My youngest just stopped by with his girlfriend, and we had a nice chat. He misses being here, but won't come home until there is no danger to me. He also told me to stop painting... that him and his younger sister are going to come and paint when they get a chance. I'm still going to paint, but I'm leaving some for them.

I'm sorry to hear of your scare. Glad it wasn't the virus and that you're doing better. Rest and feel well soon.

Happy Tuesday, all!   Stinking hot here already.

Hi all,

It's hot here too but a light breeze is making it enjoyable. I was supposed to plant the tomatoes in they're final homes but got lazy and decided to bake instead.

I'm making more Gâteaux battus and I'll send one to my cousin in Grenoble. That little roast she's expecting need to be feed! 

Hope you're all having a nice day

When I woke up a "present" was waiting for me right by my bedroom door... It seemed like Minion just gobbled a mouse last night and pucked it back in one piece eeewww

Not too hot here, but mostly sunny with very little breeze. Currently around 15°C (59°F), but feeling quite a few degrees higher in the sun.

I actually worked up a bit of a sweat earlier, digging and levering up the roots of one of the bushes I cut down when I was clearing the garden in March/April. Tough little bugger it was, but it yielded eventually. There's several more need dealing with as well, but I'll not tackle them all at once; as they say: Rome wasn't built in  day.  

You are always welcome to send a gâteau or two to the west of Ireland if you want, clo.

They do say that if a cat leaves you a present like that, it's a sign that they consider you to be part of their family, and that the gift is a suggestion that you should maybe learn to hunt for yourself. It's a big thing for a cat to do that for a human: shows it trusts you.

I erected a trellis for my runner beans in my new garden over the weekend, and planted out the seedlings yesterday evening.

This photograph was taken a few minutes ago, and they appear to have survived the transplanting.

I finished painting the far side of the house, and even got a section done on the south side. My plants are all watered and fertilized... I mix up Miracle-Gro and water them with it every day for three or four days... and then once every week or ten days.

It wasn't a hunt gift it was a PUKE gift. He hunt and gobbled the mouse and then puke it army bedroom door with a mix of half chew kibbles  that's even nastier than a hunt gift. A hunt gift is usually just dead here it was gobble/chew!

Perhaps he has been studying you, and seen that you normally don't eat mice, so decided to give you the present that way to let you know that they can be eaten..?
