Lying in bed trying not to cough*. The struggle is real.

*At least until 🤠 is well and truly asleep.

@ash dinner out would be cheaper, but alas no fireworks... 🤣

@ash I nearly booked a place to stay for New Year's Eve today.... Well, if the year was only 11 months long I would have. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ash :( oh, the disappointment from misplaced anticipation...

OTOH - a full month of anticipation to go!

Rest day continues. Cat assistance continues.

Pi performed his 'lap' duties earlier, it's Missy's turn currently.

@littlescraps I've had him forever! I just looked it up and they are from 1997, so he's nearing 30 years old. Which just makes me feel older as he came as a promotion with something - I can't recall whether it was a work or personal computer though.

I'm on a rest day and the cats are sticking close to help me.

I'm having a rest day and the cats have been sticking close to me regardless of which room I'm in. But not too close because I'm prone to cough loudly at random junctures.

#MissyMouse is on duty right now. #PiTheBengal is behind a curtain looking out the window, conversing with the birds.

We're currently in Byron Bay at a holiday house.
It feels like it's sub 0° (didn't stop us from having ice cream though!)

The only heating in this place is a tiny oil fin heater, plus the stove top - 🤠 has skillz!

I suggested just leaving the fridge door open.

@Ask_aubry well that's definitely a "take".

We're going away tomorrow for a long weekend (Byron Bay - family time), so I dropped the cats up at 🤠's house for oldest son to look after.

Backing into his driveway I managed to knock over a wheelie bin.

The thump acted as an alert and the garage door opened to reveal 2 laughing residents.

I declared 1) it's dark and 2) they don't have a doorbell so I improvised.

No real damage done except to my ego (no more joking about 🤠's lack of reversing abilities).
