[personal profile] turlough wanted to see a photo of my new giraffe dinner set, so you can see them, and some cats, behind

20210106_135351.jpg

It's a fun set, but I now have far too many dinner plates than I need. Somehow it's always the side plates and bowls that get broken, so now I have a stack of the big ones.

The garden has been full of birds this morning, which means Murphy has been having some excellent bird TV.

The first photo shows a bird that's been sitting on the plant shelf most of the morning, just flying off to get some seed every now and then. The second is Murphy practically vibrating on the back of my chair.

Not shown, a third of him seconds later when he launched himself forward, hit the window and ended up hanging full length from the blinds.

And because I can, Milo auditioning for Peaky Blinders.

We're back in a lockdown here, very much needed but still sad. For my one allowed walk a day I'm heading to the post box later as I have a mail survey letter to post. I'd normally go out in the morning but this one needs to be posted after midday. I can also post my antibody sample while I'm there as the post box I'm going to is also a priority post box. I've been doing the antibody survey for many months now and giving that sample still isn't getting any easier, as shown by me writing this and not actually getting it done. I don't know why but lancing my own finger seems so much worse than actually giving blood.

And, a few hours after starting this all mail has been posted after I stopped procrastinating and did the test. So am now sitting with a cup of tea trying to warm up after trudging through the slush.

Lancing your own finger IS worse than giving blood! *shudder* I think generally speaking there's a lot of evolutionary pressure to *not* cause yourself harm, y'know? ^^;;

I am DELIGHTED by the giraffe set! :D and those kitty pics are excellent 😻

the lancing thing is possibly also because there are tons more nerves in our fingers than the crook of the arm - I mean, yeah, that can hurt if jabbed wrong, but even a tiny poke on the fingertip is killer

Awh, they're so fun!

I gave up with sets and just got all Ikea 365 white porcelain which is more or less invisibly replaceable (there are slight differences in shapes year on year, but nothing major)

Those plates are super pretty! And that bird is definitely tantalizingly close. Murphy looks so focused, and Milo so unimpressed.

Go you getting your survey test done! At least another round is behind you now.

Your new dinner set is so pretty!! (I had far too many dinner plates before so I gave most of them to the recycling centre in the hope that someone else would have use of them.)

Good to hear that Murphy's enjoying his cat tv! Though maybe he should do so a little less energetically :-) (That bird looks like a female blackbird. They're not as intensely black as the males and their beaks are dull brown instead of bright orange.)

When you mentioned a giraffe dinner set, I knew I'd love it no matter what, but I wasn't expecting it to be so tasteful and stylish!

The cats, as always, are impeccable.
