I need to write my to do list for tomorrow. I wish I could just write 'lie facedown until everything goes away' but I cannot.

Maybe I shouldn't have written 2,200 words and two chapter commentaries (another 4,600 words) today. I did not think that through! But I also was so excited to get the commentaries done today.

I'm hoping to finish an Ice Plague chapter tomorrow. Chapter 26. We march on steadily to the end of the entire series.

Here are my feline friends.


A completely normal pose.



( MOAR )

Gosh it's been a while since I've posted photos here of the cats!

I do share them on Instagram a fair bit, but often into my story these days, so they vanish in 24 hours. And I've been remiss in actually just...engaging in the pleasure of looking over my photos of them because it fills me with love all over again and then I go harass them.

(Maybe is currently sleeping right next to me).

They're older now. Maybe's heading towards 11 (or is...?) and Moet is marching towards 17.


Alert




( And of course, many more. )

Moet is doing very well for an elderly cat,
he is spry and kittenish,
playful and bolshy.
He has some 'I am an old man and you have to do what I say'
and gets annoyed when we don't.
Also yes, he still jumps to the top of the 6" cat tower happily.


Note to self: stop getting doona covers with black on them.

Inquiring minds need to know.

Currently Maybe's nickname is 'Gremlin.'

Moet's current nickname is 'It's Not Your Dinner Time.'





( And many mooooore )

I love culinary adventures. Mostly enjoying the fruits of what other people make, but there's some dishes of mine in here too.

Om nom nom.


Green Tea Tiramisu (I did not make this, lol - from Zensaki in Perth!)

My glossy girl is next,
along with some dual Moet/Maybe shots,
since they decided to be extremely cute together.
I think this is the first time I've taken more photos of Moet than Maybe for a while, but my camera goes wherever it feels like.


Watching the world with eyes that go an uncanny colour in direct sunlight.




( Maybe is a half-bengal, special needs rescue cat. )

Thoroughly chuffed with these photos,
mostly because they captured a really sweet and lovely moment between all of us this morning, and Moet was in an extremely charming and gently playful mood.
So for once,
the majority of photos are of Moet! :)


Now kiss!




( Moet soliciting play with both Maybe and myself on a warm summer's morning. )

Not really. It's not really an extravaganza.
It's like... 8 or 9 photos actually.
That's not really an extravaganza.
But I like the word.
Extravaganza.





( More under the cut! )

Someone wanted to come snuggle on my lap,
Moet isn't a major lap snuggler,
but every now and then he gets tired of simply sitting next to me
and he balls up in my lap instead,
usually while I'm trying to work.
I took advantage of that today.

I have decided to get back into proper Photos of the Day in the new year. I sort of lost my way a bit, because Instagram is so easy, but I like getting out the camera and actually taking 'proper' amateur photos. So I've started doing that again. I stopped because I also started feeling like my life was really boring and... uninteresting. That's been something I've struggled with all year. But I've decided that even if I spent every day inside, it is possible to find something that at the very least - I like or find interesting - once a day... so that's what I'm going to do. Or try to do.
My favourite subjects are of course my cats. Lol.
