Thank you!!
Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.
My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We're close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She's not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.
Since she's been back inside she's had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.
It's nice to be social but I've had my fill for this week. Need a lot of solo time to recharge.
Today is all about finding a farm stay for a mum-&-son weekend away in a couple of months, making tteokbokki for the first time and doing the ironing.
Loving this weather. Love this type of easy, light rain.
But first: coffee!
Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.
Finally got round to watching The Flash movie.
I am not surprised. Just disappointed. Again.
Highlights: Keaton, Kara (really well handled & great shots in costume), "Come on Barbie".
Not even a bangin' soundtrack.
I'm planning on seeing it tomorrow! So excited!
Just the 2 of us tonight for dinner. Had 2 chicken thighs in the freezer. Diced chicken and dusted in plain flour and flavours (S&P, garlic & onion powders). Once all cooked tossed in the pan with some teriyaki sauce.
Should've used cornflour. Coating on chicken went a bit puffy. Great for soaking saucy flavour but not quite that great takeaway chicken texture I was hoping for.
Served with mixed veg & ramen noodles with a bit of chicken stock for taste.
No photos (quickly devoured) but all eaten by my fussy 8yo boy so a MASSIVE win!
Pretty happy considering I hate cooking and was in no mood for it tonight.
Over 200 kids. All treats, even the backups, gone. All decorations are down and in a pile.
Heading home to whack up my Halloween decorations after doing some volunteering at my kid's school this morning.
Delicious bahn mi roll for lunch should provide sufficient energy.
Maybe some sewing before school pick up. Or a nap.
What an awkward, mentally tiring day. Just when I think I've had a "win" I realise I've actually had 2-5 days worth of "loss".
Kicking back & watching Patheon season 1 on Prime. Really enjoying it. Distraction and blankets help.

Police helicopter circling near my kid's school. Distracting..
In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat's claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.
Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.
