Given the weather lately, it is no surprise that my charge is spending almost all her time outside in a deeply shaded corner of her garden. But she still comes in for food and fusses. #catsitterlife

Got my cat sitter hat on this week - and Tammy when she wants a cuddle is a cat sitter's delight. #catsitterlife

8 years on from this photo and I am pretty sure @modparlphotos.bsky.social still has that same camera bag. Or maybe I have it. In any case - both the bag and the photographer continue to do their thing

I note with interest that today is Escargot Day. It's also Tiara Day. While I certainly deserve one & could no doubt pull it off, they're not as good at delivering garlic and butter as snails so I'm less interested in them.
Tomorrow is Wine Day & Tap Dance Day. Please tap responsibly.

He and his sister Ruffles are the newest but they came to us in June last year. He is the only boy - outnumbered by Millie, Smoosh and Ruffles.

Ya know, 'Wear Your Pyjamas To Work Day' just isn't what it used to be. Now it's just Monday. And Wednesday. And any day I've put off laundry just one day too long.

At last, I can share the project I've been working on: VisitEngland's Regenerative Tourism Guide!
It was a pleasure to work with author Sarah Duncan on this & it could not have been done without the help of many teams across the organisation. Well done to all.

It is only 10:30am and therefore too early to celebrate the fact that it is Cocktail Day.
But it is also Chocolate Covered Raisin Day if that appeals.
It'll do until the bar bell rings.

A sure sign of spring. Back door propped open, sheers drawn to keep out bumbles and Millie considering the nature of existence by being neither in nor out.

Happy Pound Cake Day! It's also Grammar Day but I was peckish. More March days FYI:
Mar 8: Proofreading Day. Grab a red pen!
Mar 11: Middle Name Pride Day. Don't have one myself...
Mar: 31 is International Hug a Medievalists Day. Which I may or may have done on the wrong day at the MLA one year.

Today is Banana Cream Pie Day. Always reminds me of a hometown fave dessert destination: House of Pies.
There aren't many things I miss about Houston, if I am honest. But this is one of them. The kitsch factor was almost as high as the topping on each pie. And it was open, SEEMINGLY, all the time.
