I should have known that blogging about not blogging would be an invitation for something drastic to happen, rendering me all but incapable of blogging, resulting in… blog irony or something. (Don’t count how many times “blog” appears in that sentence.) The fact that I have a tummy bug, and a cold on top of that, and work has suddenly gone from relatively quiet to rushed off my feet in the space of a couple of weeks leaving me exhausted at the end of each day is just… sod’s law. Life lesson: the bigger your todo list, the more likely it is something will prevent you from tackling it.
When I’m not snoozing under the duvet on the sofa, glued to crappy TV, I’ve been thinking about what to plant this spring. Because of the recent move, Karl and I have very limited space now for growing. No proper garden, only what can be described as a pile of rubble masquerading as a rockery down the side of the driveway (although unfortunately somewhat sheltered by a low wall). That said, we are fortunate to have several large and VERY sunny windowsills, so I am hoping that we shan’t be a total no-grow area. Smaller plants only, I think. (If you’ve any cat safe recommendations for human edible plants, do share. I have 8 strawberry plants but could do with some variety.)
I’ve been asked to mention the Litter Kwitter, but the thought of cat poo is turning my stomach so I shall leave that delight for another time. So there we are, I am still alive :)
Seem to have caught a sicky bug again, so not feeling up to much recently. Just posting so that if you’re waiting on an email from me or anything like that, you know why it’s delayed. Will get through everything as soon as possible. :)
Mimi mentioned on last week’s Furry Friday post that Hex doesn’t get enough posts, and focus seems to be on Fudge. This isn’t intentional, I do not have a favourite cat. There are two problems, however, with posting new Hex material… firstly, he refuses to let me take his photograph properly, which means 90% of… read full entry »
Karl’s mum bought me a cat book for Christmas. The Cat Who Came in from the Cold by Deric Longden, to be precise. I must admit, I started it with a little trepidation. Just because I like cats does not automatically mean I like everything to do with cats. However, the book was great, and… read full entry »
I’ve been an avid blog reader for years. As long as I’ve had my own… possibly longer. I read a huge variety of topics, too. From personal blogs (or “journals”) to tech/gadget stuff, marketing, SEO and code to cooking and cats (but not cooking cats). However, it seems that of late all of my favourite… read full entry »
Hex and Fudge have multiple nicknames. Hex is also known as “Noodles” (Hexy Noodles) and Fudge as “Buckets” (Fudgey Buckets). The later, mostly to do with the fact that Fudge’s stomach is like a bucket… a bottomless pit. Case in point: Karl and I had just finished our evening meal, when Fudgey appears… Nom nom… read full entry »
Stephanie told me that I have to blog. But, I don’t really have anything to blog about. Work continues at a reasonable pace bug-fixing and improving BellaBlocks, I’m still mid-way through implementing some code Mat worked on for me, and I’m still all out of sync from the move. Lucky I already broke my blog-a-day… read full entry »
