Oh… Melbcat is using the ’I need something’ door jump/bang and leading me to the back door. She wants to go outside in the sun but she’s going to get eaten alive by fleas if she does.

I can spray the garden with beneficial nematodes to eat the flea larvae but it’s $40 for an application, sometimes the bugs can just die in transit, and the visiting intruder cat is just going to bring more back in.

And if I set her little pipe frame cage back up I’m afraid he’s just going to approach it and they’ll punch on through the mesh.

Back to work tomorrow after a bit of a hiatus.

Over the last few days I managed to finish a few games and also binge Season 3 of Only Murders in the building.

It was a good watch and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for it.

Now just having the cricket on. I hope I can get to sleep at a decent time and sleep well as that’s been a roller coaster for me lately.

Also may have some minor sunburn on my hand as well after being out today for a bit.

Finally getting stuck into this spring cleaning today after completely failing to launch yesterday. I still have about 5 hours until my friend arrives and I'm doing very well! Taking a bourbon break (my first) but I think I'm well on track for time.

It was embarrassing how much dust was on things. I hadn't properly opened all the windows for a long time and that sunlight really highlighted how bad it was. Bit more tidying to do, rubbish and cardboard to take out and then I tackle the bathroom and the floors, then that'll do. Oh and make the bed with the sheets and pillowcases drying out on the balcony.

I’m a bit annoyed that I didn’t get bigger pots. The round carrots require less depth but are wider, so after thinning I’ll probably only get a couple. I really hate thinning.

But the pots have to be small and portable. I need to bring them in easily when needed and even raised beds would be a bit much. I’m trying to keep this low pressure and manageable

Tonight's that right, I forgot about that artist...

The Flaming Lips.

I really love them.

I also really miss the community feeling about a new album coming out. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots was a big one for me.

Petcircle is stocking the Weruva beef and pumpkin wet food! 👀

It’s very low in phosphorus so is good for cats with kidney disease. I was desperately hunting for this food when Melbcat was first diagnosed as food allergies meant she couldn’t eat the prescription food.

So expensive though, especially as she’s eating a lot more wet food than usual and is turning her nose up at cheap sardines. It’s twice the price of the cheaper usual option. The blood test after her thyroid procedure said she doesn’t have kidney disease anymore?

Even so I’ve added a few tins to the cart to see how she tolerates it. If she does I know we have a kidney friendly option as she ages.

Punk karaoke : the not so fine line between Onya mate, have a go, and Help, my ears are bleeding!

So much like a punk concert

I'm going to have to clean through every cupboard.

Tokyo Metro has had to halt sales of their equivalent of Myki (Pasmo), due to the semiconductor shortage.
