I should have known that the excellent NetNewsWire 5.1 would allow me to ‘Always Use Reader View’ for a feed where I need it. 🥳 Thanks @brentsimmons
Window cleaning didn’t take long (outsides only). It needs a good quality sheepskin and blade, a dash of water and a drop of dishwashing liquid. A vast improvement!
Window cleaning is on the agenda today. After this week’s storm it’s like looking through a fog. It’s probably a mix of salt and sand.
Our dogs don’t like it when the grass in their yard gets too long. Perhaps it tickles their bottoms… It also makes it harder to find and pick up 💩. So today was weedeating day. Oshi helped by digging a hole (not visible in photo). 🐶
Past me was pretty smart and bought all the episodes of Rizzoli and Isles. I’d forgotten that they’re pretty fun. A good thing to watch at the tail end of this spring storm where it’s still too cold and windy to be outside doing things.
Hilarious, when all 3 telcos here don’t take the racist s**t 1 customer wants to throw:
Uh oh, they’ve used the word “normal”. Christmas decorations with snowmen in summer is normal. … A language spoken continuously … for hundreds of years is most certainly not normal.
While looking for something else I found this pigeon photo from May 2004. 🐦
Hey @macgenie Pheromones Defeat Death Ray! was an excellent episode of Voyager Revisited. I’m not sure I fully appreciated Bride of Chaotica when I watched it and may not have seen it twice. I’ll remedy that soon. 😀
Given up on trying to sleep while the house shakes and the wind roars. I was having weird dreams when I did sleep anyway. Trembling dogs on the bed with me. Spring storms!
Heh, watching (and laughing heaps) the black comedy Avenue 5 📺:
On board the interplanetary cruise ship a momentary loss of artificial gravity … sends the vessel a few degrees off course. It’s estimated it will take the ship 3 years to return to Earth
It stars Hugh Laurie.
Apparently today’s grooming session has caused Sasha to feel a little blurry. 🐶
Decades ago mum mentioned something from her childhood called a “flower lee pone”. She couldn’t recall more about it. ❓❓Mystery solved today courtesy of a crossword: “flower Epergne”:
An epergne may be used … as a designer object to hold candles, flowers or ornaments
Tomorrow is grooming day for the dogs so today Oshi and Sasha had their ears and tail brushed. ‘Before’ photo. 🐶
It is an absolute mystery to me why I read Driftwood and Death (Innisstead Sands Cozy Mysteries Book 1) to the end and why I didn’t get my money back. Unbelievably silly! 📚
No author info to be found — a 10 year old perhaps?
Last night we enjoyed Netflix ☛ Enola Holmes: 🎬
…the youngest sibling in the famous Holmes family. … a free-wheeling, strong-willed, and boundary-pushing young woman … extremely intelligent, observant, and insightful, and she defies the social norms for women of the time.
We visited Wellington for a friend’s birthday brunch. One thing I do not miss at all is battling the wind to simply make progress walking along the street.
Grrr, logic failure! For the last two weeks I’ve been gradually moving dog meal times in readiness for Sunday’s change to Daylight Savings Time. We’ll put the clocks forward 1 hour. I’ve been moving their mealtimes in the other direction. 🕒 🤯
Pizza for lunch!
The river at the footbridge was muddy, full and swiftly flowing after the last few days rain in the hills. Volume up for the birds.
So cool! Track tohorā southern right whales on their journeys.
this particular population of tohorā have recovered well from whaling from the early 1800s when numbers plummeted to as low as 40 from an estimated 30,000. By 2009, the population had recovered to around 2000.
