A Sunday Selfie, Lint Roller Not Included

Hello, and welcome to our latest selfie Sunday! 

In a week full of bad news, anything positive, seems a real rarity.

And when Mrs H accidentally dropped a spanner across the battery terminals of our Vauxhall 30/98 E type tourer, things were far too positive. There was a shower of sparks and the spanner jumped a few feet into the air. Fortunately, no body, be it spanner, feline or human were any the worse. The battery is likely toast now, so Mrs H has bought a new one to be on the safe side. 

As the weather and Mrs H's tooth hole have shown some improvement, Mrs H, feeling a lot jollier, has tried to start on book 4 of our adventure series. But as I dictate the post for today, the dark clouds once more march across the sky, and it looks like more rain will spoil what is left of the weekend. I suspect it will be (another) Sunday spent laying on the bed grooming, napping and thinking of warmer, happier, peaceful days.

On the subject of work, here is my selfie. It was taken on Friday, and shows me at MY desk. I told Mrs H that great things happen at this desk and on this chair, and my naps are power thinking naps, rather than an opportunity to shed some hair on the chair's stiff fabric. To which Mrs H rolled her eyes and went to get the vacuum and lint roller . . . .




Whatever fluff your day finds you in, be it good, bad, or self inflicted, we hope you find some joy and warmth in knowing there is a lot of good out there. And if all that joy gets united, it can change the badness into goodness. And not just in stories.

  2. We're being very grateful this morning that we got our electricity back on after 30 hours without. Since we're still well below freezing outside needless to say it was almost that cold inside. To get up this morning and have the electricity more or less felt like a miracle. There's still thousands of people in Ohio that do not have power and may not for a few more days.

    1. That is such a relief to know you have heat. I hope and pray that others get theirs back sooner rather than later.

  4. Yikes on the spanner/battery tale! That reminded my dad- after picking up his work truck from what used to be his preferred mechanic shop he noted something hanging down from the bottom. He slid beneath the truck and found that they'd left a wrench hanging from the oil pan drain plug. When he gently brought it to the business owner's attention and returned the wrench, the response was pretty much, "Oh, thanks for letting us know." Lastly, dad said something stupid like a lint roller would be a full-time job around here.

  5. Looking gorgeous ERin. Glad all is okay after the spanner incident and no one was hurt. Teeth, well I've had my fair share of dentist issues over the years! Glad she is feeling better :-D

  6. ERin and Mrs. H I loved the 'lint roll' not included. During my 30 years of working I took my cat(s) to work every day. Both had very white lush tummy furs.

  9. That spanner incident sounds a little scary, ERin. We are glad no one was hurt!

    Sorry to hear your weather is turning dreary again, but napping, grooming, and dreaming of brighter days doesn't sound so bad. And your lovely selfie certainly rightened OUR day.

    Hugs to you and Mrs. H!

  10. You are looking very serious, Erin! Please be careful around batteries and anything else that might spark. We are having a lovely, sunny day here but it is rather chilly. We had a hard frost last night!

    Purrs,

  12. That was a rather 'sparky moment' with the battery, or perhaps early fireworks - one can never tell! Glad the weather and tooth are improving, and epic news book 4 is underway... Amber cant wait! 🐾😻🐾

  15. I’m very glad to hear there was no damage except to the battery, although those are expensive enough.

    Your selfie is excellent, and good luck to Mrs. H and the lint roller.

  16. Good selfie, and did the furs rebel against the lint remover?
    That was a rather dangerous oopsie with the battery incident. Yikes!
