Made some chicken soup, ate a bit. It was nice. Almost recovered from Omicron.... please go away headache!
Cooked early because it's supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow, which may knock out our power. Got everything done early, then listened to my current audio book, The Outsider, by Stephen King.
rent. somebody got shot yesterday. nothing to do with me. made the local news though. around the other side of the other part of the complex. still too early for anyone around to write me a receipt. suns pretty. temperature supposed to get up to a balmy 53f sometime today. warmest its been for a couple of weeks.
I sliced and stoned a punnet of plums, placed them in a shallow oven dish, made a sponge mix, poured over the plums, decorated with flaked almonds and baked in the oven - voila plum sponge pudding - and yes it was delicious, and no there isn't any left !!!
So far dabs and tidying up the porch to be followed with tidying up the yard and off to the Chinese buffet for crab legs and pot stickers till I burst.
Well, 2 are mine, Squeaky and Ninja. They are older cats. This is what happened...Bob said he wanted to get a kitten, to encourage my 2 old gentlemen to play. He went to see a woman who had some kittens to give away. He came home with all 3 of the woman's kittens--AND THEIR MOTHER! Add to that the fact that the mama cat--drum roll, please-- was PREGNANT! She had four more kittens, bringing the grand total to 10. That's the whole story. EVERY cat is now 'fixed'. No more accidents. He won't consider giving any of them up, so I am stuck with 10 now.
Well at least they're yours, I've been partially adopted by a neighbour's cat who comes calling at night, jumps up on my bed and curls up beside me.
Awe Vlad that is so sweet...... our youngest cat (the other one is old and grouchy) sleeps in the girl's room, --- never had any of our cats curl up in our bed
all of ours were like that when i was growing up. neighborhood cats that would stay for weeks, be gone for a week or so and come back. presumably staying with other neighbors when gone from ours. at one time we had 24, some of them grand kittens of the first mom cat to adopt us. more typically there would usually be about five. including the two older toms who were the furst and second to adopt us. most of my life since i've had to live in places where landlords discouraged adopting them or charged punitively extra to permit them. but when i was little, and of course most of my childhood we were renting a seperate detatched whole house.
