Lol, that cat showbag I got yesterday had a pack of Hills Science Diet sachets, turkey and liver casserole. It's the first time I've seen Mickey eat it all - usually he licks up all the gravy and leaves some of the meat bits with the Dine sachets,, but nup, he ate up all of Hills.
I’m a learner gardener and have inadvertently bumped off more plants than I care to admit. Despite this, these orchids have been going strong for about 15 years, so thought I’d show them off
I slipped and fell last night right on my bum and today my tailbone / sacrum is definitely bruised. Good excuse for a lazy day but I can't help wondering at what ages does one go from "fell over" to "had a fall".... 🧓
I’m still struggling both physically and mentally. Forcing myself to do stuff is backfiring and causing a lot of stress. But the alternative is to just do nothing? Indefinitely?
I’ve inexpertly taken the soil samples and only just remembered - even if they come back safe I might not use the soil because there’s the cat poo to consider.
When I adopted Melbcat she was an outdoor girlie. While that was years ago and she’s now adjusted to being a litterbox enjoyer, I can’t promise the same for the visiting cats or possums.
Miserable Melbourne weather out west after a ripper 29C yesterday, guess it was to prepare me for coming back home. I'm still feeling anxious about uni and not being up to what's required of me - but the TLC at my aunties has been really great. I'm glad I'm not staying longer or I think I'd get to a point of indulged-in inertia that I won't be able to get out of in a hurry...
The free food market was small today but I managed to get enough to pull together meals for a few days. My most urgent need was tomatoes and fruit, which I did manage to get. Now I just need to do a proper menu plan for the next few days and I'm set.
Ha, that was funny - was cooking dinner and due to the cats deciding that they wanted food Right Now and me trying to cook, feed them and not trip on them simultaneously, I grabbed and used the 1/3 cup measure instead of the tablespoon one.
Turned out delicious, though, so no complaints in the end.
If I was to grow zucchini in pots would a tripod of Brunnings bamboo stakes be enough support? (The thin kind?) Or should I go for a thicker individual wooden stake for each, or a cheap wooden lattice?
I probably wouldn’t be letting the fruit get full size. More young tender zukes
Movies with the child. We read Runt a few months ago, not knowing it was being made into a movie, so now we're off to see it on the big screen. But damn, it's an expensive exercise.
