Feasts for the Eyes and Ears

It's Walkin' and Readin' Wednesday, and here are some lovelies seen recently:

Ruby, who is a sweet wee pupper.

Niko owns the street.

Nightfury

Thomas

Feral Colony, of which Eightball is one of the four.
We loaned a humane trap to these folks, when Eightball was wounded; he's all better now.

These neighbors have got to hear me making smoochie noises at their cat; the window is open!
Just haven't caught anyone outside yet, in order for me to ask.

Recent audiobooks:

Swordheart, by T. Kingfisher, narrated by Jesse Vilinsky

"A sensible widow, Halla, inherits an estate and is threatened by her in-laws, leading her to accidentally release an immortal warrior, Sarkis, trapped in a sword; he becomes her reluctant bodyguard as they fight to secure her inheritance." - Goodreads

Entertaining romp, with magic, talking badger-like oxen drivers, and a woman who finds her groove.

The Lost Masterpiece, by B. A. Shapiro, narrated by Lucy Rayner, Christine Lakin, and Hannah Curtis

"A story of love, adultery, betrayal, longing, family secrets, and the birth of Impressionism." - Goodreads

Have enjoyed a few books by this author, and this one is good too!

Wylding Hall, by Elizabeth Hand, narrated by about a dozen narrators

What really happened to Julian Blake, who disappeared at Wylding Hall when his British acid-folk band gathered to make an album?

A short audiobook, with a gobstopper of an ending; entertaining!

Henry Update:

His first chemo pill was administered on Tuesday evening.

The very kind vet technician saw my worried face when I'd stopped in the vet's office to pick up meds, and assured me all would be well.

We hope so; Henry The Ninth is one heckuva kitty, and we want him to have a good, comfortable life.

❤️❤️❤️

Let's Hop!

    We send POTP for this chemo routine to do good for Henry and not have bad side effects.

  2. You are so lucky to have a cat-filled neighborhood. Love seeing them. Will Henry have to take very many of these chemo pills, and for very long?

    1. A chemo pill once every two weeks for 5 months, or until the vet decides things are going well.

  3. Again: what a special neighborhood you live in ...
    my reading is re-reading. All the books from about 50-years ago that I most loved. Remember basics but not details, so a joy to visit again: currently, The Poisonwood Bible by Kingsolver. A+

  10. Such great animals to encounter on your walks! Hope Henry does well. The chemo could cause a little nausea. Something to watch for and make sure you have anti nausea meds available if needed.
