I bet she went there to see an exposition:
there is
"Cranach et son temps"
Sous le vent de l’Art Brut Collection Charlotte Zander
"Tous cannibales"

I would see all 3.

I astutely interpret this as indicating "I'm bored and the other 2 cats won't play with me" - so out comes the magic red dot on the floor, and I finish breakfast.
The so-called 4-month old kitten now weighs in at over 6 pounds.

I've thought about the critter cams as well. a couple of years ago I would have given my eye teeth for a critter cam to find out how one of my horses was always getting out

I've invented "big screen cat TV" - I started feeding squirrels on the deck so the cats can sit at the deck door and watch (and bounce off the glass) - they'll sit for hours watching the squirrels come & go! The squirrels don't care.

my next project after the garden is well started is a "catio'

Gathering the energy to go to the gym. Last night I had too many pernods. I fell asleep and can't remember conversations I had with bloke when he came home. I feel crap! I think I may have to have another sober week.

They look too much like snails....

On the other hand, anything in enough garlic and butter...

Yikes! I'd run for the hills, too!

I don't think they are any worse than a gopher/ground hog or maybe a black squirrel.
The following isn't a better picture but it is a close up

They are kinda cute once you get over the "Rat with a bushy tail" thing

Remember in "Ice Age" I think thats what they were going for

Spoiler:

They are harmless kinda remind me of field mice we used to chase as kids.

feel free if you find any. I felt the same (hard to climb all the stairs) afterward

(that explains the 2nd breakfast and a big mug of tea I'll have in 10 mins.)

Ah! Shadow would have a heart attack if I got the bubble wrap out! Although she's light enough that she can walk on it without it popping, which is entertaining when the claws come out!! Oh I am such a bad kitty momma!

In other news, I am defragging my laptop, packing for my trip next weekend and posting from my blackberry

A Glimpse of Stocking? Shocking!

P.G. Wodehouse

http://wodehouse.thefreelibrary.com/

From Wikipedia:
Wodehouse took a modest attitude to his own works. In Over Seventy (1957) he wrote: "I go in for what is known in the trade as 'light writing' and those who do that – humorists they are sometimes called – are looked down upon by the intelligentsia and sneered at."

However, he also lightly taunted his critics, as in the introduction to Summer Lightning.[22]

"A certain critic—for such men, I regret to say, do exist—made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names'. He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha; but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have outgeneralled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy."

beppe · 04-09-2011, 06:50 AM

It is so hot, already 30°C and it is only 12.37 legal time.

After a lengthy car wash and water works I put on shorts and one of those sleevless t-shirt. we call them canottiere americane.
Wife touched me and said something that might have contained attractive SOB and snake charmer.

Raw ham and melon for lunch. Ham from Parma and melon from Guadalupe (pusher sweared on its quality). Frig the zero km paradigm. Just for to day. to morrow asparagus, from right around the corner.
