Weekend Cafe – a Festive October morning 10/19

Hi Kilroy – how are you? Mmmm that brandy is good!

Did you know I have now retired and am a lady of leisure? It’s great, except I’ve been so busythat I haven’t had much leisure!

So Chaos and AV, guess I can “virtually” visit you when Winter hits as a force majeur (been doing translation project, thinking in French all pm, means major force). Just kiddin’ about the visit :-). Here we get to “look forward” to wind chills as low as 40 degrees below zero; snow covering everything so that one has to de facto slide down stairs until the super shovels them; when it warms slightly we get freezing rain where one gets to practice their skating skills (mine are nil); car drivers calling CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) to dig them out of the drifts and envying walkers (which fortunately I am). The there was the infamous “Ice Storm ’98” where I had to “rely on the kindness of others” or else face a week in a crowded shelter. Many retirees who are able to head to your area AV, from now ’til April. But me complain? No, never. LOL

So nice to have you here PM!!!! YAY! My sister has that problem as well. Since retired, is so busy she says she doesn’t know HOW she ever had time to “work”! LOL

Mr. K is very good at filling his “retirement” with projects. He juggles for 10 minutes a day, studies Spanish, does most of the cooking/shopping/cleaning, and makes regular trips to the pub. Oh, and takes naps 🙂

BB, friending isn’t a requirement, but it can make it a little easier to find a particular person’s posts. Someone (forgive me, can’t remember who) said think of it as connecting rather than friending; once you’re connected it’s easier to see what the other person has written. I don’t often go back looking for old posts, so it’s not an issue. As I said on WWM’s recent thread, I consider us all friends here.

I wonder where AZDeb is?

Well, I cleaned Leela’s cubby out where she’s been living. Got a lot of fur out and decided to put a small round pillow in there. She doesn’t know what to make of it yet. Maybe the problem is that the pillow’s fabric is Giants football! Sigh, my poor, hapless Giants team.
Leela got a good brushing today too, purring the whole time, as she sat on her freshly cleaned bed at the window. If she doesn’t take to the cubby’s new padding, she will sleep in the box next to the bed by me. Comet knows better than to come too close – he just comes close enough to look.

Paws Up!
Another superbly sunny day here and HRH Shadz is making the most of it. She can’t decide where to lie down though and gone from the sunny spot under the deck to the long grass by the rhubarb and then sprawling on the deck. It’s a hard life being a cat.
Chaos what a great pic of Harry with his cone, I hope his bladder settles down soon.
KJ, too cold there? There’s always the wormhole to pop through so you can warm up here.
Waving at PM, good to see you.

Ooh well this cutie pie is behaving more and more like a toddler. Twice now, he’s wet the bed while sleeping!! I don’t have enough sheets >.>
