    When I’m out walking I occasionally see a lady walking her dog and pushing a stroller. She has her two cats in the stroller and told me one day she didn’t think it was fair the dog was able to go outside and not the cats. It makes me smile whenever I see them all.

    ☕ Back to work after a nice 11 day break. First the coffee, then the emails.

    New month. Time for a new lock screen photo. 🐱📱

    An iPhone lock screen with a photo of a black and white cat sitting on a red throw rug on an armchair looking at the camera. The screen has the date, Monday 1 April, and the time, 5:21pm.

    Relaxing afternoon reading my book on the balcony. Ms Ali and her toy mouse are keeping an eye on the birds flitting around. 🐱

    I’ve been looking for an inexpensive field watch I could wear on weekends. Quartz movement rather than mechanical so I could just put it on and go. I came across the Berny brand and liked the look of a white dial/cream band combo so ordered one. Arrived today, Good Friday, so kudos to the courier.

    Some people treat themselves to Easter eggs and hot cross buns for Easter.

    I treat myself to a new Pilot MR3 Retro Pop fountain pen with a Fine nib and a new Easter (flat cap) bonnet. 🖋️

    Two photos of violet purple fountain pen laying on a white notepad. Top photo has the cap off showing the nib and the bottom the cap is on. There is a silver band around the middle of the pen with purple wavy lines.A green flat cap laying on the white cotton bag it came in.

    🍷 Holidays means a lazy lunch at one of my favourite Italian restaurants.

    I like that Shogun has been coming out weekly rather than all at once. I’m really enjoying the show and it gives me something to look forward to. Plenty to binge watch in between. I’m about to finish Masters of the Air and then it’s either The Gentlemen or 3 Body Problem. 📺

    🌱 A rainy Sunday afternoon is perfect for repotting some of my plants. I’ve left them in the exposed part of the balcony as there’s a forecast of a rainy week ahead. Hopefully they will get a good soaking in. 🪴

    Dinner with some friends always comes with a proviso. They love to sing after a few drinks, and they sing very well, so karaoke is always suggested and you’re not allowed to say no.

    Thankfully they have a media room so we don’t have to go any further than downstairs to embarrass ourselves.
