I would love to be in the Southern Hemisphere right now - we’re hitting 95-100 daily:-(Good morning everyone
APologies for not posting here. I have spent the last 2 weeks in hospital and am on recovery duties at the moment,
Lovely morning here today - cold overnight (near freezing) but warming up into clear blue sky and a balmy mid 50's - might even make 60F.
This morning's photo is a jigsaw puzzle (not sure what you call them in the US). We named her Gertrude the cat.
It wasn't a terribly difficult puzzle - and one we really enjoyed doing. Note the two kittens in the background.
My ideal sort of house, incidentally. Lots of character.

Our last cat (sadly I had to put her down in 2012) was a long haired tortoise-shell. She had a...ahem.. difficult personality. I think in the entire 15 years of her life she sat on my lap twice. She was most definitely my wife's cat - even though I was responsible for making her suppers and the like. She did her best to scratch me anytime i had to pick her up, and would randomly have a swipe at me as I passed her by - just for good measure. She grew impossible not to love.
Visits to the vets were a fraught affair - we worked out that trapping her in the bathroom room, a swift pair of (leather gloved) hands and head first into her transport cage was the only way to safely navigate those furry paws of death. The Vets were never that thrilled to see her..
Oddly - she also loved a good fight with my wife (wife's arm safely wrapped up in a thick dressing gown). All good natured and she was always better behaved for it.
She never caught a bird in her life, although tried many many times. Not one of life's great hunters. But we appreciated the spirit. The Magpies gave her curry.
We haven't had a cat since - long over due - but like Harry Potter - firmly believe the wand chooses the wizard. One will turn up when ready.
I hope everyone has a super day, filled with love laughter and happiness, and Gertrude says hi!
Get well Soon ! Cute story.. We also have a couple of weaponized kitties that hate the trip to the vet. The vet showed us how to tango with them at these precarious times by handling them by the scruff of the neck and placing them into the crate. It doesn’t hurt them and they go limp and feet first into the crate..Good morning everyone

Rando! Welcome to my thread and thank you for posting. It might not be Montana landscapes wild lupins or sunsets and safe harbours, but I I can identify with the cracked CD case.Noticed a small issue with my copy of this disc recently. So I rebought it along with a few other discs all currently impregnated with fragments after being scraped off a delivery spear along with the rest of this morning's mail.
Penetration was such it passed through this and one more before impaling a double cover and just catching the edge of final disc cracking it.

Oh gosh - that’s not good!Somewhere before completing it's journey in my hands. This package was speared with a sharp object using enough unrelenting mechanical force to destroy three discs sealed inside four layers of protection.

simply gorgeous! Serenity defined.I have, dabbled in quite a few things including ways to play with discs and files. Streaming is certainly something I've enjoyed for a number of years.
This should be closer to your theme I interrupted with "audio fun."
