If the rain and wind could hold off until say 9pm that'd be great. I'm meant to be doing outdoor cooking with kids this evening.

But, 0% chance of passing on any disorders to a cat. And fluffy friends definitely make the world better.

There doesn't even seem to be violent wind to counteract it! Maybe it'll actually be nice today?

I often tell Tommy Cat that he's very good at jumping, because everyone likes a bit of positive feedback. But tonight I've had to admit to him that both Simone Biles (and the other gymnasts) and the Equestrian horsies are probably better jumpers than him.

He might need to stick to the Olympic events of Napping and Being Fluffy.

Oh no! Good save.

I also stepped on a wet patch. It was cat vomit. I didn't slip, so I guess that's a win.

I dropped a 1kg tub of greek yoghurt onto the kitchen tiles. So much yoghurt. Should've stayed in bed.

It's -1.9 here. Feels like -3.8. No thank you. The cat has jumped into bed with me and neither of us are moving any time soon.

There is a cruel lack of chips in this house.

Excuse me that numbat is REAL and LOVED.

I bought a Terry's mint-flavoured chocolate orange, with the thought process being hey, I like chocolate oranges, I like mint chocolate, let's give it a go.

A week or so later I saw it in the cupboard and had a horrible thought: is it orange AND mint? What kind of monstrosity have I purchased here? Is this going to be like a Vegemite Tim Tam?

Upon closer examination I can confirm, no, just mint, but shaped like an orange because Reasons. So you can all relax, I'm sure that was stressing other people too.

I've started the day well, by missing the cup and pouring the boiling water on my toes.

I don't blame Bot001 for going back to bed.

I reckon my cat does know how to put the kettle on, he just pretends not to.
