Is it me, or is she not actually “wearing” this? Looks quite AI.

Pets know they’re loved, it’s in your every day actions. You don’t even have to say the words. I hope he doesn’t stay upset about that aspect of it for long. It’s so hard. x

Oh that’s so sad. J won’t remember much of life before him. That’s what sprang to mind when you said he was very upset. Sending lots of love to you all.

Sunday’s looking pretty laid back/boring. I need to track down some of my old work’s IT gear to send it back, then there’s dog walking to be done. Oh, and a potential getting curtains shortened to hang them at some point soon.

I think life’s probably going to pan out differently than that. But I’m still glad it’s mine & proud to have achieved buying it. My brother loves it. So everyone’s happy.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 21h

Maybe never. My brother lives there. Our circumstances changed a bit from when I bought it and now. It’s becoming a very lovely home though.

So sorry Sarah-Jane. How awful. How old was he?

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 22h

Hahaha, I’ve mowed 2 lawns, painted fences and stained planters - I’m an awesome husband! 😂

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 22h

Yes, I’m feeling incredibly middle aged and very pedestrian myself lately. Ho hum, we’ll enjoy these things anyway!

Fibromyalgia is a bit like buckaroo I think. One day you do something, it’s fine, leave it a week, repeat: nope!

I’m feeling rather adult. Mowed the (new) lawn at my own house for the very first time! It’s all immaterial that I don’t live there at this point 😆

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

It’s coming along. Need to get some bulbs/plants.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

What a view! Stunning.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

The lawn really wants to be mowed. It’s going to be too wet after today. Hmm. Currently absolutely knackered from fence painting. To soldier on or rest up?

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Looks fab & finished if you only see this part of the garden. Alas, not finished. Hoping the stain dries less ginger 🤞🏻

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Cracking on with coat 2 of the wood stain. Risky? Dunno. I don’t want ginger.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve done about half of the grouting haze scrubbing but I’ve got the awkward & most messy bit left. I am sulking.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Yup. Yet I’m quite comfortably hetro. Dunno how that’s a thing but there we are. 🤣

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Mae Martin: hot.

I think eBay has the SEO edge over newer platforms who are much more user friendly. To an extent, they don’t need to bother with it. Just needs the $ scales to tip far enough for them to invest more in UI.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Before/after. Heading indoors to tackle more of the grout residue (gift that keeps giving) and hoping it dries back even and not needing more paint, but fully expecting it to!

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

Happy Saturday guys! I’m getting up in a minute to go tackle that fence. Wish me luck!

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

So there’s still clean sheets to look forward to! Hope you’re having an easier day today and you can get it done.

Jess @partmermaid.bsky.social · 1d

The cutest snorer ever! Volume up.

Puppy having noisy dreams. Is he reliving the excitement of the vet with the biscuits or the stress of it?!
