A demolition is taking place nearby, loud enough to completely dominate the ambient noise here for three business days. Gidget has been finding this pretty scary, and would like some privacy as she cowers in fear, thank you. 🐈 #mbfeb

The #mbfeb challenge continues for an extra few days! Here’s a selfie I took with the one I keep calling the light of my life… my beloved Gidget 🥰

The other day when I was walking along the driveway, I looked up and noticed these avocados growing in the tree outside my neighbours’ flat! 🥑 Last year the tree produced only one avocado all season long, but this year seems to have been more fruitful 😊

Today’s #mbfeb prompt is “pompasetting”, which apparently is a Caribbean word meaning “showing off”. Gidget has an exquisite belly which she loves to show off 😉 (Photo from three years ago, now.)

Some of my favourite recent photos that I haven’t already posted are these: Gizmo munching on his dentastick! Probably anxiously, to make sure notorious bickie thieves (me and my family) can’t steal them. It’s a hard life being a dog 🐶

Today’s #mbfeb prompt is “code”, so I took a photo of where I do my coding 😜 It doesn’t seem to be a “serious programmer” choice but I like to use Geany , with a solarised light colour scheme, to tinker with my website. If I need emoji support, and to write posts, I use Typora .

Gidget’s now five and a half, but the tidying I did yesterday uncovered a purple hair tie that she used to play fetch with as a little baby cat. When she found it, she excitedly demanded an immediate game of fetch, even though it was 10:30pm 😂 Still a kitten at heart! #mbfeb

Today’s #mbfeb prompt is banana, so I’m sharing my favourite way to eat banana: mashed into baked oatmeal! If you’d like to try the same, my recipe derives from BudgetBytes’ Banana Bread Oatmeal , but I add ~25g chia seeds and a squirt of stevia instead of the sugar 😛

🐈 For today’s #mbfeb challenge post, I thought I’d share another photo of Gidget during the spell of hot weather we had last week. She wasn’t too convinced about needing to have her photo taken yet again 😅

Why does food look more appealing when it’s colourful? Is it some kind of evolutionary adaption because in nature, colours = fruits and vegetables? 🤔 Regardless, I enjoyed the bowl of fried rice with prawns I made last night. #mbfeb

After a few hot days (and nights) in a row, the cool change came earlier than expected this afternoon, resulting in pleasant weather – about 21°C. I appreciated it, at least! Looking forward to an easier night’s sleep tonight 🙂 #mbfeb

A few years ago, my grandma came and helped me plant some things in the flowerbed at the front of my flat. Some of them died, and after some point, I’d thought this orange flower was one of them. With this year’s La Niña summer, though, it’s surprised me and come back alive 😊

For day 18 of Micro.blog’s photoblogging challenge , the prompt is “at home”. A recent development from our home: I bought this memory foam pillow to help with near-daily neck and shoulder pain. Not only does it work great, but my envious partner bought one for himself too 😊

Today Victoria is still in lockdown, although the good news is that’ll end at midnight tonight, on schedule. Another piece of good news: no further sign of those dang wasps!! This photo was taken from what was under their flight path 😎 #mbfeb

Ever the erudite cat, this one was transfixed by the quoll documentary that was on the other night. At least, I’m sure it was the thirst for knowledge and not any other reason that kept her glued to the screen 🤣 #mbfeb

Today I have another photo from when Gidget was a kitten. She’s always found comfort hiding behind the couch, and in this picture you can see some of her in the reflection in the window, too 😸 #mbfeb

Gidget says, “Mum… tell those mice to have some compassion and come out to be eaten!” 😼 #mbfeb

Tonight I decided to make gnocchi with chicken sausages in a butternut squash sauce 😋 If you’re interested in trying it yourself, I follow this Skinny Taste recipe ! #mbfeb

My face when I saw that today’s #mbfeb challenge prompt is sporg…

Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time peering at this machine, setting my blog up how I want it. MacBook Airs may not be the beefiest, but they feel very nice to work on, and coming from a Linux background I appreciate the Unix-ness! (#mbfeb )
