    Hi all, it’s Guy Fawkes evening here, wet and cold so I have postponed our celebrations until Saturday evening. HRH is tucked up beside me snuggled under a blanket to keep the noise to a dull banging and cracking. In fact she looks just like the first of the cute pictures.
    I’m off to bed –
    Nighty night

    Waves @ KJ 🙂

    G’night Jan, sleep tight, have sweet dreams and scritches for HRH in the morn….

    This is a throw-back to when TDK had a Café and a Night Shift, here was an example of the NS closing before the Café opened in the morn….culmination of a few of us old-timers….
    It is 04:29 A.M., no-one around so…let the closing begin using a combo of closings gratis Moonshadow, LV, & Tigger….good job everyone…
    check lights off and turns out neon “TDK Night-Shift sign in window
    check night lights glowing gently, puts on cool jazz radio for ambiance and stragglers
    check cat flaps swings creeeeeeeek (pulls out WD-40), check cat flaps again to ensure they swing quietly and effortlessly check doors closed, left just ajar so fuzzbutts don’t come to us with complaints check dry kibble out as a midnight snack (so hopefully no 5 am breakfast wake-up call) and freshens litter-box. Puts away assorted fuzzy, squeaky cat-toys into Toy-Box Wipes tables and chairs, sweeps and mops all floors in chat-room, House dusted, swept, polished and vacuumed clean after all the family has traipsed through it, check windows left open for fresh cool breezes for the southern hemisphere TDKers and shut tight for the northern hemisphere TDKers.
    Goodnight to all the imaginary friends in TDK land, goodnight Erin, goodnight Johnboy. Thank goodness Boo decided to come home. White energy also being sent to those in need this day. >^..^<

    Morning KJ & Deb, nighty-night MS. Will look forward to fireworks Saturday night.
    Love the pics – especially the last one. Nothing like a cat profile, and the fireworks behind him, how pretty!
    Remember the night shift closings well. Have been somewhat looking for Terry’s opening “from John’s kitchen”.
    Hoping the day will come soon when I don’t have to wake up with the worries. Must go and hug a cat, or two, or three…

    So sad about this dog, one reason most days I do like animals more than people, sigh…

    I can’t comment on this article because I can’t log in since I am here @ ‘this place’…sure hope that the person who offered to foster this pup and the person so wants to adopt actually contacts the person watching over this dog…

    Morning all! …. Deb, thanks for the ‘rememberance’ of the NS closing …. I always love that, I loved the neon signs, and the smokin’ jazz lounge, with Sven and his brothers …. and then LV would get cranked up with the food fights, or goo wars ….. we’d get all up in arms about something, and the wack bonk sticks would come out …. good times for sure!!

    …. Enjoy your fireworks, MS, HRH is smart to bury down in a blankie to avoid the noise & stress … Abby does the same thing here on the 4th of July and New Years…. and the rosemary skewers are a great idea, I’ll have to try it – maybe with lamb and/or chicken? sounds really good!

    …. off to start a busy day! check you guys later

    Morning Deb and AV!
    Deb, for a sec thought that one was supposed to drink the Spring Cleaning mixture, not that there’s anything harmful in it LOL. Clearly I need to wake up fully and get with day’s program, starting with coffee! 😉

    Joan,
    Dorry volunteers to come thru wormhole for a hug from his Auntie Joan (as if he is deprived here). I think it’s just a ruse to get to visit with Miss Leela LOL. But his generosity does surprise me.

    Hey all,
    Can we not revive the Night Shift? I know that I would enjoy a whack-bonk refresher course, esp if instructor is as good-looking as new spin instructor, OK I’ll give it up, it’s just a day old, but already getting old. LOL

    Good morning all, what a wonderful good night you described Deb. Loved reading it, even though it’s actually morning here, it took me down a few notches and made me relax–and isn’t that a good thing?!
    I am ashamed to say I didn’t know about Guy Fawkes day…so glad for the explanations above. Always is good to have an excuse for fireworks!
    Little Avery came this morning all wound up, she must have had a restful night’s sleep. She was grinning, cooing and kicking that one leg like she would run off if I let her! She is starting to mimic sounds and trying to find her little voice. She gets so tickled but can’t get the laugh to come out yet, but I can’t wait! Willow lays on her blankets when I put her there for tummy time, it’s like he is her babysitter. Oldest daughter is stopping by to watch her for a couple of hours as I am off to the hair salon for a trim! How lucky I am they are both close, to me and to each other, and we all help each other out!!
    Later!

    A trim, what fun KZ! Those of us with short/shorter hair seem to create the bulk of our stylist’s income, IMHO LOL. No need to feel ashamed re Guy Fawkes Day, it’s a UK specific “celebration”. And even though Canada is part of UK no one except historical novel or history buffs seems to know about it, but seems from MS they do fireworks in NZ. I had no idea what yesterday’s US elections were about. I was like, so is Obama still president?
    As for Night Shift. Some of the agency kitties came by to give me demo of what we could be in for:

    I’d be up for it, but wouldn’t want to hijack a Weekend Lounge as if I recall from my 1 or 2 Night Shift forays, they seem to take place late on Caturday night. And I’d want JK there.
    Am I giving this too much thought? Purrhaps this am’s brekkie as Hemp Plus granola had some addy’s along with hemp? Hmmm …

    Well post flu-shot bicep feels like I’ve been pinched/punched with bruise alongside. Then again other side effect is supposedly not catching flu, so I’ll just stop complaining.
    And could we have some TDK blessings for wonderful older couple from my gym, J and B, both having surgery today, nothing major, but surgery is surgery.Tks.
