I do not make the best Yorkshire puddings but I do make some damn good ones

They are so happy

Two out of four cats have discovered that the heated blanket is now available

This wee baggage has been an absolute drama queen from sun up to sun down today and she couldn't be prouder of herself if she tried. I hope she sleeps as well as she's eaten and screamed all day. We might all get some better rest for it

Tristan is a master of the "that's the wrong food" stare, and will always argue that three treats are necessary

Portia and Tristan have teamed up today to prevent me from getting in my bed and ngl I'm a wee bit salty but on days like this they and the other greykins are the only things keeping me going

Tristan isn't really sure about the whole bedroom rearrangement thing yet so of course Portia is *loving* having the bed to herself most of the time

Tristan decided that today was the day to hop up on a freshly made bed and wipe his rear on it.. Pretty sure it was an objection to my burning incense, which he particularly dislikes. He is not sorry. Nonetheless he won't look at the camera.

The peaceful, contented side-eye of an elderly cat who is gaining weight again and thus had the enegy to spend several hours yelling at humans for all sorts of reasons today

Repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

I won't get many likes but why not.

1 like = 1 song

I interrupted Portia's lazy afternoon to clip her claws and now she's considering which houseplant to take her revenge on first

They've been keeping an eye on me all day, regularly asking for treats and reassurance, and they still look like they're trying to figure out the best way to conceal a body

My weekend plans, once I get through with the cleaning

There were a few brief years when she accepted that some of the house rules applied to her. Those days are gone.

Portia decided to let us sleep this morning but I made biscuits anyway

Tristan's pretty tolerant of most music but clearly he does not approve of Talking Heads

Jamie was out for the count most of the afternoon

My greybies have spent almost all of their 10 years under my roof. They know that the hoover will not kill them and come out within 5 minutes of me putting it away. The tv does not bother them. But if I close the doors to the study because I have an online meeting? They act like the world is ending

Portia knows Tristan is upset, could not care less if she tried (but why bother)

If you like a well-written and unusual vampire story, this is the book for you. I've been reading it in between bouts of house cleaning and it's magnificent

Tristan had a mystery meltdown yesterday, hiding behind a chair for 10 minutes and howling in fear. Got him to calm down, checked him over for illness and injury, couldn't figure out what the problem was. He's been a bit clingy this afternoon but he's definitely back to bellyrubs please mode
