, sunny day so I've slipped into a sundress and will take myself outside to do some more weeding before reading a book or knitting in the shade. Grass mites will not appear for another few weeks so I'm going to try to improve my skin colour...

Parrot Parakeet

I was looking at the blood test results when the head of our local shelter looked over my shoulder and took in a sharp intake of breath. She thought it was one of our cats with "no red blood" as she put it. Although we try to save as many cats as possible, she would have not hesitated to have...

Zoo Okapi

Book ("First Person Singular" by Haruki Murakami, short stories, highly recommendable)

It's an easy read. I didn't make notes but the story is so different from anything else I've been reading lately that it will be hard to forget.

Many times over the past 40 years! The first were sport-related: I'm a slightly-built woman who played a lot of tennis and squash. The raquets were wooden and heavy and at about 40 years of age I started feeling the effects of wear and tear in my right shoulder and knee, and additional back...

I won't be around too long so it would probably be best to put my name in them and add a comment stating that the book is no longer politically correct. There are always people on the look out for books which support their own warped ideas on white supremacy, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia...
