That is truly remarkable! Did someone have to come and let you out?

That’s going to be such fun! And I bet you’ll be the one doing most of the playing…

So, so long……… 😩

Oh, well done! I need to do so much of this kind of thing that I don’t really know where to start, but I’m going outside now to prune the hydrangeas, so that’ll be something!

Was just having a look at the temperatures. March can often be sneaky!

I hope you feel much better very soon - these coughing bugs do seem to hang around.

I’ve probably jinxed the weather now!

Good morning Clare and fellow ORCs. Must change my duvet over to a lighter one, I was much too hot overnight resulting in fitful sleep and some really strange dreams! Video chat with a friend in Norfolk today, otherwise a quiet day ahead so might try and do some gardening.

Tuesday 24th February
Bonjour les ORCS!!
Guess what?
It didn't rain overnight!
I've got my 🫖
OH has his ?☕️
Now what mischief can I get up to today?

PS I love that fabric!

Any of the colours in the fabric, but wood effect could work well too.

What a Good Samaritan!

What a Good Samaritan!

You and me both. I really suffer on heavy, overcast days. I'm a different person when the sun shines.

No. No it isn’t. 🫂

I hear what you’re saying but do you have video calls with him? WhatsApp or Zoom or similar?

The boys, in their different ways, look very like you.

Morning Hettie! He (or she) is beautiful.

So glad she’s had the hip replacement. Sending hugs for all the rest.

Morning Clare, morning ORCs! So begins the last week of February and the final week of meteorological winter. Yippee!

A quiet day and a quiet week ahead here, currently planning the shape and feel of the rest of the year and looking forward to March.

Cover of the book "On Looking: Eleven Walks With Expert Eyes" by Alexandra Horowitz.

I am here once again imploring you to pick up a copy of this book and read it

and then re-read it until it has rewritten much of what is uncomfortable within you

especially if you're feeling the weight of *points to ALL THE THINGS*

because Here is always worth re-appreciating, wherever we are.

Chocolate Easter bunnies and eggs of various flavours and colours.

My Easter collection is now available on my shop! 🐰
All the eggs, bunnies, and mini eggs are ready to go. They’re delicious and just waiting for someone to eat them… I also have a few plant-based options this year!

Feel free to order now or reshare if you know someone who’d love them! Thanks!

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

"As his post goes on, his language gets older. 100 years older with each jump. The spelling changes. The grammar changes. Words you know are replaced by unfamiliar words" Fascinating. So how far back in time can YOU go?

Me neither. But at least you have the cat as an excuse!

Morning Hilary, ORCs. No rain here at present, just grey (on grey). I’m so tired of the grey and the damp…

Last week of February though, so there’s that. Tea beckons.

Physically it’ll keep you going, but mentally things are so tough without the sun.

Oh no, so sorry to hear all of that. That’s tough news. Thinking of you.

I hope things went well for her today. 🫂🫂

Bestest of cats.
