I was going to decorate and put up my tree today, but didn’t quite get to it. Misha decided to make me feel better by being ornamental.

Big flakes of snow outside and cosy warm inside. I have a cat purring on my hip. Too bad I have to go downtown in the afternoon, otherwise this would have been a perfect winter’s day.

Here’s Misha looking ambivalent about snuggling. He has airplane ears and judgemental eyes. What you can’t tell from the photo is that he’s purring up a storm.

It’s a lovely snowy morning and I was out early putting out my compost. Had to take a photo of our lovely building.

Clap for me - it only took me five days to unbox and start using my new vacuum cleaner.
Misha is offended.

@veronicaf.bsky.social Finally bought some soaps and they arrived last week. They are all so beautiful, and the pear fragrance is especially divine! I used to be able to buy French pear soap years ago. Have been searching for something like it ever since.

Sunday is for snoozing. Misha on his chair and me on the sofa. A big pot of roasted tomato soup is simmering away, and snow is falling.

Misha has discovered the teeny tiny spider plant.

The pigeons that congregate near my apartment office in downtown Montreal have many individuals who are black and white rather than the usual dove grey. I think they’re lovely, and took some photos in the summer.

As a half Dane, I love the start of hygge season. Off from work today, on the morning after our first snowstorm,and I’m so excited to be able to light candles and snuggle down on the sofa.

I just realized that responding, not really, to the question, do you have plans for the weekend?, is flat out wrong. I have plans: reading on the sofa, baking bread, snuggling with Misha, cooking, cleaning (maybe), talking with my mum. My schedule is full!

Happy #caturday from Misha!
Here’s a question for the bluesky hive mind - what’s the best drinking fountain? Misha does drink from his bowl, but really loves licking rainwater from the top of the balcony table, so thinking I’d like to get a fountain for him. Thanks for any suggestions!

Misha like the security of his cat tree house, but seems to get overheated, so lets various body parts hang out.

Alert. And engaged. And not about to flee. I’m so proud of him. This morning was stressful because a stranger had to come into the apartment and make noise and there was noise in the entire building. He reverted to hiding behind the washing machine, which is his ultimate hiding place.

Oh god. Happy that it’s as good as you t could be. Here’s Misha for you. Happy that I’m home, but needs to show a bit of sass anyway to punish me.

In Newfoundland, on the Avalon Peninsula, for the very first time this week. Absolutely stunning!
