WEEKEND LOUNGE, AUGUST 26-27, 2017

JJ, I love the visual TDK openings, although I swear I can smell the goodies from the kitchen and the ‘cawfee’ smells delicious!! The pictures that you can paint with words makes me envious!!

The cafe sounds and smells so wonderful, I think I’ll just hang out there all day. With the wonderful atmosphere of relaxation and kitties, what more could anyone want? The perfect weather (whatever you desire) is always available in TDK!

AV, so glad to know that son arrived safely and will soon be able to work out his relationship with GF. We can give them the best start in life and give them wings, but will always be anxious about their decisions and choices. I’m not one much on worrying (I learned long ago it does nothing but make the worrier sick) but I can send white light, good vibes, and prayers to help those I love…along with rolling up my sleeves, if need be and getting in there and helping. Hope you don’t experience flooding from all the rain that Harvey is sending your way.

Well, my house is clean and am waiting for Fed Ex to bring my new bedding today… tap..tap…tap..that’s my foot waiting for him, I have my arms crossed too… 😆 Getting ready to put on clean sheets, but I want my new stuff NOW! 🙄

Goo morning all.
JJ,thanks for the memories of old times here on TDK. 😀
At the moment I can really go outside and pick up oranges off the grass to squeeze for juice.
Wow the spread is wonderful and I can’t help smiling at the image of squirming kitties trying to get away from Mum to head outside.
AV, yay ! So glad that son has arrived in CAR. Positive Vibes for his talk with GF.
KZ, tap tap tap. Don’t you know a ‘watched pot never boils’.
He he PG, I would take 2 weeks of sleep.
We have a grey windy and at times wet day and it’s chilly too. Blurrrrgh !
We went out last evening for dinner and to watch our national rugby team play the Australian national rugby team. Yay the NZ All Black won a nail biting game and then up earlier than usual for a Sunday to watch our National women’s rugby team play England Belfast Northern Ireland in the finals of the Women’s World Rugby Cup which they won too and it was also nail biting game. Congratulations to the Black Ferns on their win.
How my morning began.
HRH spent a second night with us, first on top of the bed then snuggling down under the covers. It is lovely to see her finally getting back to her old self.

Some “intrepid” reporter caught some shots of the Café kitties playing. And other Weekend Café shenanigans!

LOL at the ‘Earth is a cat’. NZ is a hair tie just sitting to the south east of the ‘ball’.
I love the ‘gotcha’ pic and isn’t Seymour a talented young kit.
I have a large stockpot on the stove with vegetable lentil soup simmering away. I know Winter hasn’t finished with us until part way through Spring and Mr MS will be needing his thermos of soup. The aroma is delicious.

What ! You couldn’t find Canada on a map? It’s an awfully big target to look for unlike NZ. Geography definitely isn’t your strong point then but you have other strong point to your credit. Just the other day Mum and I were talking about an Estonian neighbour we had many years ago. We asked her if she knew anything about NZ before she came to live here after the war. She said that they had studied all about NZ in school. Small countries seem to learn about other small countries as well as the continents.
Spring begins here Sept 1st but our Spring will be more of the same as Winter has brought us. We have had a very wet Winter this year.

Good morning! I been thinking of you guys this week and hoping all is well, though I’m just getting the chance to check in. We had our first week back to school. It went well…now time to plan for next week.

Cute, cute pics today! I love the cat toy baskets…they look just like ours. Eko is the only cat who will actually go rifle through the basket to find a favorite toy to play with. He’s really good at entertaining himself.

Hope you enjoy your new bedding, KZ. We’re enjoying a new mattress. And tomorrow a charity is coming to pick up our old one. It’s been sitting in our living room for two weeks…can’t wait for it to go! I didn’t want to just put it out for trash because it’s only five or six years old and exceptionally clean for a used mattress. It’s lacking some support, but I still found it comfortable, so hopefully someone else will too.

KJ…Ebay is so great for things like your Walkman. It’s really fun. I just had my first eBay experience a year or two ago when I got into collecting vintage dishes. Some things you wish were still available are sitting in someone’s house going unused. Sons wanted old fashioned plain boggle for Christmas and there were no current versions like that. They change classic games like Risk, Boggle, Monopoly, etc… I’m guessing they do that to make folks think they need a newer version. Anyways, sons had played my aunt’s original boggle and wanted that, so found it on eBay for same price as the newer version.

Happy Sunday all! ….. Mr. AV is ‘Mr.Ebay’ …. he buys/sells golf clubs and all sorts of stuff on there all the time! … he’ll buy a driver, try it out for a few months, and if it’s not exactly right, he’ll sell it and search for a new one ….. something’s always newer, bigger, better …. ect!

This morning was my day to sleep in/be lazy ….. it’s been a really rainy weekend, so Abby and I have been curled up with a book, and Caddy has been ‘top shelf’ on her porch perch ….. not surprizingly, Mr. AV still kept his golf tee times …. if it isn’t lightening, they’ll play …. they all have these high tech rain suits …. ya gotta figure with golf that originated in Scotland, rain is just part of it!

At least Mr. AV doesn’t have to wear plaid knickerbockers and a tweed jacket. 😉

Did your gang “break in” your new linens?

Just a reminder: August 31th is TDK Black Cat Appreciation Day so please have pictures, stories and stuff. Here’s a Black Kittah to remind you!

For KZ: 😉
