Bailey & Zia in my study.


12.30am and down in my study with a cup of tea doing blog stuff on the desktop.

Went out for a smoke on the front porch and when I came back inside kitties have taken over my chair!

Zia & Bailey all lovey-dovey.

Yesterday was a busy day!

Yesterday was a busy day with Sprocket arriving for a stay with us which required pre-visit planning as to how we manage Sir the kitties and let's not forget Speckles.The passage way gate is working well to keep the kitties confined to the back of the house and last night they got their freedom back as Sprocket slept with me downstairs in the study.

Feliway Calming Diffusers

We didn't see this coming; Bailey is stressed with the introduction of Zia which has activated the normally dormant Herpes virus. We have been treating his eyes for a few weeks now and he seems to be improving - fingers crossed.

Sprocket has arrived!!

Sprocket AKA Sir knows where he is and he will soon settle down - horizontally.

BigW clearance $8 each.

Meadowbrook Mansion - Sprocket visit


Sprocket AKA Sir will be arriving tomorrow for a few days while his human carer is off camping.

Heated throw rug very popular


With regard to my TV recliner I'm losing ground and being pushed towards the sofa! I came up with this idea to act as a decoy, that's Pixie's (RIP)heated bed plugged in and turned on and yes... the boy took the bait! We need to do some more fine tuning, Zia ended up in there as well so Bailey overheated and now back on my seat.

Going, going... gone


Bailey often does this keeps stretching and slowly ends up on my feet.

IWatching V with the kitties


My heated throw rug is attracting the kitties like blow flies to a smelly wheelie bin with open lid on a hot summer afternoon.

Garden Sentry 12V-13

We still have water leaks so back to the workshop!

The bottom section that connects to the hose is leaking! These barb connectors are used with poly pipe so we'll swap out that bit of hose.

AFL On-Demand match replays


If you like the footy but can't afford or not prepared (like me) to pay for a rip-off Foxtel or Kayo subscription then the AFL On-Demand match replays might be of interest to you.

He likes water ???

Samsung Flow - WiFi file transfer

Samsung Flow - transferring files over WiFi between phone and desktop.

I am always connecting my phone to the desktop via USB to transfer files, so much so that I worried about the wear and tear on the phone USB connector.
