suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Today I shall mostly be ... giving up on chasing after and trying to calm down a joyful whizz of a Cat who has been doing 150 mile per hour zoomies all around the house for the last half hour with absolutely no signs of slowing down so far ... and settling down instead with an extra large and extra strong mug of Kenyan Tea and seeing what might be worth watching on TV during the rest of the day ...

(*a tiny blur of grey and white fur hurtles in bedroom, leaps on bed, launches herself at windowsill, rests for several seconds frantically panting with ears flattened to head looking more like a demented Owl, then recklessly throws herself across the room at a chest of drawers, bounds with a single leap over to the dressing table, immediately shoots upwards to the top of the wardrobe, rests for just a few seconds, then abseils down curtain, attacks carpet with a full minute of manic raking, and then rockets out the door to go flying at full speed back down the stairs*) ...

Yep! Nothing at all to see here! ;o>
Just the usual slow and easy pace of a peaceful and restful Sunday morning! ;o> ;o> ;o>

Isabella | 1368 comments Hope you enjoyed your evening, Collette. I don’t get updates at all, now, so can only catch up the long way round. I’ve tried various things but nothing works. Annoying.

Whatever is she on, Suzy? I could do with some... 😉

Fine thanks, Collette, just a bit miffed at not getting notifications. Hope you're okay, too.

Sorry Isabella, I didn't realise you had responded because I also don't get any Goodreads notifications anymore ... x

Checking back through Pixie's daily diary (kept for reference in case of any episodes of illness) ... Pixie had just eaten half a pouch of Lamb & Duck in Jelly from a box of Whiskas Adult 1+ Duo Adult Meaty Combos sprinkled with a handful of Chicken flavoured IAMS Adult 1+ Complete Dry Cat Food ;o>

She had also just had a wee in her toilet tray and that usually triggers off an attack of the zoomies too ... we call it "pee-phoria" ... ;o>

Collette | 6186 comments Watched a cracking wee horror movie on Prime this afternoon called Kristy, followed by an episode of my gorgeous Supernatural boys. More Supernatural later, then some Heartbeat and a nice cold bottle of wine.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Today I shall mostly be ... marvelling at the cheeky bright red Bullfinches that have been sneakily enjoying flying into the Greenhouse to steal and eat our Tomatoes despite me putting out a wide range of different foods for them ... and at the two beautiful Parakeets that have invented a new game of perching high up in the Apple Tree and trying to make Apples drop directly into the Birdbath below.

What with having all the back gardens around here over-run with Squirrels this year, and having several of them working hard on their personal best in unripe Pear throwing techniques, I am just thankful that we are having a year of bumper crops of fruit and vegetables ... more than enough to satisfy everyone's appetites and unusual creative endeavours ;o>

Sounds like a real entertainment for you, Suzy! I managed to keep our blueberries this year by wrapping the bush in netting. There are plenty of blackberries to go round, though and the pigeons enjoy the laurel berries. I know this because their donations to the pathways are very dark blue. There's a birdbath on the back steps which the pigeons use. They lose a lot of water because they're so big and clumsy. Last week I bought damsons for jam and today the same greengrocer had greengages. Double joy!
Enjoy the show.

Collette | 6186 comments Oops. Didn't watch my gorgeous boys this weekend, but I did see a couple of good films on Prime...The Last Straw and The Intruder. Wine of choice was a white. Can't remember what kind. Just that it was 'A Nice Drop Of...'

Hi Isabella. Can't talk for anyone else, but my notifications seem to be working fine again (at the moment anyway).
