Words can buzz and hum like insects in the air. I'm not actually a cat, but that's a secret.

Do look out for it. It makes for the best slow-fried bacon strips, ever. So good, the fat that renders off can be used for many other meals for days. Mmmmm, bacon fat.

I wrote a 500 word essay at 10 am each Friday morning before I had to present it in an 11 am tutorial. Because, I was always quite hangover, or even still drunk. (Thursday was, uh, dole day. Or, student allowance day. All depended on which month it was.) No AI can do those hard yards, I swear.

This is kinda terrible, but, I keep seeing Mister Wilfred. Out of the corner of my eye. Or, his big golden eyes appear in my dreams. Especially the expression he had on his face when I was unwell. He did the same with S, when she wasn't well, he'd be there. "Nurse Wilfred" we called him. I miss him

And also to, honestly, my suprise, it's all done. Seems I had less bits of musical plastic disks than I suspected.

It's certainly been a long on-off haul, but progress, as slow as it is, has been made. Shelves constructed. Alphabetical piles have been made. A and Bs sorted to their shelves. Now, onto the Cs.
I own a lot of CDs.

I guess I'll put up the new shelves next. Anything to delay trying to alphabetise this pile...

No, it's just me, surely? I'm not the only one seeing this? Our Prime Minister acknowledges Winston Peters is racist, but is "relaxed" about Peters being our Foreign Minister? There are few lines to be read between, here.
A news headline:
"Luxon expresses confidence in Peters as Foreign Minister, says his remarks were 'racist'.

So, let me get this straight: Luxon acknowledges Peters is racist but still thinks he should be our Foreign Minister?

Wilfred's teeth falling out, and being unable to stand for more than a few seconds. Those memories will haunt me. But, he'll also always be my precious golden-eyed boy. Adopted at 9 years old, and he gave us the best 5 years of our lives.

Ok, sometimes it didn't work out that well. Like when Mister Wilfred sympathetically threw up in the hallway while I was throwing up in the bathroom. But. It sort of showed he cared. And worried about his humans.

I do miss having a cat around the place. But. But I'm suspecting my reluctance to not doing a good vacuum, washing all the blankets, etc, is that I just don't want to let Mister Wilfred go.

Had a moment chatting to S about Mister Wilfred. How we remember him. We remember how we let him be a kitten again, after years of being abandoned or in shelters. Makes me very sad, but is a very happy memory.
