Dog & cat owning nana. 🐩 🐈‍⬛

🐦 refugee, of course (was charleyfarley).
Slightly overwhelmed at starting over again

- goodness me; I wrote that a year ago! 😳 Didn’t realise I’d been here that long

Post something random, or you’ll have an awful December

Morning CiF, ORCs ☕️
I was another with poor sleep last night. Pah! But there’s nothing in the diary for today, the outside temperature has risen considerably, so I’ll relax and get through it
Pics from y’day’s walk in Wareham Forest- such a lovely day, crisp and bright with a little heat in the sun

Morning M, morning ORCs ☕️☕️
The planets must have been badly aligned last night - I have to raise my hand in answer to the question “Who slept badly?” No reason why - good walk & lovely fresh air yesterday, and nothing obvious on my mind 🤷‍♀️
A blank diary & decent weather to enjoy today.

Will only need to change the names on this one then?

(I wonder what that bloke is doing now?🙄)

Congratulations!
Stanley (MC x Ragdoll) is happy for you
Hope the wound heals and the cone comes off soon

Morning Rob, morning all ☕️
The last chilly morning, for the time being. Our local TV weatherman seems to be anticipating another blast of cold weather before Xmas
Had a lovely trip to the coast yesterday, and lunch at a fish restaurant that’s just won an award.
Stay cosy - rain returns tomorrow🙄

You shall have shiny balloons then!

It was mussels (which I tucked into without pausing to photograph - delicious, very simple broth, no wine that I could discern, no cream), tagliatelle with “fish trim” - sea bream, monkfish, turbot, and the inevitable gorgeous tiramisu + espresso
OH had caprese, lasagne and tiramisu
Burrrp! 😋

Tiny fungi?
November 13, 2025 at 7:41 AM
There - I think there’s only me, and this roll call, so here goes

Morning everyone ☕️. It’s Thursday, in what feels like a very slow week. Post holiday ennui I suspect.
Nothing of note on the agenda, though I think some 🎄 stuff might be tied up
I spotted these tiny, tiny fungi - aren’t they sweet?

A-W- is this your new minesweeper? Sorry it’s not a great pic. It wasn’t terribly far from us, but difficult to get a decent pic as we were shooting straight into the sun. There was another minesweeper (with a lower number, so I deduced it was older?) and a frigate

All happy
This one is a bit amazed to return home to find our first Xmas card 😳
It’s from Sri Lanka, so I guess it was sent in good time
So - dog content and sleepy; cat wandering around mewing, but purry when cuddled.

It really was
It’s having a refurb, so hopefully has another 100+ years life ahead of it
Here’s the info plaque

Good Morning Jay, morning ORCs ☕️
Sunshine here, cruising gently in the North Sea
Lovely day yesterday, exploring Hamburg. We found the lovely Alten ElbeTunnel, which took us from the port, under the river, and to a brewery!
6 miles walked - today will be a lazy one, though still a few steps on deck
November 6, 2025 at 7:06 AM
I think these cruisers are being refitted in the Meyer shipyard, Hamburg
That was our view once we had walked from our berth to the old Elbe tunnel and crossed beneath the river. Fascinating. Started 1901, complete 1911. Old lifts for pedestrians & cyclists only. All tiled, like the tube

Does he work for Scala? If he does we saw him/his colleagues fixing ?air handling kit? whilst we were having our breakfast! 😳
Small world, isn’t it?

Here’s the view through our window - excuse “through the window” drops/smears
I love watching the river traffic

Here’s Stanley (nearly) on a lap mat

Still gusty here this morning

Have a lovely day

Morning Kate, morning ORSs ☕️
Looks like quite a nice day out there. We were lucky with our walk yesterday - enjoyed by all.
Today I will bathe and clip/trim the dog, then get my own hair cut. Then it’s pretty much Holiday Here We Come for Saturday morning.
Hope all have a good day
October 30, 2025 at 6:54 AM
The walk was very successful
No rain
No unavoidably mud
Lots of chat
Little bit of cardio workout up those slopes!
