I was only joking earlier. Of course I know it is Friday.  

So here's my week 28 (of 52) monochrome photograph:

I know you think everything is about you Clo  I was toasting the baby

At least you weren't roasting it, Albert. Which it looks as though Clo might be thinking of doing...

Finish! It's only took my half a day to see the lining *wips forehead* but the result is forth it if I can say so myself.

  I have to remind myself frequently what day it is.  They all blend together at the moment.    

Love the photo!

I've posted those pictures on Facebook and an old friend of my mom wants to buy one for her daughter!

Tonight were having

Shrimp Bruschetta Risotto

with Asiago and grape tomatoes

I made a cottage pie sans peas and carrots. I used mushrooms, onions and corn. I am using up things from my freezer before I leave for mum's. I only ate half, I'll do leftovers on Monday.

I like it. There's so much to see. At first glance it looks as if the bottom of the string is nestled or merged into the wall.

Thanks, bro.

The two strings of onions are normally hanging in the ground floor of the old cottage from nails set in the wooden joists that support the floorboards in the upper story. Because it is so dark inside, I decided to temporarily hang one of them from a spike set in the wall outside the cottage to take the photograph.

Well, it's now tomorrow (Saturday) over here in Ireland, so I'll wish you all good night.

Have several Zoom sessions when I get up, so I might not put in much of an appearance here (or maybe even none at all)

Thistle is staring at me and pouting. He's annoyed with me because he didn't like what I served for his evening meal. He gets a dry chicken and rice based kibble twice a day. In the morning he gets a spoonful of yogurt with it. In the evening I usually add some chicken broth, sometimes I'll add some of the juice from whatever meat I'm having. Once or twice a week I'll add a prepacked portion of Cesar Simply Crafted shredded roast chicken. He had a package with his meal last night and thinks he should have it again tonight. He refused to eat the kibble with just broth. I refuse to give in. What is really getting to him is I haven't given him the dried sweet potato chews he usually has as his evening treat or horror of horrors didn't share any of the molasses cookie I had as my evening treat. You don't eat dinner you don't get treats. He's not going to starve. I guess he's resigned himself to doing without. I just got a couple kisses to my knee and he's curled up in my lap. My dog is spoiled.

So is mine, but we have to be firm.   I don't know if I mentioned this, but there are four new kittens in my barn. They just came out of hiding in the last few days. So, two of them were just on the back veranda, and I managed to pick one up. The little bugger bit and scratched me... but I kept holding him till he calmed down. Then I took him in the barn and let him go. He was a little freaked, but he was okay. I don't know where the other one went, but I heard him meowing, and saw mama cat, so I left them alone. She'll take care of him. One of the kittens is white with big grey polka dots... so freaking cute...
