turps: (Wake up!)

I've said it before, but chocolate tastes so much better in Easter Egg form. I don't know why, but it really does.

Yesterday I picked up a Too Good to Go Magic Bag from Subway, picked up some tomato, courgette and cucumber plants, had a short walk and dropped an egg off for Kayleigh at her work to cheer her up as she was on a 14-hour shift. Then back home to make a sort of roast. The sort of as it was mash, veggies, belly pork/Quorn roast, gravy and not the whole roast dinner thing.

A few days ago I was followed by a new account on Instagram, and when I checked it out found out another cat cafe is opening in Newcastle. This one has a selection of pedigree cats who all look adorable, but when checking it out I found out that the admission fee is £10 a person, which is quite a bit more than the other cat cafes we go to. But, they also do a carers go free offer plus free tea and coffee for NHS/Blue Light card holders, so using those offers it actually works out cheaper than the others.

Later we're going to see Corey and drop off his eggs/chocolate. That is if James ever wakes up, while nothing was broken he's still aching from his fall and I suspect may have set off a minor AMC flair, so he's napping on the couch right now.

Earlier I watched the last episode of Bull I had recorded and it seemed like an end-of-series ep. Looking it up I found out it had been cancelled and I can't say I'm surprised. I quite liked the show, but it was never a favourite so it won't be a miss.

Now I need to get some tidying done before going out, especially pick up scraps of cardboard as yet again Murphy has ripped a box apart. Like most cats he enjoys sitting in them, but also likes to tear them apart using his teeth. Sadly, the second habit isn't as cute and picture-worthy.

Chocolate absolutely tastes better in egg form, there's just something about it. I don't know why either, but it definitely does. And thank you for the Too Good To Go reminder, we just picked up a Costa one (I'm always wary about supermarket ones due to those pesky food allergies).

I need to catch up on Bull, I think I've got about a season left - I got super behind on all my shows in 2020/2021 because C19 storylines were freaking me out, and I haven't caught up on anything :/

Yay for new cat cafe!

Sweet of you to take Kayleigh a pick-me-up.

I hope you get to see Corey today.

The chocolate might not last long if I had to keep it in my car until I saw him, lol!

I loved Michael Weatherly on NCIS. I actually liked the characters on Bull, and there are some eps I like, but I lost interest after the first season or so. I keep thinking one day, I'll go back and watch them all in order. We'll see. I wasn't surprised or upset it was canceled.

At least Ozzie doesn't chew up boxes. However, I have a list of my appointments taped to the refrigerator (because magnets only work on the sides, not the front!), and he jumped up on the fridge and proceeded to take a big bite out if my list! He's never eaten paper before or after that I know of. Just my appointment list. The list is still there, taped to the fridge and he hasn't touched it since.

Cats are WEIRD (but oh so loveable!).

Sounds like you've enjoyed your Easter chocolate :-)

Ooh, a new cat café! I hope you'll have lots of fun when you visit.

Don't you know that everything a cat does is cute and picture-worthy ;-D

Technically, Ducky is still there, but he's not on every episode anymore. Actually, Ducky is the last of the true original characters. Tim didn't appear until S1 E7. Jimmy's first ep was S1 E21 (I always forget he's in S1 at all!) And Vance is there. He's not original, but has been around since S5. I do miss Tony still, and now I miss Gibbs, they were always my favorite characters. But I've always liked Torres, too. I thought he was a great addition. And I'm very happy with Parker. Also Jess, the new female agent, she may be my favorite of all the female agents. Basically, I still really enjoy the show and the characters. Hopefully, James does, too! If you ever turn him into a Gibbs/DiNozzo slash fan, there are a ton of stories out there! LOL

Maybe Ozzie's name should have been "Random". If that cat is anything, it's random! *smh*

Ducky has been appearing less and less, especially since Gibbs is gone. I can't even tell you the last episode he was in, but he was still in the credits last time I noticed.

I remember the episode you're talking about. I was not happy they decided Breena died from COVID. They killed off Fornell's daughter about the same time, so why couldn't Emily have died from COVID? They've also bumped up Victoria's age. I think about seven years after the episode when she was born, she was suddenly eleven years old. Ah, the magic of television!

I do really like Jimmy with Jess, though. They're a cute couple. *G*

I looked it up for fun. I knew he didn't appear much anymore, but I'm surprised he's only been in two episodes this season (so far). Wow! For reference, Ziva left after S10 (with a handful of appearances after), Tony left at the end of S13, Abby left near the end of S15.

Seasons 1-14 Ducky appeared in every episode
Season 15 Ducky appeared in 13/24 episodes
Season 16 Ducky appeared in 13/24 episodes
Season 17 Ducky appeared in 6/20 episodes
Season 18 Ducky appeared in 3/16 episodes
Season 19 Ducky appeared in 4/21 episodes
Season 20 Ducky appeared in 2/20 episodes (so far)
