Jun. 3rd, 2020 06:16 pmI don't know what's up with DW today but it's taking an age to comment, I suspect I'll have to give it up as a bad job and catch up tomorrow.
I also saw today that my crossposts to LJ hadn't been happening for a while, so sorry for the repost spam. I just hope they don't all get posted again at some point.
After nearly a week of beautiful sunshine and heat, the weather turned last night, becoming grey and rainy. Which was great for the garden and meant I only had to water the greenhouse plants. It was supposed to stay like that for a few days but it's back to being warm and sunny again, so, the weather forecast was lying to me.
Yesterday we went for a drive to the beach and saw the wild dolphins. I was so happy to see them, there had been reports in the papers for a few days and Kayleigh saw them three days ago, so when we saw groups of people looking out to sea we suspected what was out there, and it was the dolphins! So, after two years of seeing dolphins in the Canaries, this June we got to see them swimming off South Shields beach :D
Milo can't eat from midnight tonight, which means Pansy and Murphy will be cut off too. I suspect Murphy will think he's starving to death by the morning.
Mog on the Tyne is having to close for good, another victim of Covid 19. I'm going to miss the place and all the cats. I know they're all happy as I see them in their foster -- I guess, permanent homes now -- on Insta, but yeah, sad. While Catpawchino is still in Newcastle and up to now will eventually reopen, it just never had the same friendly vibes as Mog and somehow I suspect the one that was just starting to be opened in Durham may not happen now.
ETA: A go fund me to Save Mog on the Tyne has been set up and they have over 6k already. I've donated and hope it helps keep such a brilliant place open, and even if it doesn't, will help the rescue cats for as long as needed.
I've run out of Musketeer stories to read, the writer is still posting WIPs but I'm greedy and want more. I may have to reread all the Dragon stories again or move back to reading Winterhawk. I bet some good fic has been posted while I've been binge-reading Musketeers.
