    I just watched Sunshine on Leith, a lovely film set in Edinburgh and a story told through the music of the Proclaimers. It's a real feel-good film with some lovely arrangements of the Proclaimers' songs, and Edinburgh looks so good in it. Have a nice warm fuzzy feeling tonight . :)

    Still smiling inanely after making my o.h blush last night on our first video call, and not even through naughty means :) (that was later. Ha!
    After various skype glitches). Just the right words at the right time.

    Don't you know some gob****e will pee on my mood from a height, but I'm holding tight to the feeling for now.

    Walking through the town today, because of the drought the river is really low. Dozens of people swimming, splashing, playing water frisby. The sound of laughter and happiness in the air was so wonderful. I've missed the sound of people having fun.

    TH at getting a helping hand

    Was turning turf in the bog last night. There was a guy in a nearby plot and when he finished footing his turf, he came and helped me with mine.

    Nature.

    I was outdoors for hours today painting and a little shrew kept coming up long side me and just hanging around.
    They're funny little creatures with their pointy nose and waddle walk.

    Someone came between me and my sleep last night and I awoke this morning inventing the most amazing excuses for avoiding my daily exercise. Hauled myself out of bed and went for a run. Feel great now.

    It's been raining, that's why the fur on his/her nose is all messy. I think s/he took up residence under the shed. :)

    Getting into a staring contest with a fox I met during my lunchtime walk (I won; fox ran away from the immense power of my gaze).


    And I got a delivery of books today. I never buy new books for myself - I always buy second hand or go to the library, but obviously neither are an option now. I'm sick of the ereader, too, so I treated myself to three brand new physical specimens. I've spent half the day smelling their new book smell and admiring how unsullied the paper is.

    The wee buck (7) never seemed to be into arts and crafts, his sister got all the plaudits for that. But in lockdown he's showing me his drawings and they're pretty good.
    TH is he freezes the TV on a particular character and does a still life of them. Clever :)

    Stopped off at the garage from a few treats on the way home.
    Went to the till with 3 ice creams,2 packets of spicy Thai onion rings and 2 bars of chocolate.
    Assistant scans them and says "€2.50 please".
    I say that can't be right.
    Assistant scans them all again and comes to €2.50 again.
    Then says that's what it says so 2.50 will do!

    Ah well :pac:

    Listen to this.
    I had already picked up to Milano pizzas in Tesco which were half price anyway making them 2.84 each.
    When scanning them at the self service check out, there was a problem with one so the assistant had to run it through again.

    Just checked while ago there and I was only charged 2.84 for both :pac:

    So in total from both shops I got 2 pizza's,3 ice creams,2 Onion rings and 2 bars of chocolate for 5.34.
    One of those days!
    I suppose I should be buying all around me the way things are going :pac:

    I never win anything like that.
    I do the euromillions with a work colleague purely because they want to do it.

    Doing it about 10 years and it's €7 a week.
    About 5 times I've won a fiver.

    I check online and the times I won the fiver it says congratulations you're a winner.
    How am I a winner?
    It cost €7.
    I'm down €2! :pac:

    I love when a piece of music captures your mood.
    Catching up on paperwork here, listening to Lyric and keeping an eye on an old dog who is off form. I've never seen Twilight but Jacob's Theme just came on. Downed work, picked up my patient and closed my eyes to enjoy it.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,027 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Same, but replace "paperwork" with "work" and "dog" with "cat". :)

    My other happy for this morning, aside from Boards being back up and running again, is that one of the semi-stray, neglected cats I've been feeding has finally felt comfortable enough to mooch into my kitchen. She still hisses at me if I try to get too close, but she also meows (at least, that's what I'm "lip-reading" - I think she might be quite deaf and her meows are soundless. :() when she wants food and I'm not fast enough, and she keeps her tail high like a flag and slow blinks at me. :) I don't know what her name is, but I call her Lana. She's all black and has long, soft, shiny fur. She's quite small and I think she's quite young, too (and she's definitely feeding at least two kittens :()

    New home, my cat Oscar was locked in a shed for the first six months of his life with loads of other cats. He had no human interaction. He seems to instinctively know to meow at humans to get what you want but he didn't know how or what noise to make so he used to do silent meows! Now he meows but they always sound like kitten meows (he's 3 now!), really tiny little meows and still sometimes silent meows. He only manages a big meow if he's trapped someplace. So maybe your little one is the same, knows to meow but doesn't quite get it yet. Don't they say cats only meow for the sake of humans and they don't do it with each other?

    They say it, but having had LOADS and LOADS of cats since I was 6 and having seen them interact, I don't think I agree. :)

    Poor Oscar, though, sounds like he's had a very sad start in life. You might be right, though, Lana might be using ultrasound meows! :D I do think she has problems with her hearing, though, irrespective of her meowing skills.

    :D I've never really thought about it much but I might start studying my cats Attenborough style and watch how they interact vocally with each other. Expect my findings a year from now. ;):D

    Hello everyone! A newbie here...
    My TH is also cat related, I love listening to my house panther going around trying to decide where he'll nap. He gets a little chatty and then is pure silent once he's found a comfy spot for the afternoon :)
