For today’s open thread, reader Georgiana Y. shares these photos of her special neighbors:
Hello everyone, I thought you would enjoy meeting the stray cats I feed. First here is one of the kittens, unfortunately it’s not great because it’s very skittish.
Then there is this tuxedo cat, I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl.
And then there is this orange fellow who is definitely a boy, I saw the proof.
And finally this cheeky imposter!
That first black kitty is SO SMALL! How can s/he be living on its own?
I wish I had neighbours like these, particularly the Orange Exhibitionist!
England has been “enjoying” another heatwave recently so on Tuesday I decided to have a cheap day out in Whitby. The bus had scarcely reached the North Yorkshire Moors before I noticed the smell of burning and a huge plume of smoke – a grass fire was in progress and still hasn’t been completely extinguished. As if that wasn’t exciting enough, when the double-decker bus began to negotiate a very narrow bridge near Goathland Railway Station (featured in the Harry Potter films) a speeding SUV came perilously close to hitting it. There was a tense standoff for a few seconds until the SUV and five cars behind it reversed far enough to let the bus through. You may be asking “Alice, why are double-decker buses even allowed on such a narrow bridge?” To which I would reply “Probably because it’s the nation’s most scenic bus route and we need the tourism money”.
Thank you Mike for putting-up my photos.
Oh Alice, I well remember the narrow roads and bridges of England, I would sometimes close my eyes when we encountered another car because I was sure we would be it, thank goodness my husband is a great driver.
I’m feeling better, finished the antibiotics on Thursday but I’m not 100% back to normal yet, I’m still coughing a bit and feeling exhausted but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The weather is finally back to seasonal temperature here, mid 20’s during the day and a cool 15 at night.
Hope everyone as a great weekend.
Aww, wish I had such cute neighbors. I did see a Frenchie (or possibly a sentient gray potato) when I took out the trash last night. He lives on the street that runs perpendicular to mine.
Not much going on. I’m on vacation next week so I have 9 days to get some $#!/ done around my house. (I was also off yesterday but I did nothing, except some dishes. I have more but the drainer is full.) Coincidentally, there is an email in my inbox this morning with the title “The best way to declutter” so we’ll see if that has anything useful for me. Also might go look for some sneakers to replace my black Vans slip-ons that are getting a little frayed. I want to find something similar in style but with some cushioning, because those things have none and my feet hurt by the end of the day whenever I wear them.
Okay, hear me out; Clown car, but with huskies.
Plus a backup on the couch, and Wally has a frisbed.
I love dogs but that’s definitely too many dogs, especially huskies in one house! Can you imagine when they all start howling 😫
That amount of huskies astonished me! How big is the house?! How can that many large dogs be comfy there? And the *noise*!😳 Maybe it’s a daycare situation? But still…😳
Such cuties one and all, including the imposter.
Exciting week here at chez AJ. After weeks of highly anticipated baby watch, my co-worker’s daughter finally had it. It’s a little girl making her debut in the middle of the night Wed, coming in at a teeny 6 lbs 2 oz, 19 in long (approx 3 kg, 48 cm). Everyone is doing well, and home from the hospital. Valkyrie went back to vet and according to them, her eye is better and she’s off the meds. They recommended keeping her in the cone for a few more days, which we do when we’re out of the house and can’t watch her to make sure she’s not scratching it.
Weekend will be busy, Lego meeting today and crafty workshop at the museum tomorrow. Somewhere over the next 2 days, I also need to do some gardening to get the weeds under control, grocery shopping, cleaning, and laundry. Thankfully it’s been somewhat cool so I won’t melt when I’m out weeding. Hopefully everyone’s weekend stays cool-ish and enjoy.
What’s this, uh…what is this?
