Tom-cat Turf Wars

The pied Viking cat met Sooty, the all-black cat today. We have x2 black cat visitors to the garden, whom I distinguish by his white socks. The ginger cat didn't welcome Sooty's presence. Not one little bit.

Knighton Honesty in Swansea

Remember this pic, which appeared in this old post?

Well, I took a few seeds from this Honesty plant, and here is a pic of the first of them to flower (it's the purple flowered plant in the foreground of the first image below, and bitton leftvin the pic below that). White it does not look like the pic above just yet, wait 'til it produces the beautiful seed pods!

Socialising

After doing a day's shift wfh, I took a bath, photographed the neighbour's cat in my garden, then headed down to town for a couple of pints with work friends. Not really in a socialising mood, but thought the walk and company would help my mental health, and I grabbed a few pictures along the route of good old Swansea for my See Swansea site, which will be updated next month. Met up with my better half then for a another pint, this time in my favourite pub, The No Sign. What's not to like, eh!

One of today's photos from Swansea:

Soft

I am growing a bit soft on the neighbour's cat. He is certainly fond our of garden :)

A Georgeous Swansea Bay

I may have be quiet on here recently, but that's because I am worn out but relentlessly ploughing on...

GNS3 Editing Continues

Whilst I may be taking a rest from office work, I can't imagine anything worse than being bored. 

A Needed Office Break

Desperate to regain whatever little sanity I have, I've walked away from my office job for a week for a little self-care.  Checkimg my stress levels later, I could see my stress levels peaking shortly before I asked for a half dat and the rest of the week off work. You can actually see my stress drop when I was told my leave was granted and it plummeting as I left the office a little after mid-day:

Having no house keys on me, I spent the afternoon wandering around Swansea to remind myself just how beautiful my home city really is, before being picked up later that afternoon.

 

 

I ended my 11k step walk by a look round The Dylan Thomas Centre, where they had the acual doors to to the writer's writing shed. Reminds my of my shed door :)
