Ugh, did not sleep. Today is going to be tough. At least things are still quiet at work from the holidays.

For sure! And a trumpet for pud.

The cicadas are finally coming out here, love their chirps. Now it's proper summer.

Brilliant

Genius!

I suppose at some point I should take the Christmas tree down..

Kinda shitty response from the council, but good on the people who took the time to get it out of there.

Does look like a real design flaw though, for animals getting stuck like this, but also for rubbish accumulating there over time.

I wouldn't expect one, but a bath was on my tick-list for when we bought this place. It's so nice to have the option in winter.

Nah, the main tank isn't accessible to them, just the fountain bit, and a shallow bowl at the top. No more kitchen puddles!

Got our cats one of those drinking water fountains - one cat is completely indifferent, but the other looooooooooooves it. She used to play with her water when it was in a bowl, dipping her paws in and flicking it everywhere, which was cute but quite messy.. So I recommend it for any others out there with cats that play with their water more than drinking it.

Snow leopard! That's pretty cool.

I haven't been to a zoo in ages. Did the animals seem happy enough? The last ones I went to were overseas, and I found them pretty depressing tbh, but I hope the ones in NZ have better standards.

Oooof, yeah at least this 'present' was just cat biscuits that were likely just gobbled up too quickly, rather than anything that was recently alive. Small mercies!

Merry Christmas!

The cats really upped their present game this year - a puke in the laundry, and a puke on the coffee table (looks like it was gifted while running, given the impressive spread). I'm not very grateful. Good thing they're cute!

Our family does the big get together on Christmas Eve, so will be heading out the door soon. I usually make a certain kind of salad, and a dark chocolate mousse as well. This year I thought I'd try a raspberry one, that didn't work quite as intended (tastes nice but the texture isn't quite right), so I (impatiently and in a rush) went back to the good old chocolate one.

But since I was impatient, I messed it up and there are chocolate lumps all through it. Fail. That was yesterday, so this morning I made the third batch, which turned out fine like normal (since I was in a better frame of mind and actually paying attention to what I was doing).

So, long story short - I have vast quantities of b-grade mousse in the fridge, so that will be what we're eating for the next few days. Mousseaggedon.

First day off, yay! I celebrated with a pain au chocolat for breakfast. No sleep in though, headed into town to pick up one last gift before things get busy. Now I'm kinda at a loss as to what to do with the rest of the day. Might just chill out and watch stuff. Maybe make some muffins.

So cute! And nice that their numbers are coming up enough for this sort of thing to even happen.

Two more work days to get through! Motivation is non-existent at this point. Hopefully the next couple of days are cruisey.

Agree with you on the toy thing. It's so weird and unnecessary.

I love DnB, saw Concord Dawn a few times back in the day. Couldn't do it now though. I've figured out I'm not a nightowl, and being in my late 30s, am lurching towards decrepitness. Also insomnia, I'd be screwed for a few days after. At least I had some good times out all night when I was a youngun.

Hope you had a good night despite the sleep disruption!

And it's going to get worse with the change of government, particularly given the way David Seymour has been talking about water, farming, and deregulation.
