Miss Meow fully approves of the new L shape scratcher. So far she has been indifferent to the corner scratcher, I'll have to wait and see if she feels like investigating it after a nap.
I've also put plastic guards along the front of the couch and armchairs, which is her preferred scratching area but not mine.
The bed and bedside tables have now been picked up. The dining chairs and Miss Meow's new cat trees are in the van as well, I'm going to pack as much other stuff as I can around all that to take up tomorrow.
The mop to go with the mop bucket arrived today, so I'm all set to give the floors a quick once over to remove whatever dust has settled. The carpets can get a quick vacuum on a later visit.
More Temu has arrived. I may have gone a touch overboard on the suction cup hooks.
A couple of Temu packages have already arrived this morning. Some plastic shelves are the wrong colour and a plastic bin is warped out of shape, but most of the stuff is not too bad. One small rug/mat I don't remember ordering, so I will have to investigate what it is supposed to be. Miss Meow's window hammock looks good, and I think she'll like the window-mounted toy with ping pong balls inside too.
Edit: looks like I did order the mat, although I can't remember where I was planning to put it. I have four external doors in the new place though, so it certainly won't go astray.
How could it be anything but circumstantial? It's rare in any murder trial to have direct evidence, and poisoning is inherently a hidden and secretive crime. Unless she actually videoed herself picking poisonous mushrooms, putting them the meal, and saying she know's they're poisonous I can't see any way you could have direct evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is not bad evidence. Once you have a reasonable amount of different bits of evidence all pointing in the same direction it becomes very solid evidence.
Getting in the door was back to easy mode again today - package delivery was just two footstools. I now have two fluffy pink footstools to rest my feet on. They may be a touch small for Miss Meow to use as a cat bed, but I expect her to trial them out at some point anyway.
The water at my place gets discoloured if it sits in the pipes too long, which is most noticeable in the kitchen because it is furthest away from the connection. The pipes probably all need to be replaced, so I just make sure I run the water for a while before I use it for drinking or cooking.
My pakige has been taken to the post office. This is possibly an indication that my front porch was already full, so I am prepared for getting in the front door to be a bit of a challenge again tonight.
Hopefully your overflow diverter is not diverted and you can overflow at will shortly.
A place called Kevin Removalists. Their quote was middle of the range, they were not a pain in the butt to deal with, and their reviews were mostly positive. I went with 3 movers instead of 2 so I can get it over and done with as soon as possible.
Removalist is booked. I got the quote online and just spoke to them on the phone for the first time. Lady I spoke to seemed very nice which is I think a good sign.
I find it amazing how much cake decorating has changed from when I was young. When I grew up rolled icing on fruit cake, decorated with delicate piped flowers and lacework, was the norm for things like wedding cakes. It was a process that would take weeks or months to do, painstaking intricate work. Fresh cakes with the buttercream frosting were for children's parties and novelties. It all changed very quickly when the fashion changed to using the wedding cake as dessert instead of something to keep, and the old style fruit cakes disappeared very quickly.
The new footstools are a touch small for a cat bed, but Miss Meow is giving it her best shot
