  • Goodbye, Mr Leonard Nimoy

    May you be in a peaceful place, Mr Leonard Nimoy. “Live long and prosper” – Leonard Nimoy.

  • Protecting the dianthuses…who from?

    We don’t know, but it’s very likely Daffodil’s the one who has been “disturbing” the dianthuses and we think it’s because she likes the flowers. Try as I did, I did not manage to save the two plants, so I procured two replacement plants today. These would be the two at the top left corner.…

  • Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

    “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. – Michael Pollan” is the best 7-word nutritional advice one can give any human. An excerpt: That, more or less, is the short answer to the supposedly incredibly complicated and confusing question of what we humans should eat in order to be maximally healthy.

  • Cow attacks, but Bunny fights back!

    I was in the kitchen washing up after the cats’ dinner when I heard the all too familiar Cow-growls. I looked out of the window and saw Bunny and Cow, and a fight was about to break out. It happened too fast, and by the time my husband rushed out, there was fur everywhere (Bunny’s…

  • Heidi’s eye (and more Z-stories)

    Poor Heidi… I came back from work today to find her with a watery right eye which could hardly open. So I applied warm salt water on it and she could open the eye after that. An appointment has been made at the vet’s this evening (it’s the earliest I could get). Meanwhile, Heidi asked…

  • Now, who’s been trampling on the dianthuses? (and other Z-stories)

    My pretty “pinks” (the dianthuses) had been trampled on for a few nights in a row, resulting in two plants on the brink of death. I’m trying desperately to save them. Who has been trampling on them? Finally, last night, I think I identified the culprit. No, it’s not Ginger. This photo was taken in the…
