Well it happened. 
Pretty kitty has a new nickname. 
 

Her good cat name is Lizzy

 

When the little ball of fur mis behaves it is

LIZARD. 

 

 

 

Meet Lizard. 
Playing clawing curtains 

Time for second pedicure. 

It’s over a hot air return- the curtains probably billow enticingly. She’s so cute, and they’re just curtains! 😁

"Inventory" 😘 --

 

@jagsfan, Mimi, how are you and Dick doing?

 

@singinalot, Crystal, how is your new work place?

 

@LucasLikesToCruise, long time no "sea" 🌷

 

You are an amazing hostess!

So it’s probably an iPad problem, which is what I’m using.

I had have trouble. I love Radio’s reports, so it’s frustrating.

I can’t speak to cheese, but for wine, you hand it over, it’s marked with your details, and you pick it up just before you debark. The security booth is where you get back on the ship.

Her company has the worst health insurance coverage I have ever seen, and deductibles and co-pays are astronomical

How much maternity leave will she get?

You must have city sewer...if you only knew.......🤣

Yes, yes I do!

I’m finding the septic tank discussion strangely fascinating, and slightly horrifying.

I’m super picky about chicken, to the point that I rarely order it in a restaurant.  I just don’t feel they clean all the yucky stuff (we call them chicken “oogies”) off like I do at home

I thought I was the only one! My husband eats through everything- fat, gristle, tendons…🤢

I'm not sure I ever mentioned this but Thor has to be the coolest pet name ever.

 

Next pet I have will be named Thor, even if its just a goldfish. 😃

Thanks!

He’s my son’s dog, but my Dad had a German Shepherd named Thor, so when James leaned that, Thor had to be Thor.

The cats are hoping that he’ll be gone soon, but not until Christmas. He’s actually a really nice dog, but the cats don’t think there is any such thing.

I think I’m going to like it here.

Thor would like to play!

Tbh, I thought  everyone would be bored of my Sydney harbour/bridge/opera house/ferry photos -so pleased you still enjoy them.  Spring is around the corner and I appear to have recovered from the worst of the vertigo that had prevented me from going anywhere much in the last couple of months, so fingers crossed for more walks & a cruise over summer.

DD has booked a week in Queenstown, New Zealand to hike so if that goes ahead, will have them to share too.

No, never! You take lovely photos- I especially enjoy the flowers and birds. 
 

Since the majority of us are North American, I think we like to see other places, whether it’s England, Israel or Australia. 

Glad that the vertigo is resolving.

@harryfat1 congee?
 

Sorry, I don’t know how to isolate one photo for quoting!

Cheeseburgers and left over pizza would suite me just fine for breakfast.

Mmm, pizza for breakfast- it’s even good cold.

Baked beans are often served for breakfast in Canadian Forces messes.

My father, when he came from Scotland, wanted the slice of tomato which was often served for breakfast put on the grill. Apparently, it was a garnish, and that was impossible.

Have a great honeymoon cruise! And congratulations on tenure!
 

I love your reviews- you write extremely well.

Happy anniversary! I hope you have something nice planned for after the snorkeling trip!

No testing needed to enter Canada?

Just need to be vaccinated. If you’re flying, you could be selected for random testing, but you can continue on your journey.

No offense to amyone here but MAYBE it is time for Canada to join the first world countries?

I actually kind of like my country- it’s a little bit unCanadian to say this, but I’m proud of it. 
Most of us consider ourselves a first world country.

I’m so glad you started your cruise report early- let us know how the packing situation is. I know how to pack, but I can’t seem to actually 

As an ex-pharmacist, I totally agree about the OTCs!

Made Smash Burgers for Tonight with tomatoes from our Garden.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We tried smash burgers on Friday- they’re really good!
 

I was surprised at the cost of a cast iron griddle for the barbecue, but it’s cast iron- one of the kids can inherit it!

Fabulous start- your computer illiteracy doesn’t show at all!

Would be more intriguing if it was her daughter.

It was my daughter!
 

She enjoyed telling people that she was a hooker…in rugby.

Eat the meal, come back with nothing to clean up and THEN truly have the time to talk and relax. I know it's not the same experience and especially hard with very young children involved to consider going out.

But leftovers are the best part! Especially leftover turkey.

I am firmly in the non-paper plates camp. Although if someone was kind enough to invite me over, and served some of the food that has been pictured in the last several pages, paper is fine!

Does Gus usually try to get the birds? Any success? Hopefully not, but I know that’s what cats do

He has caught a chickadee. He’s pretty lazy, and well fed. Usually he naps under a hydrangea. He’s only allowed out it we’re in the backyard with- he doesn’t (or can’t) climb the fence.
