Nottingham Light Night from Saturday. Ethereal inflatables.

Yesterday, I saw A Real Pain. It's a beautiful film. Go & see it if you can

On the way home, I saw this classic but of Nottingham traffic. A tram obstructed by a stretch Hummer.

A false spring Feb morning with hungry swans pecking at the bag of swan pellets for more. Oliver Twist swans.

Great Pilates class marred by another "immigrants are the cause of all our ills" idiot, so, I went on a cold, grey walk and fed the swans who were much better company.

These themes were so common on board, I created my own Boomer Bingo card to make suppers more fun. Migrants were the No1 topic (despite being served by migrants & many of their kids being economic migrants). Much ignorance on display.

Trying to focus today but Dolly has other ideas including a list of complaints about the food on offer. The perils of WFH.

Dolly has suffered the twin indignities of the cattery & a cold house but today she's playful

Here is my scrappy Boomer Bingo card, Cruise Edition. Two nights ago, I got "house" over supper.

Happy New Year from Lisbon's firework display.

Dolly gets festive. Better late than never.

Mr Fox says "Merry Christmas hic. Why are the chocolates hic so well wrapped on this hic tree?"

This morning, Dolly is purring & snuggling at the bottom of my wardrobe

Disturbed the cat, braved the cold and decorated Christmas cakes with a bestie

It's a cold, windy Sunday afternoon. The best time for a lap cat.

Love a pub that celebrates Christmas & Dame Edna Everage

Wintry walk with setting sun. Crisp, cold & clear.

Maintaining the lobster theme in my tree.
December 12, 2024 at 7:10 PM
I once decorated my Christmas cake like this?
December 10, 2024 at 4:29 PM
This is the look of a cat who's nicked popcorn, eaten it & is working out where to be sick.
December 8, 2024 at 7:15 PM
The tree is up with its traditional flock reindeer, random sprout & grey elephant. The lobster is new.

Today, I'm doing "Sip & Paint" at work. Do I dare to share the results?
December 4, 2024 at 8:18 AM
Yesterday, I managed to pour tea over my keyboard & today, it's being very selective about which bits of the alphabet it types. It's making work "interesting"

How have you hampered work this week?

This is my cat who lives like a Roman. The only carpet in the house is her personal vomitarium. She's supervising the clean up.

Think I've found out what happened to Ginger Spice...

Dolly is pretty & dim
