In this trying time, please enjoy Freddie, his unbelievably soft tummy, and his even more unbelievable penchant for having it scritched.

We bought a Christmas tree by surprise. We did not have the ratchet straps in the car. We improvised.

He is *tolerating* me putting my leg there.

He really, really did.

This twat just SWIPED A CHIP OFF MY PLATE AND RAN AWAY WITH IT.

I put the chip in the bin and he spent the rest of dinner staring angrily at my meal like this:

Well, looks like my knitting has been claimed.

Look at him, though.

(He's sleeping on a scarf that we bought from a charity shop for him the day we agreed to adopt him. I did a little weep seeing him choose to curl up on it.)

Very helpful.

As expected, no problems here at all.

A few more photos from Mary Shelley's House Of Frankenstein, which was super camp and great fun. Although the "scary basement" actually was VERY scary in a Silent Hill sort of way, and it turns out that I'm not nearly as brave as I thought I was 😅

He's at least seven feet tall and is designed after the actual description in the book with yellowed skin, black lips and long black hair. He is looking directly at the camera.

He's still not hungry but I suspect he's on the mend.

Well, the "scared of everything" stage didn't last long.

Freddie update: continued shouting but also more napping today, and the salmon lick-e-lix are a definite hit.

A while since I've joined in with ##ShowMeYourKnits but what's-on-my-needles is *still* my redo Mariposa sweater. If I'm lucky I might have it done by next summer 😂

The best photo I could manage - under the circumstances - of a very lovely boy who YELLED at us the entire drive home.

Everything is ready for Freddie to come home tomorrow. His blanket is done and inside one of the many hiding places we've made in his settling-in room (in this case, a cardboard box.) Tomorrow is a Big Day.

I have spent quite a significant part of my day starting a crochet blanket for Freddie.

Oh, also - today was our 17th anniversary! What a day!

I love you @antonycull.bsky.social and I can't wait to adopt our furry, terrified son x

I've been sitting on this in case it didn't go through, but today @antonycull.bsky.social and I went to meet Freddie at our local RSPCA branch, and next Friday we get to bring him home ❤️

Best trick-or-treaters so far:

- kid who was very excited about the Minecraft costume "I made myself!"
- two babies
- two dogs (!!)
- Vinnie

Look, it's not my most creative Halloween window (I am *so* tired) but it's done! And it was so much easier now that I don't have to climb over the kitchen sink to stick stuff on the window 😆
