Weekend Open Thread

Good morning and welcome to the weekend! Hope everyone got a good night’s rest — just like Jacques, who claimed the top spot in reader Tara O.’s bed:

The photo was taken around 3 am. Jacques also approves of the new mattress and insists on the center position. I started my evening rest in the middle, but then…

A cat curls up asleep in the center of a collection of pillows.
Oh, just sleep around me.

    Jacques seems to be dreaming about being on the diving team in the next Olympics…

    I’m currently resting (but not on a new mattress) after straining a few underused muscles whilst painting over some water damage on the bedroom and loft ceilings. This job could have been done months ago but I wanted to make sure the roof repairs were finished and no more water could seep in. I have to admit that I’ve now reached the age of being uneasy up ladders!

    Speaking of age, I was delighted to learn that a revival of one of my all-time favourite shows is coming to my local theatre – the RSC’s bunraku-style puppet version of Shakespeare’s “Venus and Adonis”. I was under the impression that I saw the production at Stratford a few years before Covid, but in fact it was…2004! It’s unbelievable that 22 years have passed since then.

    Such a cat! Move over Jacques, and let momma have some space. Most people who let their pets sleep with them usual end up as pretzels, lol.

    Finally have a break in the heat, only going to be in the 80s the next few days. May have to put on the long sleeves, lol. Not much planned for the weekend. I just want to get out of the house. I worked from home the last few days and with the heat, didn’t really go anywhere so I’ve got some cabin fever. Might go see a movie, might go walk the mall. Hope everyone has a lovely first weekend of spring.

    Happy Caturday! Well, maybe not at 3am… today is for cleaning up stuff.

    The dogs were good…. Nice to see those blue collar jobs getting some attention.
