  1. On a lighter note (let's face it - almost anything is lighter...). But not any less shocking...

    This photo of a mouse was taken by a friend, in the cafeteria of the main hospital in Halifax, Canada! *

    More mice were apparently spotted by this friend at the emergency dept in the Infirmary.

    This is the same hospital where patients are advised against drinking or brushing teeth etc in water from the tap. The pipes are contaminated with Legionella.

    And the same one where patients are practically suffocating in summer heat as they can't put air conditioners on the floors due to concerns over air quality.

    I guess we should be grateful that Steven didn't come down with some disease from his two recent eye surgeries. And we are.

    *What also shocked me was that this friend was actually feeding it.

  2. Nice, though short walk on Miner's Marsh in the middle of Kentville with @stevenkennard this afternoon. Signs of spring are starting to appear. It was 20ºC (70ºF) so felt very warm. Can you see the goose on the little island? There were also red winged blackbirds and others.

  3. Hello Mastodon, it's about time I introduced myself instead of lurking!

    My name is Ellie and I live in the UK with my dog and long-suffering partner. I love #animals and work with #horses.

    My interests are #coffee #cars #35mmfilmphotography #art and of course my dog or anyone else's dog. I would love to find an #equestrian community here as well the #specialitycoffee people.

  4. I am going from the sublime to the ridiculous - from the tiny, delicate #hummingbird yesterday to the big and ... not pretty - #pileated #woodpecker posting today.
    This #bird makes a dreadful racket when it's drumming into the trees, vigorously creating huge holes.
    #Monday is a day for attacking the week like this bird, with enthusiasm, and maybe #coffee .
    Post on my #blog with more photos here:

  5. @ellie_made It's how things should work all the time! Service cannot continue, service gives a sensible amount of notice, the underlying (ahem) 'series of tubes' allows people to move to another service. #Simples #Web1.0

  6. I wanted a glass screen protector for my #galaxyS23Ultra that would fit well inside my Peak Design Everyday case. I use the PD system with that case and the Out Front phone holder for my bike as it is such a secure holder. Neither PD nor Whitestone Dome thought this would work, but the glass fits like a glove. I re registered my fingerprints and they work perfectly as long as my fingers aren't too dry. That's a winfor me!

  8. For #MusicMonday I would like to share this piece by
    Carlos Núñez (born 1971 in Vigo, Spain).

    Enjoy the energy.
    We saw him perform in 1996 in #StChartier festival in France. He was amazing. And so was the festival. There were #pipes and #chanters playing all night!
    He is a Galician musician. He plays #gaita, the traditional galician #bagpipe, and #recorders (flautas de pico).

  11. The Third-of-a-Pound Burger flop

    "Ah, fractions. Who needs 'em? Not burger devotees. According to Canadian news outlet CBC, the famous McDonald's Quarter Pounder burger once had a larger cousin, the Third-of-a-Pound Burger...."

    That's why it's a bad idea to argue online.

  15. Who loves her daddy then?
    (One minute video)

    Zaz certainly knows how to show her favourite human that she can't wait for him to come in. He had been out for all of 20 minutes.

    I can't upload the 1 minute video here, unfortunately. It sank without trace, almost, yesterday. So the link to watch the clip is here

  17. Who's hungry? Pangolin is letting me know she's ready for her second course. She always has to eat her meals in 2 parts, and so she has to let me know when it's time for the next. She's very polite. She is the chattiest of our 3, but quietly understated in her manner.
    Good day to all from Pangolin, Zaz, Badger, Steven, and me.

  18. Zaz on Her Tree Bed
    Zaz has always been more of a cliff cat than a cave one. So she was really happy when I took her heated pad out of the box and put it on the shelf. She surveys her kingdom from here, with her trusty puppy friend by her side.
    Happy Caturday to all who celebrate. Which must surely be everyone. See the post here:

  19. So @GertrudeZane asked how our Cornish Rex cats and Joni are doing. This was how Zaz responded:

    "Who wants to know? "
    Ha ha! We're all fine, thanks. Everyone is enjoying the sun. (That's not a snarl, by the way, that's a Miaow.)

  20. I've been a bit absent on here lately, as I've not been well. (Hopefully on the mend soon.)
    However, as you can see, I have lots of help with household chores. Zaz couldn't quite work out how to put up the laundry rack, though. I suggested she just stick to cleaning the dishes.

    Happy #Caturday everyone, from the gang here - Zaz, Pangolin, Badger and Joni (and Steven, of course).

  21. Sleep Tight
    If only we could all sleep as peacefully and soundly as a cat. If we could wake up as alert and ready for action as well, that would be a bonus. Zaz wishes everyone as good a night, and as sound and restful a sleep as you can manage. My gallery of cat photos can be seen here: elliekennard.ca/ekgallery/cats

  22. Last Dregs
    Zaz lives in a home where there are no dairy products, nor meat, but she has found her favourite tipple – hemp milk! She waits impatiently when she hears me stirring the milk jug before pouring out the measure, then has to lick the spoon (both sides) then the measuring cup. This treat comes second only to the pleasure of licking out the lentil pot! Happy Caturday all!

  23. Happy Caturday!
    Zaz was in a playful mood and decided she would try to move the camera lens. She hopes (and so do I) that you all have a lovely day, lying in the sun as she likes to do. If you want to browse more cat photos, my Cats gallery is on the site here.

  24. Happy Caturday all!

    Pangolin wishes we would turn on the wood stove so she could listen to her favourite music in a warm spot like she did last year.
    Patience, little Ping Pang, the parts for the repair should arrive soon, then we'll all be warm. Meanwhile, you, at least, have a heated bed to fall back on!
    I hope all #FediFriends have a peaceful, warm weekend.
