I won't disclose how long I sat, watching & waiting to capture this video but I am going to tell you, the actual speed of the transformation took 8 minutes. In order to share this with you, I sped up the video 8 times.
I present to you, the transformation of a varied eggfly caterpillar to chrysalis🦋

I'm not sure how I managed to sleep in till after 8 am, given I have 4 cats who are used to breakfast being served at 6.30 am sharp😶 Judging by Ruby's reaction, I feel I'm going to have to watch my back for a while 😝
Happy #Caturday #ValentinesDay

Replaying the drivel that got LNP to where they are now.
It’s true we need an effective opposition to hold Labor accountable. But this ain’t it.

Damn. Just got sidelined by a very old memory.
I'd finally finished putting the wax on for the Batik lesson at school. I was so happy that I got it perfectly smooth. The teacher looked & said:" Ok, now you scrunch it" & SCRUNCHED my wax drawing. I remember throwing it out & never doing batik again.

Most times the poor little caterpillars don't survive the first molt 😔💔 This one didn't make it. The other one, hatched on the same day, is going strong. Becoming a butterfly is difficult enough, even without people poisoning the caterpillars on their precious citrus trees 🥺

More evidence he is NEVER leaving office & has NO Intention of giving up leadership. He's banning mail in ballots so his ICE goons can pull people out of the voting lines & vanish them. He's counting on fear & confusion to keep him in the white house forever. 😔
A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.
Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

finding it odd that "Internal server errors" just "happen to pop up" when I've vented something political 🤔 (not really though. It's almost expected these days)

It's dark & raining 🥰 Went outside & it's hot & muggy 😝
At least it's dark 💜
ABC showed Whitney Huston's, I will always love you.
I'm watching, TV mute, subtitles on, laughing. When she sings the chorus, it looks like she's shouting. The subtitles added to the visual humour with all cap 🤣

Loki, late last night 🥰 The sweet wee thing fell asleep on my stomach, WAY after my usual bedtime. I finally managed to go to bed after 11:30 pm, when he woke & had a run of the, post sleep, zoomies 🤭

It's been hot & sunny all day. I'm sweating more than I drink. Forgot the washing in the machine, hung it out & as I walked inside, the clouds closed in & the sun is gone 🤦 Now the radio is warning of rising river levels & flash flooding later tonight?
If it was my washing, I'm so sorry 😬
