                  Well, we are, of course, at home on New Year’s Eve, so I can wear any mask I wish, but I seem to always choose this one! Who knows why, haha? But I have a ball with these coconut masks! May we all live in better days in 2021, with kindness and caring. After all, we have been and are still...

                  WHAT IS THIS? A RAID?  A HUNTING PARTY?  SOME BALLOONS THAT LANDED ON CACTUS? Well, some kids around here must not be able to read calendars…tonight outside down on the little road behind our house where the run-off rains flow under the pavement to the sea, there were loud pop, pop, pops...

                    Well, normally I do not put things in French in my blog, but I think this one is pretty easy to get:  The wife is telling the husband what’s for dinner, savory beef, irresitable salmon or exquisite chicken. And the husband answers, “I’ll have the irresistable...

                    Hey, mama, I think that will work, but let me get under the bed first, okay? Haha, mama just got a funny idea for New Year’s.  Since there will be no feu d’artifice here, a tradition of years and years that draws a huge crowd, we are going to go up to mama’s atelier...

                  Well, it’s like living in molasses around here. I think everyone is just a bit worn out, although I hear mama’s exercise video going full blast.  I think mama is trying to lure me into moving a bit more with her and getting my waist back, haha, after a few licks of cream and buttery things....

                  So, mama, now what? Well, the day after Christmas is sort of quiet, no?  Too quiet, maybe.  What do kitties do? I, for one, went upstairs and played with my feathered friends and pink thingamajig and then played again and then, well, I played a bit more and then, as all good things sort of wind...

                    Well, for us, Christmas this year was a lovely plethora (whatever that means) of lemons galore, and the tree looks decorated by someone with a yen for squeezing, haha. Mama and papa squeezed me instead this morning, but I also had a tiny bite of pancake with a drop of something that you...

                  A nice scratching place, too…please don’t look… Well, it has been too cold to tiptoe through the tulips, but today I girded my loins, or is it girdled, haha, and took a stroll through all the WONDERFUL grass that has come up with the rains. They are called ‘weeds’,...

            Do you think toe shoes would fit on these? Well, not birdies dancing ON hoovess, but again a spectacular video from the Nice family (Mya, maman et papa), a video that had mama in tears this morning, but good tears!  It is clear to me that many anthros are on the verge of tears quite often right now, they are all a...

            Whatever they are! I really should do that, but I  don’t know where my knuckles are, is?  I have left my Christmas preparations to the last minute, again!  Every year it’s the same thing.  Mama is out getting ready for holidays in OCTOBER, and I’m lazing around, mulling over what mama and papa and...

                We are liking our little lights tree as much as we like this one! Well, I hope mama has not committed whatever that awful pun means, and whatever it is, she has probably committed it, but I think she’s trying to say, “Hey, folks, look what we did last Christmas and now look what we have....

                  Hey, this guy is GOOD.  I’m in love with his tunes! Well, for a little 5-minute break in these strange days, here is a link to some lovely tunes (as mama once called the concerto that a concert pianist was practising in his home where she was visiting.)

              Well, I  was just lying here on my couch remembering the Christmases we have had in Italy with our family there and our genuine, good-smelling little (with emphasis on ‘little’) tree and mama’s ancient ornaments from her family and I was feeling a bit morose about whether Santa was even...

              I’m a little melancholy over holidays this year…are you? Well, actually it wouldn’t be such a crowd, if we could find one 🎄 that is!  Because this year is so very different and strange. We’re not seeing my stepbrother and stepsister and their kids and so many other friends everywhere, so we are having...
