Dear
There should be a series of photos of the local neighborhood, since we took a walk in part for that purpose, and to grab lunch. But I forgot my camera, remembered about two blocks out, and decided to try again later.
Borrowed the neighbor's mower to minimize the verge grass. Took a lot more effort than I expected, or was prepared for. Did a thoroughly crappy job, but soon there will be patches cleared to grow wildflowers, and now it does not look neglected exactly. More ill treated. A few square feet at a time. Hacked back the hedge as well, epitome of dead wood in there.
Moby has me pinned down again. I think he likes when we are here alot. Had me held down when I woke this morning, took a fair bit of shoving to get him to move. When I sat in the music room for a moment as the kettle boiled, he was on me for a good petting before I'd properly sat down. Still amazes us, as this is such new behaviour since January. Nice, but a bit much sometimes, and we don't want to shove him away too much.
These three days off work in a row have been a blessing.
The other site is still being sorted out, a weekend glitch. But they are local, so a call tomorrow should do the trick. Probably going to be a bit less stable, since they make their money on commercial concerns, not small personal blogs. Which is, I suspect, what is going on with oogle/blugger. They don't want us clogging up their bandwidth, and are trying to get us to go away.
Maybe I'll head out with the camera later. It was a long walk this morning, though. And lunch was disappointing. Hoping for better from dinner we make ourselves. Got to chat with our neighbors, and invite her to the plant sale in May, since she doesn't drive. She was enthusiastic. It'll be nice to have company. Oh, D would go with me if I asked, but it is really not his thing. He picked the colors for the shades, and knew best where to hang the penguin, but anything outdoors, and he gets that blank look that in some men would come out as a "yesdear." He doesn't think that way, and would never say that, but it's the same brainwave pattern.
Seriously, there will be photos later. But the cat's asleep, and I hate to wake him, since he only gets about 18 hours a day...

Moby is looking after you...he reckons you obviously need the rest after all this rushing around moving AND doing Stuff to the new home!!
I planted potato seedlings a few weeks ago, and these last two nights the temperature has dipped below freezing. I hope they'll be okay.
I did not have three days off work in a row.
"...knew best where to hang the penguin..."
:)
gz,
He's a good household god.
Phil,
I'm going to put out potatoes next week.
Geo,
Yeah. Well, one of them.
