Good morning everyone from yet another survived night into another day of possibilities in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of gochujang chicken stir fry came in at 5.2 this am

We have our youngest grandchild with us each Thursday and Friday so yesterday was feeding squirrels in the park and then even more walking and pram pushing as the defiant little blob decided that afternoon naps were not on the cards just now. Hopefully she will be in a better frame of mind over that today.

Mrs Miggins has decided upon a Skoda Kodiaq to replace her Landrover - it’s the lure of the 7 seats - although one of them will be redundant for the foreseeable future.

Another quick sketch this morning as koffy calls.

Have the very best Friday that you can - stay happy - don’t watch the news and refrain from buying newspapers - it’s depressing.

Great bamboo leaves @dunelm

No news or newspapers? No problem, both a waste of time and misinformation...

You have a good day.

Charlies is a smart navy blue it can fasten over his entire body but for obvious reasons it's only fastened half way...I have some photos might post one later but I won't mention it to him... not sure I like the thought of matching outfits he looks so cute in his but not sure I could 'rock' the same look...thanks.
I would like to see a photo of his fetching outfit @HarryBeau !
Matching outfits? That would be interesting...

Thanks Krystyna he was back there yesterday and now has a very fetching cat baby gro to wear...the wound is looking better and he's tolerated his coat...throughout it he has been very good humoured but is desperate to go out...another check up this morning fingers crossed.
So pleased to hear that the wound is getting better and he is tolerating his babygro.

Good morning all. 9/11 has come round again overshadowed in many ways by COVID this year. Perhaps the memory of that seemingly apocalyptic day fading slightly as the sun continued to rise may give some succour to those anxious over these times. No reading here as, unlike Micky Flanagan, I'm not yet feeling the need to be back in the game. Have a spiffing day chums with or without lashings of ginger beer.

Charlie really is Mister Cool lounging on the laptop trying to prevent his photo being published...I have explained it is in the public interest...

Aww...he is so cute @HarryBeau

It looks a bit like the body jacket and harness (Popeye says straitjacket...) I have on Popeye for his walks around my garden. Popeye sends his commiserations to Charlie...

Charlie is being remarkably relaxed about it could it be the tin of tuna he gest all to himself when he gets home from the vet...who knows?

Both very well executed, love the blend of colours.
