If anyone would like to know how my morning is going.
A cup of tea about to be put into a microwave, inside of which is another cup of tea from yesterday.

Adopted these two magnificent herberts.

Oh no. I appear to have lost Rio. Wherever could he be.

We did it! We finally adopted two cats. Noodle (tabby, 8) and Rio (black, 5). And I love them with all my atoms.
Two cats, one black and one brown tabby. The tabby is looking up while the black cat has just put his butt in the tabby’s face and is now attempting a full body rub against him.

Thank you! I was lucky enough to take this one from the car and with my proper camera when we pulled into the driveway yesterday 😍 he doesn’t think much of the drizzle 😂

I’m still buzzing after seeing fledgling owls on our shed here in south west Scotland last night 💙
A fledgling owl flying from a wall onto a shed. A fledgling owl and its mum nestling together in a conifer tree. A fledgling owl standing on a shed roof, contemplating how to get back into the owl box. A small fledgling owl standing on a dry stone wall, looking slightly disheveled.

I draw things, mostly animals. This is a favourite of mine. This bad boy is drawn with pastels on velour paper, and just wants folks to be happy.
