Looking forward to this, but I'm number 27 on the waitlist at the library, so it might be a while....
Dinner at the Night Library by Hika Harada.
In the meantime I'm still working through this book on film costume designer Edith Head.

Why are you making me cry again Dave?
This is George. 7.5kg of pure orange himbo. He was found on the side of a road at 3 weeks old with no sign of a mother. I handraised him and loved him, but he tolerated me and was a total daddy's boy.
I miss him every single day.

This just came up, it seems very timely and appropriate. I just can't decide if I want to read it or if it will make me explode with rage.

I don't even remember learning to read, although I remember starting school at 4 and most of the other kids learning their ABCs and reading the cat sat on the mat, while I sat in the corner by myself and read Jennifer Yellowhat and similar books.

I usually have a couple of things happening. The latest is this "quick and dirty" project I get sewed super fast just so I could finish it.
This is a couple of scarves sewn together to make long sleeves and a face/ neck cover to put over a tshirt and protect me from the sun on hot sunny days.

And for the #plundercats - I swear every time I go vintage shopping ROD is playing on the radio. Short video to prove it. No I did not buy the kitten plate.

Today's score at the charity / thrift shop. Large canvas to go on the wall in my sewing room. It's a bit random but I like some of the dresses on there.

Since I was late to class I stayed on to work afterwards (honestly, flashbacks 😬) and had a go at this move too. I feel like I'm sort of lacking something.

Yesterday was absolutely insane. Usually I would consider 7 jobs a big day. Yesterday I had an early walk with the pups, did 11 jobs, and drove into town with Boops for her vet check. When the 12th job came in at 4.50pm I decided it could wait until Monday.

Started on my holiday and then got rudely interrupted by having to come home and do work. Looking forward to finishing it this weekend.

Quiet day catching up today.
And it's the pups favourite day - chopping a whole dog roll into little baggies for freezing to take on walks later. Usually they are lucky and I drop some off the side during the process.
And a foursies feetsies pic with bonus tail curl for the Boops fans.

Absolutely no need for your human to help Lola, but just in case she is interested...
He climbed over the stack of remaining firewood and onto the top of the water tank. From there he could drop down into the back garden.
When we finally build the woodshed he won't be able to do that.

Oh no. I hope they've managed to give you some good drugs since you posted this.
Please have a Boops. I was trying to record her purring but for some reason the microphone didn't pick it up, so you'll just have to imagine that part.

Yay, that's amazing!! We are a bigger gang than I thought - I was expecting maybe 30 or 40.
Also look at what finally arrived here yesterday (after a slight delay at the delivery address). I think it will go in my office with my Flanoy magnet. 🧡
