My THs for today are: putting my hands around a warm mug of coffee on a frosty morning, 4 of the neighbourhood cats visiting, meeting friends for a walk and a picnic later, and a week's annual leave stretching before me.I got purrs and headbutts!!! It's taken me three good months to get them to trust me that much. One of them (the one my old cat liked) was waiting for me on the kitchen windowsill this evening when I got home.
I told you, Seph - you have to start buying cat food and cat treats.
She likes me, I think.

I am having such a happy morning after a very bad start to the week because of some trivial things and one major thing:
- blue skies!
- I ate actual breakfast for the first time since August (a chronic illness has been constantly flaring since then, meaning I threw up every time I tried to eat before 11-ish)
- got my first round of student evaluations back, and they're waaaaaay more positive than I'd thought they'd be (I was very anxious because I hate online teaching)
And, the big one:
My mamó is being discharged from hospital today!! She's been in since June, had two strokes, a major surgery, spent six weeks total in intensive care, and we nearly lost her so many times that we bracing ourselves for her not coming home. And now my mammy is going to pick her up in three hours! I spent most of my childhood with either set of grandparents (of whom 3 are still alive) to escape a house of boys, so I've very close to them all. I actually can't work I'm so overwhelmed by it, but I think that's ok

A week ago I never stuck my head under a car bonnet. I've been educating myself with youtube videos and message boards and online guides.
Due to my car battery being dead I succusfully removed it, used a trickle charger overnight, reinstalled it. I also did a lot of basic stuff. Inflate tyres, topped up oil and windscreen fluid, read message boards to reset some errors after the battery was installed.
I know, I know a first year mechanic learns these their 1st week and would scoff at me as a noob
However I am TH´d!! I learned a tiny amount of new skills and today my 12 year old car passed NCT 0 -
This stray cat is something else.
I think the whole neighbourhood is feeding her as a lot of the time she turns her nose up at food I give her.
She goes over to the ditch of the farmers field and then the cows come over to her.
She then starts licking herself allover delighted with the audience.
This goes on for about 15minutes, then she just leaves.
The only thing I'm surprised about is that she doesn't come back for an encore!

The cat is right over at the cows. If you look really, really, really closely, there's a faint red arrow pointing to him!0 -

I actually thought the cat was sitting on the fence and looked remarkably like a bird To thine own self be true
