Book Lovers Saturday Cafe Nov 2

Wow Deb your workplace seems to be staffed with a lot of “unfluffies”. Joking aside, I do feel for you, having worked for “too long” with a slew of 100% total jerks. Take it easy (if that is possible and helps). Off to gym, hope the customary “unfluffiness” will not be in force *that’s MY bike* (said by a supposed adult). I am rockin’ a race jersey that I got last week from my fave instructor in her “stash clearout”. KJ, who has never biked on anything other than a spin bike, let alone been in a race, except perhaps a virtual one LOL. Anyway I guess one can dream and be inspired LOL. Later!

KM, thanks for the time clock and date on the top right hand side 🙂

*Waves* Hi Joan, Kilroy. How’s the awesome new “iPod” Buttons?

Shared by Chihuahuan Desert Master Naturalists : “I’m happy to report that Monarch butterflies have reached San Luis Potosi, Mexico after thousands of miles (Km) of migration travel. They only have a few hundred Km to go to their winter camp. I saw them yesterday at dusk as they were preparing to settle for the night. unfortunately for the Monarch, soon after, a huge thunderstorm came and it kept raining all night and for today it has been drizzling.”

Only $106 … USD … then shipping to Canada (if possible) … then exchange rate … hmmm. If my experience with “bought” kitty toys, beds, etc. is anything to go by, Dorry would not use it. He prefers “my” bed, “my” cubbies and cabinets, bits of paper and boxes, whatever … cheap date I guess … LOL.

Deb, the video of the golden & his buddy almost made me cry at that place. Awwww, poor scared, sad goggie 🙁 But now he has a friend! 🙂 🙂

Good morning all, it’s an overcast drizzly day here with barely a breeze and I couldn’t be happier. I may finally be able to plant out my pumpkin and courgette plants. I wandered into the garden at 7am to see if the slugs/snails had done any damage and disturbed a tabby cat sleeping on top of a compost heap. It took off and disappeared through the neighbours place, I bet the compost was a lovely warm place to sleep. HRH Shadz had a wee hiss spit and yowl fight with one of her admirer cats last evening, their attentions are becoming very annoying it seems.
Good news that the Monarchs are almost at their annual winter over camp in Mexico, I just hope there is enough trees left for them though. We have plenty flying around here but caterpillar hatching season won’t be for a while going by last years time table. I need to get more of their food plants in the garden and eliminate the nasty wasps that decimate them. Wow, what a great cat tree, there was a DIY tutorial in the weekend paper for a cat tree but the person doing it didn’t really seem to have any ideas of what cats need/want in a cat tree, it was barely a foot tall.

A lazy Sunday afternoon *Queen waves* to all in the Cafe…..

oh, MS, you should post pics of your Monarch butterflies when they arrive……. I’d love to see them!

…. had a ‘pop- bye’ weekend from Dau this weekend! …… since she broke up with her BF she misses going to some of the weekend parties that they attended together, and the one this weekend was at his house, so she didn’t feel like she could go ….. so we had a nice weekend of enjoying comfort food and she and I performed surgery (sewing) on some of Mr. AV’s under clothing that needed it – his favorite pjs (which are impossible to find these days) needed to have the waistband taken in – you know how elastic stretches out over time…… of course, that was after shopping all day for new ones – but either they weren’t the right material, or they had the wrong kind of waist, or they were too short (can 70’s men’s short basketball shorts really be coming back?!) I hope NOT! LOL

… Kilroy, that stinks about the A/C assessment! …… I see things like that all the time in the condo projects around here! ……. sometimes, it’s almost like another mortgage payment! ugh!
