Marg offered me a "Nosing glass" and a small bottle of Glenfiddich for Christmas and tonight I followed the nosing process to see what it entails. It was interesting, and I have another scotch I'll be trying it with.
The nosing glass (a small tulip-dgaped glass) next to a small bottle of Glenfiddich scotch The nosing glass with 1oz of scotch The nosing glass with an added 2oz of room temp water, covered by the "watch" glass, a circular, slightly convex piece of glass. It will stay like that for 5-10mins

Herc is currently trying to convince me that he has never been fed in his life even though I fed him less than an hour ago

Travelling home always feels impossibly long...until I actually get home and then it's like "Whoa, how did I get here?"

Reading Kelly a bedtime story
Kelly loafs on the back of my reading chair, looking at me intently as I read. It looks like I am reading to her.

I had a pleasantly productive Saturday and am now ready for some rest. I'm hoping tomorrow will also be productive 😴

I don't think Herc likes going to the vet's 🫠 He had his dental recheck today and his teeth were already dirty after two weeks. We're going back to brushing daily, but even then he might need yearly dental cleanings 🙃

Herc tried real hard to convince me to stay home with him this morning
Herc huddled into himself on a step, looking forlorn, having dragged his favourite toy next to him so I would play with him

After a week of 30°C plus temps, I was looking forward to having the windows open, but of course this happened:
