42 seconds of Talia and her buddy Paulo. Sis finally watched the video from the big bad day and was delighted at how chill they all are with eachother.

Heavy rain makes the building sound like a marble run.

Got pretty drenched on the walk today, i'd put away the umbrella only for it to start pouring again. Lily completely unbothered walking through puddles and Talia occasionally putting her ears back when hit by drops but not unhappy about rain anymore.

A year ago before arthritis treatment, Lily would take one look at the weather outdoors and refuse to leave the front steps. It's delightful to see her puppy-like no matter the weather. She had to have a bath because of mud once home.

I tried using a telescopic magnet-ended tool a few months ago to reach vapes but it broke within 3 days (thin aluminium and tiny ball bearings aren't made to carry any weight) so today when a smashed foldable umbrella was in the middle of the road, a light bulb went off. 💡😉

Didn't even have to use wire cutters: the inner and outer spokes are strung on a thin wire around the top piece and a second movable piece : twist the wire open and it all comes apart. Ta da. Bag size, slightly more sturdy, telescopic stick. No magnet unless I can glue one or find a donut one from something electronic.

Overheard a new one on Thursday : "ils prévoient la mer et les poissons ce weekend". They're predicting the sea and fish (levels of rain) this weekend. 🌧️🐟🌊☔

Things that never get old: the furrito with sleepy Talia baking at the center.

[firespirited]

Overdid it on Saturday so chose to take Sunday off but the bowels have locked up as they do when too many spoons get used so today's going to be a truncated slow day too.

I had a brief moment of clarity in the middle of the night and was able to write a To Do list that includes more broken down To Do lists. Stuff that had been overwhelming became a messy but clear-ish path.

The past two weeks I've been repairing, destaining (or frogging) one or two found items of clothing per day to give back to charity. The red cross donation bin was broken again and all the clothes left beside the container to rot in the rain got tossed. I saved a few yarn items from the rain soaked pile then a leather jacket for helper C and a denim handbag for roommate M from the bins. Thankfully they've replaced the container for a working one (with all mentions of the county next door blacked out with tape LOL). I haven't got photos of most. It's harder to find the space and remember to photograph large things.

The kids' hoodie is from Peru and just needed a couple of seams redoing with yarn and a stain covering with a decorative X stitch.

This guy was from the same batch as Furby Domo. The motor mechanism was broken so he blared "you make me want to shout" while making crunching clunking sounds like his neck was broken (I mean it was).

I removed all the electronics, sewed him back up (ladder stitch is your friend for plushies) and put him through the wash as he's high quality fur and fabric, super soft and huggable.

The electric trimmer was on its last legs wrt its tiny motor so I used it to shave the bobbles off two beloved jumpers I've been saving then used the rechargeable NiMH battery to fix a solar LED garden light whose battery had corroded. It's currently serving as the nightlight in the sitting room but we're considering getting some (and water proofing the batteries with hot glue) for the front of the building, the grannies have been having trouble with the steep driveway, if there were lights it might help a little bit, we're still fighting to get that railing installed and a wheelchair ramp... It's a start.

This is our new neighbour and now friend. He seemed curious so I stood still and got Talia very calm and we just stayed against the wall chatting to him for 15 minutes while he slowly circled. He was very friendly and affectionate with me but a little confused about the creature that is not a cat but cat sized, definitely not as big as the dog that lives at his house. They ended up playing chase and orange boi only used a closed paw to gently tap and we've met three times now (unsure as there are two of them, identical in age and very similar patterns) so I think we're good.

Talia was looking forlorn with sis gone so I let her on my bed. She immediately found and ruffled the ultra soft velvety blanket (elle a le goût du luxe) while I built a little duvet fort to keep her cosy. I don't think I'll ever get over having a strange mogwai of a dog-cat that needs heat and a few hours a day of direct human contact around (she sits on sis' shoulder while she works, lies against her belly while she watches TV) .

And my 15yo puppy doing her sad sam tm face.

Can't move, teeny tiny very sleepy dog.

We just bathed the dogs. They’ve been doing mad half-hour/zoomies/fighty fight because they’re feeling fancy (and full of peanut butter that we smear on the bathtub for them) for a full twenty minutes. Muppets, the both of them. adorable muppets.

... as it cools, allow the marshmallow to expand, gently scritch and massage to ensure maximum sweetness before covering for another hour during which the marshmallow will return to its rounded shape.
