turpsThank you dine for the Christmas card, you remain made of awesome.
Another post just reminded me, Tom Hiddleston was in the Strictly audience last weekend, which was a nice surprise. He was looking good, even though that's not the best photo. Now sign up next year, Tom.
Someone appears to be reading and leaving kudos for every popslash fic that I've posted at A03. It's very lovely to see when I get the email each morning.
I'm waiting in for deliveries today, including double the amount of cat food I actually wanted. I ordered from Amazon yesterday, using my gift cards to pay, except, they wanted me to say it was actually me ordering by answering a security prompt in the linked banking app, which made no sense as it was for a payment of £0. So I cancelled that, ordered again, only to find out the first order had actually gone through despite not clicking the prompt and couldn't be cancelled. So now I have eight boxes of cat food coming. Which will get used, so I won't send back, but still, not what I was wanting.
My tree is up and everything decorated, well mostly. It was lashing down with rain yesterday, so the wreath still hasn't made it onto the front door. Kevin has been mostly good and has made no attempt to climb the tree, but one old ornament did get broken under small kitty feet this morning, so I suspect a climb may happen at some point.
Kevin himself is still settling in very well, though remains a limpet. His thing is to jump from floor level to get to my shoulder, which is fine, but he digs his claws in on the way up so I now look like I've had a fight with a cactus, and the wearing of my Oodie is now just not for warmth but claw protection, too.
Kevin and Murphy are still getting on okay, though Kevin very much thinks he's the boss of their relationship and thinks nothing of shouldering Murphy out of the way to get food or a toy. Which is amusing to see as Murphy is at least four times the size of Kev.
It's the Christmas dinner with Pauline and my brother's family tomorrow. I had to pre send the menu choices in advance as it's a special festive menu, only for my niece and nephew to pick turkey dinners a sweet and starter from that, and not off the normal menu, which is why Chris asked to change location so they'd have more choice. Then he sent a text a couple of days ago asking when the meal actually was, and really, it's good that I love them all.
Finally, some photos, of cats and Christmas
I know some people can't see my Insta posts for some reason, but if you can, I posted a Christmas reel here
There is a tree under there, somewhere. Also, later in the spam, my new dino fairy lights and polar bear, which I love a lot.

Date: 2023-12-08 02:48 pm (UTC)I was so frustrated with Amazon yesterday. I still don't understand why I'd need to authorise a payment that wasn't even coming from my bank account. Then to try and cancel the order and get, nope, too late. I'm just glad it's something that will be used.
Enjoy your Christmas dinner! I'm sure ours will be good, but it has been like herding cats to get to this point. Earlier, just after I posted this, Pauline phoned and said she needed to ask a big favour and I thought, here we go, she's going to cancel or want to rearrange. Thankfully, it wasn't that, just her wanting to be picked up earlier so she could drop some flowers off on the way.
Such a pretty icon!

Whew! Thankfully it wasn't a huge favor!
I'm sure I shall enjoy it, thank you!!
