Moth checking in to say this is not the end... foolish humans, 'tis but the beginning...
Moth: a big grey tabby tom cat with a permanently confused expression.

"November dump" but it's just 1,327 photos of this exquisite beauty.
The world's most beautiful little black cat, crouching on a carpet that could do with a vaccuum. She is licking her chops and her sweet lil tongue looks weirdly huge. The very low angle makes my house look much bigger and somehow fancier than it really is.

A little old lady in a helmet, jacket and parachute (played by a backpack.) She has those glasses that make your eyes look huge.

Dress Rehearsal selfie #4 Karl The Book Fence. #TheBookClubPlay #YeppoonLittleTheatre
A prison inmate with a book up the sleeve of his t-shirt a la a packet of cigarettes in the 80s. He is cheerfully unhinged. Jovial, but will cut you.

Sam from Kmart: sleazy creep in a bow tie. If seen, DNI.

Jodes as a secret service agent (or a Temu Little Alex Horne) with black suit, white shirt, dark glasses, slicked back hair.

This is how we sophisticates dine these days.

(She's fine, was zoomie-ing an hour ago, just can't be bothered rousing herself from a nap to sit up while she eats.)
The world's most beautiful little black cat: front half upright, eating a dish of wet food, back half fully reclined on its side like she's sleeping.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

(Ouch, too close to home!)
Alex Horne from Taskmaster, looking serious and about to blow his whistle: me having a good mental health day. Jason Mantzouzik peering over Alex's shoulder like the Ghost Of Shenanigans Present: one minor inconvenience.

My cat is long and mismatched. What of it?
A computer monitor. On the right side, the head and shoulders of a magnificent standard issue tomcat are peeping round. On the left, an infeasible distance away, the haunches of a black and white cat stick out. It doesn't really look like one very long cat, but humour me pls it's been a hard week.

These things. :)
A set of 4 louvres: horizontal glass slats held in place by a metal frame on either side. It does not look very secure. Because it isn't.

I've lost the source alas because I nicked the picture a few years ago, but this is the most terrifying thing most Australians will ever see:
A person in all black, wearing a large printout of the email all Australians fear: "There is a new message in your myGov inbox. Regards, myGov team. Do not reply to this email."

The old "you wouldn't steal a car" piracy warning from the start of videos, edited to say "you wouldn't sink a Caribbean".

Also making news this hour, I'm in a play. First costume test tonight. Pic by @ian606.bsky.social
Jodes: a large lady-shaped blob, uncharacteristically dressed in a sparkly silk kaftan and head wrap. They're reading from an old hardcover book, looking Studious and Serious. In the background, a theatre set of a lounge room under construction. If you can see my singlet, no you can't.

After 10 at night and still feels over 30. Don't recommend it.
Screencap from the Bureau of Meteorology app: 10:15pm, Wandal, Qld. 27.1 degrees, feels like 30.2. Overnight min 24, Max tomorrow 37. Heatwave warning current.

Accidentally took some decent pictures of the kids.
Moth: beautiful big stripey tomcat. Looks confused and somewhat nearsighted. Scooter: black and white teenage tom kitten. Pretending to be sweet and innocent like he didn't try to eat my ankle this very morning. Cricket: the world's most beautiful and perfect little black angel girl. Ignore my disintegrating vinyl floor tile and the random shoe.

Moth is getting his Dracula on for Halloween practice.

(Yes my wall is moldy. I live in a leaky old house in fucking Queensland.)
Moth (standard stripey tomcat) bites the neck of Scooter (black and white tomcat) vampire-style. They are lying on a rug-covered storage box in the corner of my office, alongside a heap of cords and random shit.

Unsolicited bic pic.
A selection of biscuits: various shortbreads, jam drops, something with chocolate, and those gross coconut mounds.

Deep fried ice cream. With a cherry on top.

Since Amelia Earhart is making news again, just a reminder she and Guy Montgomery have never been seen in the same room. #BringOutYourConspiracyTheories
An old portrait of Amelia Earhart looking (I think) uncannily like Guy Montgomery.

My uber is (not) here.
A truck emblazoned with "on the road to success there are no shortcuts". It has crashed into a low bridge and is stuck, perhaps because it tried to take a shortcut.

Hell of a language situation on Worldle today.
Screencap from Worldle: what are the 2 most spoken languages in (redacted for spoiler). According to the game, the second language is spoken by 5.1% of residents. The first is spoken by 8910%.

The paper towels are banished to the highest point in the kitchen to prevent Scooter attack. So Scooter learned to fly, apparently.
An absolute turd of a black and white tom cat on top of a high kitchen cupboard. It's very close to the ceiling and supposedly very hard for a cat to jump/climb up there. From the front of the cabinet door hangs a mauled roll of paper towel.

Except my stripey shadow, of course, who is always within arms' reach if not actively trying to crawl into my lap.
The striped and spotted rear end of a large standard issue tomcat poking out from behind a monitor like a thick, furry carpet snake. My desk also features a Reject Shop porcelain bird, a chunk of rose quartz, a little figurine of Wonder Woman, and a stapler in a glass dish for some reason. The usual shit, really.

I wonder where the cats are??
A couch covered in a loose faux-velvet cover, which bulges ominously at the bottom as though two housecats were curled up inside it. Pardon my recycling pile in the background.
