I was told in no uncertain terms that we were going outside today. There was banging on the door. I was reluctant, worried that Melbcat could wait for a chance to abscond. I managed to get a cuddle but she was adamant. Eventually my guilt won so after making a cuppa we went out.

Not sure why she sooks a bit sometimes when she’s outside. Either a uti is coming back, or maybe it’s her age?
My umbrella sailed away with the wind, I found tomato seedlings among the flowers, and I couldn’t find my spot in the book. Neighbours dog was barking at me in my own damn yard and nutcase neighbour briefly moved around.
Eventually we needed to come back in for the bathroom.
Noticing that people seem to be arseholes to me online more frequently lately, and getting some stronger ‘drift’ energy off the last few online friends. Even maybe a bit of a funny vibe. And it’s like… ok. I only stuck around for you so guess I know what time it is.🚶
I don’t feel like doing art today but I might anyway this evening. It is a human activity and I have to do something. It just sucks that something that used to be inspiring is now mechanical. Same for reading. Crochet also boring.
I hope I can wrangle my brain back into books because both irl and online suck.
I read a book today!
A book about Australiana. I now know what to look for in op shops in country towns. 🙂
