    I couldn’t find anything interesting so it’s whatever

    Fun Fact: In the original Roman calendar, August was the sixth month with 30 days and was originally named Sextilis. In 8 BC, the Roman Senate rewarded Octavian Augustus a month in his honor.






    I finished watching “Vikingdom.” It’s kinda cheesy but some serious eye candy.

    Cya and have a happy~

    Dormire il sonno dei kit snuggled nel tuo letto (Italian)
    Sleep the sleep of kits snuggled in your bed

    Kits are gattini in Italian. You could also say mici… micio is a “luvvy” name for cats. Sort of like kitty or pussycat; you can make it a diminutive, for example micetti (little kitties).

    Many words for snuggle in Italian, but perhaps the cutest is “coccolare” (verb). The corresponding noun is coccola (singular), coccole (plural).

    There seemed to be a weird cyber-glitz with your Italian quote, PG…

    I love the wee bed. Livia simply sleeps on mine, or rather ours. She has her own cushion – she likes to sleep beside my head, unlike Renzo who always slept at the foot of my bed. I’m wide awake in the middle of the night, because of noisy neighbours partying in the upper flat across the lane. They party a lot, even during the workweek. It might be an air b&b…The noise stopped suddenly; perhaps someone called the police. Going back to bed and I know that my wee black shadow will follow me.

    Good Morning! I love your whatever pic choices, PG. The kitty defending the island…lol. And I’ve watched that video so many times before…cutest thing ever!

    Lagatta, sorry about the loud neighbors. Do you use white noise when you sleep? It won’t block out everything, of course, but we’re addicted to our little white noise maker even though we live in a quiet neighborhood.

    KJ, your experience with the kids at knitting circle made me smile a little…not at your frustration, but at myself because I have kids, but find myself not really wanting to be around young kids much anymore. Been there, done that…enjoying having older kids now…lol.

    We were being seated at a restaurant recently and they were about to put us in a booth that had a toddler from the next booth behind it facing our would be seat and sort of climbing toward it. I discretely let the waiter know we’d like to be seated elsewhere. I felt a bit self conscious since I had kids with me, so I said “We’re past that stage and enjoying it” or something like that.

    Usually the only white noise I have is Livia purring beside me (she purrs a lot), and in the summer with the windows open, a mature Norway maple in the breeze, outside my home office (my bedroom is the back of a “double room”, my office the front).

    I don’t mind a bit of noise. It is a lively neighbourhood with some cafรฉs, restaurants and bars (but not on my street)and I always sort of hear some late revellers returning home about 3 a.m., though it doesn’t really go on for long and I’ve been asleep for hours, just sense them. But these people were at it with loud music all evening and well into the night, and it is not only on the weekend. I should try to find the address and see if it is sublet as an air b&b… they are a plague in many cities now, though I admit myself that I’d rather stay in a studio than in a hotel room…

    Since I’ve never had human children I feel a bit awkward commenting on their behaviour, but having lived in different places, it is obvious that some tolerate more bad behaviour on their part than others, and whether children are taken along to “adult” places also varies a great deal. But it is true that even friends and relatives who are parents can be relieved to be over the early years when babies and toddlers, cute as they are, require parents’ constant attention…

    lagatta, I probably would have called the police.

    ECB, as a mom tks for your input. I don’t have kids either, and my up bringing was anything but ideal, enough said. But I was brought up in a “seen and not heard” time and now it seems to be a free for all. I was once in a cafรฉ and kid was jumping up and down on the banquettes – with dirty shoes on – where adults were planning to sit. Parents seemed to think this was “cute”. For sure I said something. And at gym there have been times when parents let their kids throw their post swim class wringing wet swimsuits all over the benches, in effect taking up a whole row. Indeed I said something. And them the parents get upset – at me!

    My purry guy is better behaved. Whatever. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Uh-oh double post! All now get to see my grammatical corrections. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ˜‰

    You are correct, Lagatta. That’s what I get for trying translating at 1 a.m. and relying only on the computer program. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

    It’s unfortunate you have neighbors like that. We have a fairly quiet neighborhood but times are a changing. On weekends, I won’t say anything until midnight. It’s scary going over though.

    I, too, do not have kids and don’t like rude kids and/or parents. It infuriates my nephew when he sees kids acting out. Being a parent, he knows how hard it can be, but that’s no excuse.

    Hehehe!

    I’d take gingery kit Jasper over the boyfriend and it wouldn’t take me that much thinking! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I’ve oft told this true story. Someone asked me what if I met a guy who was perfect in every way, ‘cept he doesn’t like/want a cat? Hello! Well then he isn’t purrfect! Whatever. *Sigh*

    And now having done an awesome spin class, it’s time for the first coffee of the day! Yes!

    I like the “you threw the bird away?” pic. I got a gift this morning and while unceremoniously making it disappear, turned to see Dewey behind me. Busted!

    Awwww, the pics are too adorable. Too many to pic a favorite, but they made my heart twist a bit.

    Well, I am nana to a toddler, and even though I take her to restaurants and other public places, I won’t tolerate bad behavior. If you let them get away with it at home (no table manners) they will do it in a public place. I, too, have asked to be moved when there is a toddler that is running the show at the next table. We actually had an incident last night when we went out for my birthday which is quite the opposite–a waiter (every time he passed our table) would touch Avery. She quietly told her mommy that she ‘didn’t want that guy to touch me’. *sigh* In this world where we are trying to teach boundaries and correct behavior, we have adults who don’t know them either. The waiter was not being rude or obnoxious, he was obviously smitten with her, but she found it uncomfortable. ๐Ÿ™

    I am cooling off after being in my little garden. I picked a nice amount of green beans, several little cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers!! I am so proud of my little garden and the money it saves me. Nothing like eating a tomato still warm from the sun.

    Having raised two of my own, I too cannot stand parents that let their kids run wild, with no manners! I’d ask to move too! We ‘restaurant trained’ our kids early, and if things started to get out of control (cause tantrums happen), we were the ones who left. And sweet Avery, she was right to tell her mommy to tell that waiter to stop touching her if it made her uncomfortable. Im sure they were being nice, but I agree, adults should know better. I remember having to push a bagboy away from my daughter as a baby, cause he kept getting up in her face and trying to tickle her chin. She was crying, and after asking him twice to ‘not to touch the baby’, i gave him a firm shove in the chest and said back off!

    Tks for your opinions re kids in adult settings littermates! Just spoke with Nadine, who raised her son to be most respectful and polite. I just can’t get moms who seem to think that I am flawed ’cause I don’t get all excited about their kids. Now if someone brought a kitty in … ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway the kid in question is starting pre-K end of Aug, so hopefully I’ll see less of her. And her mom.

    I so get kids not wanting to be touched. It’s good when kids learn appropriate boundaries and speak up when they are crossed,
