Yeah, thanks BT 😬. What do you want me to do, make an appointment in my diary?! How about just let me know when it’s ready?! #NotificationsFromTheFuture #ThanksIHateIt

Text message from BT informing me that my latest bill will be ready to view “in a few hours”.

Puma does the best “aeroplane ears” #Caturday

Head of a tabby cat, with her eyes mostly closed and her ears sticking out almost flat like aeroplane wings.

I’m surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. Reading glasses on face plus on head. 5 mins ago I also had my headset on for a Teams meeting. Thankfully I didn’t have my camera on!

Ordered a cushion for a street-find office chair. I hadn’t noticed it has cat ears. I’m the opposite of upset about it 😸

Found my Kobo stylus really slippy and difficult to hold. Thought about adding washi tape, but then found a small elastic band. The ugly bit where it crosses over is actually useful to show which side the highlight button is on. #LifeHacks #accessibility #Kobo #stylus

The pointy end of my white Kobo Stylus 2 with a small black elastic band wrapped around neatly near the tip.

The difference in their facial expressions is cracking me up. #WorldCup

Composite image from my TV guide app. Left half shows Harry Kane looking miserable/furious, right half shows (I presume*) the DR Congo captain grinning his head off.

Ran out of clean glasses so having my electrolytes in a wine glass 💅

Corner of my desk with various detritus. On a black & white striped square coaster is a large wine glass full of a mystery opaque lilac drink.

I think someone wants me to stop working and give her attention! #CatsOfMastodon #FosterCats

My tabby foster cat, Puma, is lying behind my laptop. You can see her head and one paw is grabbing the side of the screen, claws out!

My laptop screen wallpaper is a photo of my “lockdown garden” with yellow geums and purple lychnis.

Apparently it’s Terrible Comic Day, so here’s one I drew a few years ago. It’s called “cat bed”. It’s pretty much the only comic I’ve ever drawn, but would like to do more. #TerribleComicDay

1. A stick figure is lying starfish-style in a bed. A cat is curled up on the floor next to the bed.
2. The stick figure is now lying on their side. The cat has joined them on the bed, and is lying in the crook of the figure’s bent knees.
3. The stuck figure, still on their side now was one leg bent and one straight. The cat is lying between the legs.
4. The cat is now curled up in the dead centre of the bed and the stick figure is squashed up along one side.

#Caturday This is my current foster cat, a 5-year-old called Puma:

Head and shoulders of a pretty tabby cat with light green eyes. She’s lounging on a leopard print fleece and you can see the back of a grey sofa bed behind her.

Replaced the lithodora that I lost due to ants nesting in the pot. I’d had it for years before that. It flowers for months and is converted in bees when it’s sunny. #TrugLife

A terracotta pot, approx 30 cm diameter, containing a lithodora plant, which has spindly stems with small green leaves and lots of small bright-blue flowers. The colour is called “heavenly blue”.

Lying on a hammock under a cherry tree in my garden. I don’t think the garden birds realise I’m here. They keep flying and landing quite close to me. It’s lovely to hear their wings in the air.

Looking up from where I’m lying on my hammock. I can see the grey hammock canopy, cherry tree branches with white blossom and blue sky beyond.

Nice to see passenger trains from my garden! It used to just be freight trains.

I haven’t read a fashion magazine in years, but someone had left a couple on the train. I know that nothing in them would fit me, not would I be able to afford anything, but I do like to dream and get inspo for styling and hopefully when I have enough energy […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

When art installations simultaneously take your breath away and make your heart race! It was like being in a nightmare or evil fairy tale, but in a good way. Stunning exhibition from Chiharu Shiota at the Southbank Centre. Well worth the special trip. Catch […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

During Sleep art installation by Chiharu Shiota. Comprising several white beds attached to the floor and ceiling by a humungous amount of black thread.
