The voidcats have picked up on my exhaustion from a week of cycling after several months off, and joined me in solidarity. Thordis Longleap is between my feet and Snorri Silvermane has taken up station on my desk chair

A photo take by Kit lying on her back showing one leg with a black cat in between Kit’s bare legs. A wardrobe is in the background and an enormous cardboard box that contained a kitchen sink and has been retained as a cat castle. An armless black office chair opposite the bed holds another black cat. The photograph has been pretty brutally processed to try and bring up the voidcats in a dark room.

First ride with a new (to me) water bottle. How do i get the cap off? Oh, you’re supposed to bite then suck. Not sure if squicked out or wondering if they make larger sizes…😳

When the spout of this water bottle is squeezed a slit in the tip opens. No squeeze, no drink.
