Of course not luv, of course notJapanese Erotic Art - so not quite what I had expected.

Thanks @ianpspursWonderful art @dunelm and stellar post. I'm hoping you really do make a low card A and W cake. That would be so "now." While I'm here I must thank God for a sublime few minutes on the exercise bike - which can now play chunes (built in speakers in the console for some workouts you can buy) from a really old ipod shuffle - thanks to this. Stick Elsie's food where no sun shines, exercise with chunes is the best part of T2 management for me.
Oops, for you Genn, whenever I may find you
I think that is how Archie feels. He is 15 which is really old for a chocolate Labrador. It is lovely that both Popeye and Archie are still enjoying life.He doesn't want to leave me, and has no intention of passing the baton on to another cat
Thank you @ianpspurs - take it easy on that bike, they sometimes take you where you didn’t want to goWonderful art @dunelm and stellar post. I'm hoping you really do make a low card A and W cake.

Thank you @gennepher, glad that it soothed you.I love this @dunelm
It has a beautiful delicacy. A gentleness. I need that this morning.
Lovely bright colours - like a mad psychedelic party inside a bee hive with Richie Blackmore on his rainbow guitar. Difficult times for Popeye - he sounds just like my dad, all skin and bones, still doddering about and getting fed up if anyone offers help.Fbg 6.6
Creative stuff this morning. I took a photo of a huge ball of turquoise 't' shirt strips for crocheting. Actually it's very useful for many jobs, including tying stuff up in the garden.
Played with it in Snapseed. It started as under 1MB in size, but by the time I finished it was over 9MB in size. So I have had to reduce it for here...
I was just playing with it until I stopped.
Popeye needs a lot of attention at the moment. We have had so many miracles this last year and a half with his health, and him 'coming back' each time. But he is 29 and a half...
He is doing his best trying to stick to his routines, doesn't want me to help however long it takes him (but obviously I am hovering over him).
Last night he managed to haul himself on my bed (he doesn't want lifting no matter how hard it is for him). Waited for me to do a couple of things on my iPad. I put that down. Then he wobbled over, settled himself under my chin for the guarding me all night position. I actually fell asleep. But each time he moved his body or head, I woke up and checked on him. I have long given up worrying about waking up with a dead cat under my chin. It has not happened yet. Then he woke me up with his paw this morning. He wanted to get off the bed to go to the bathroom. So I guided him off the bed and his wobbly way to his cat tray.
Then he wanted to go out to the potting shed. An emphatic NO from me. I would never find him if he crawled to a dark place in my overgrown garden. He knows I work on the iPad this time of day in my bed. So he wobbled slowly his way to the couch in the front room, managed to haul himself on it, and settled to sleep. Then I thought. I have a portable aromatherapy unit. I put rose and jasmine in. And placed it on the window ledge next to him. He has settled into a totally relaxed sleep.
I am in my bed drinking coffee now. And I can see my sparrows having an absolutely wild party at the feeders. They are so beautiful to watch, with all their aerial dances and play fights.
I am okay. This time is going to come for Popeye oneday. Popeye has come out of this before. Well I am not quite okay. I'm doing the caged tiger bit from room to room, and not a clue what I went in for.
So a creative something in Snapseed, whatever it is, until I am satisfied with it.
Now Jade stray cat is at the window asking for food...

Wonderful looking cake. A triumph darling, a triumph. Enjoy.@ianpspurs - just out of the oven - we have packed loaf tins so I plonked it into a small roasting tin

9.10am how did I sleep so late? FBG 6.5
Too many biscuits again. If MrSlim didn't need them that cupboard would be empty as I would not buy cakes and biscuits for myself. So much easier when they are not always around.
Christmas stress is mostly self generated, I have been known to have Xmas panic in August some years. However now its the unavoidable ageing of parents and auntie that are pushing my buttons. Is this their last Christmas?
Then there is the work on the house.
Can't really push roof work any further back. We get far too much water ingress already and the really wet weather hasn't started yet. Ideally the roof would have been finished by now. Every dry day is a gift. There is no way it's going to stay dry for eight or ten weeks and one big storm could do a lot of damage to a very fragile roof.
Not so worried about the electrician, will eventually connect up the lights in the salon, and the heating for upstairs, I suppose we could manage without those and continue to use an extension lead, for light in the salon. At least we have the wood burner fitted now, so will be warm.
@gennepher hugs to you. Am sure Popeye appreciates the love you show in the care you give him.
