Random Friday Bits


Now with extra cat-blogging!

Random bit the first: Today is the day Mom arrives - the week's plan for tidying up actually went pretty well, and I am left with only the vacuuming/floors. John took care of the deck and the outdoor spaces the other day, and I have that sense of anticipation I get when we're throwing a party and waiting for the first guest to arrive.

Random bit the second: I have been trying to take a picture of Dash doing his daft dance of death outside the upstairs railing, but have not quite snapped him in the act. These, however, give a bit of an idea as to how the little bugger practically makes my poor acrophobic heart stop:


I stood a couple of steps up from the half-landing to take these photos. The tile floor of the foyer is one full flight below his merrily rolling body. Imagine now, if you will, that he doesn't have his hindquarters inside the railing, but rather is dancing on the scant few inches of carpet outside the railing. Put very simply, it gives me a hospital-grade case of the willies just to see him do it. John saw him leap from outside the railing to the landing the other day - even he found that unsettling.

Random bit the third: Anyone got any cookies? I'm craving cookies.
