Oct. 31st, 2012 04:36 pmI had a good mail day today. Thank you ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dine for the awesome postcard and sperrywink for the fun card ♥
We went to nannas on Sunday and had a nice time, but I did have a moment of, the hell? when she mentioned our cats, then asked how long cats live for. We told her, and she said, oh, well I'll probably not visit your house again. Which, what? If she'd at any point said the cats bothered her I'd have put them in another room, it's usually only Freesia who thinks everyone is there to cuddle her that tends to come bother people anyway, and she's easily put upstairs.
Saying that, it was more a wtf moment not nanna being mean or anything. I love her to bits and considering she's in her middle 90s now she can dislike cats all she wants. I just wish she'd have actually said so outright, and not in a way where she means dying before our cats.
James has been carving pumpkins the last two nights ( See )
He also made soup out of one, and man, it was so good. Just pumpkin, onions, stock and one chilli. Om nom nom. I'll be making more with the remaining pumpkin flesh later, and have the seeds ready to be roasted. Not that I've tried that before but I figure why not give it a go. Strike that, soup has now been made and it tastes great once again. No seed roasting yet, though.
While we don't get many trick or treaters here we get a few, so we have a bowl full of sweets ready, and if they don't all go, Corey will soon finish them off.
Finally, I know a lot of talk is going on about the changes LJ is doing to the friend pages. I'm sure everyone knows how I feel about this but LJ is my home and I have no intention of leaving. Not because I don't get annoyed at how they make unnecessary changes, because I do, but because the DW subscribe and access thing doesn't work for me at all. I know it does for lots of people but I don't like it. I'll happily cross post to DW and will read/comment there, but LJ is my space, and I'm not giving it up.
