Maybe of interest to no-one but just finished the structure for a new temporary shed to store stuff. Vastly superior to the previous one since I have some engineering knowledge now, this one could probably withstand a hurricane.

It's international cat day, so enjoy a picture of Darcy when she was just a little ballerina.

I wonder if this little potato remembers CatCam(tm) with Chet, Jett, Ash, and others...

Been clearing out a huge area of grass/weeds at the front of the house today when I heard squeaking at my feet. Looked down and saw these precious 3 babies just out in the open. No sign of their mother despite searching, so we'll have to wait until night to see if she makes an appearance.

With my car being out of service for a few weeks it's been a long time since I've been to see the strays. I finally went back today, and saw Missy! It made me so happy to see this little stray angel again, and I think she was happy to see me (or the food I brought).

Started changing the timing belt on my car about 3 weeks ago, and disaster struck when I stripped the head of the screw that needs to be removed to insert the TDC timing tool, resulting in me having to drill and tap a new thread... and the insert subsequently dropped a piece of metal in the engine.

What am I supposed to do when the most beautiful summer's day makes me feel so sad? I just don't know anymore.

Happy 10th birthday to the most precious little potato to grace my life with its existence, my little Darcy. ❤️

Fed this cutie today with the others. Missy is getting very large, probably just a few more weeks until the birth of the kittens who will almost certainly not survive. I'm pretty sure these cats all have FeLV, meaning I can't risk bringing any of them home.

Went to feed the cats again this afternoon, and encountered Missy, but sadly not her sister who has most probably died. She was very unwell when I last saw her. I wish I could do more for these babies.

Supper time for the strays. Didn't see Missy this time, but saw her sister and a couple of darling black kittens (young adults really).

After so long it seems like my emotional dysregulation has become manageable again. All it took was losing a community, my few friends, and the person who meant most to me.
