Good morning!!!!

Back home from the Valley B&B, AKA MIL's house. She sent us home with plenty of food and cookies, and a warm cherry pie, which I have already indulged.
Cats did fine on the trip home, did have to grab Pebbles out from under a bed before leaving, she tried to stay.
Traffic was surprisingly light tonight, as opposed to very heavy on way down friday. Slight sprinkle of rain the whole way home, .2" here.
David, power was off at MIL's, it didn't really affect the Roast Beef dinner, it was very good.
Need to pick up Honda in the morning when the shop opens, so son can take it to work.

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 14.9C and it's presently 27.2C, lightly overcast (which is deceiving = UV is extreme @ 10) and fairly calm.

Yesterdays Church was lovely and one of my guests came with me. Arvo was a trip out to Pyengana for lunch at "The Pub in the Paddock", followed by a trip out to Binalong Bay for some sightseeing.

Late night (2330) for me waiting for Penelope the Pussybeast to come in for the night. All of these guests make her very shy... and I've got another guest arriving tomorrow.

That's about it, take care all.

Poured first cup of coffee. 34° with light rain this morning. Heading to 44° with partly cloudy skies. .76" rain since yesterday morning. Did get a conserve energy day in yesterday. Installed 3 WiFi lightbulbs in living room lamps. Now have control of the light with my iPad. No plans for today. Hope to get a Sassy walk in today when thing dry up a little.
Put new suet cakes in feeders. Small piece fell out. Did take long for someone to find it.

Good morning, the low is 42 and going down to 39°F. Wind ESE 11 mph. Periods of rain mixed with snow. Been raining since Saturday.

I am 'up' way too early for a do nothing day. The good thing is that I can go back to bed.

One of the cats woke me up, calling for something. So I got up and put out some fresh dry food for them (they had lots of food, just not fresh). He went back downstairs and I just heard him calling again and then he stopped. All three cats (1 queen and 2 toms) are fixed.Whichever he was looking for must have appeared. All quiet on the home front now. He was probably looking for his buddy Tyson to sleep with.
When we acquired Tyson we got his sister Belle, too. They were both feral and just freshly weaned. They would play together and Tyson would get quite rough with Belle and elicit a squawk out of her often, so we named him Tyson after Mike Tyson the boxer. Belle was a long haired white cat (white as snow) with some orange. She is no longer with us. I think she became lunch for one of the many predators around here.

I guess it is back down the rabbit hole for me.

Have a safe day all

good morning all
a surprisingly warm morning, 55 out now, pretty much high of day.
New year will be coming in like a deep freeze, temps staying below freezing for full ten day.
I'm going to take advantage of the warm air today and try to stay outside.

1950 for me, always a good year since easy to tell how old you are when one gets "forgetful"...

had a last minute get together with more family late yesterday, brother's daughter up from Charleston with her two boys.
went over to his house and saw the boys had grown another foot. They are 5 and 8 and full of energy.

no plans for today, fuel gauge for 2024 running on E
