All right, I want to ask the folks who love cats and follow the #CatsOfMastodon hashtag a question. Many of you have probably already seen me posting about Ginza, the feral cat I was able to convince to give up being a feral cat and move inside with me.

I've sometimes wondered and I get puzzled by the descriptions on the internet where Ginza is a type of tortie cat? Of course she has tabby markings and stripes on her, but she also has blotches of white. Here are some pics.

Overhead shot of Ginza on the bed showing how she has black stripes on her legs.
Ginza underneath a rocking chair and enjoying the sunshine coming in through the windows. Her white bib on her chest can be seen. She also has a white belly. Her front two paws are white mittens. Unseen are her back paws which are white socks.

There was a loud noise in the kitchen. On investigation there was only a spatula mysteriously on the floor, and Wordsworth (Greater London, UK). Apparently he was also checking out the unexplained movement of the spatula.

We're going on a cygnet hunt.
We're going to snap a fluffy one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

It's time to get organised for the Friday Sparkly Dance Party!

Here's what you need to do if you'd like to join in:

1. Pick a dance (all 50 so far are below)
2. Film yourself doing the dance step a few times
3. Upload the clip to Mastodon, tagging me in and noting the dance number
4. Have a laugh with it, it's just for a bit of silly fun 🕺 💃

A late entry into the "what do you call dandelion seed heads" discussion, another from Scotland.

HAIRY MEN

I had 3 responses, in this order.

1. Smutty. "But, but, it's all about blowing them!" 😮

2. Sensible. "Oh, on reflection that's quite similar to the Spanish grandpa really. It's just bearded." 🧔

3. Silly. "It should look like the Scottish gonk I bought as a holiday souvenir from the Highlands when I was little." 👀

Anyway. I made number 3. Sorry.

Es gibt ja nicht nur leichte Momente auf Reisen. Das National Covid Memorial hat mich sehr berührt und erschüttert. Bereits von weitem sieht man, dass die gesamte Wand des Ufers gegenüber des britischen Parlaments rot ist. Jedes dieser Herzen steht für einen Menschen, bei dem COVID auf der Sterbeurkunde vermerkt wurde. Die Zahl ist seit meinem Besuch weiter gestiegen.

Every time I've opened my 'in progress' file for the last three days this has been facing me. It has undergone many tweaks, and is still not quite right, but I have run out of tweaks. In a different frame of mind I would delete, but today it feels mean, so I am declaring it to be finished. Whatever it is, it is very pleased to meet you.

It's Friday! Woo! It's been an unusual week and I nearly forgot 🤦‍♀️

Anyhow, week 50 of the dancers and, as ever, I hope you all have a fine weekend if you possibly can 😀

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 50 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is a red starburst sky, with a rainbow framing the top. 47 dancers are on the lines of the rainbow, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is larger, and centre stage on a cloud at the bottom, with a dancer either side for company.

There was a brief conversation about booping the hogs yesterday, but I felt it was a bit of a cheat to boop a nose you'd drawn yourself.

I should have left it there, but when I was sorting files I thought "maybe I could make it more difficult somehow, and therefore not a cheat".

So anyway, have a blindfolded double-boop because for a split-second that made sense to me, and that's all it needs sometimes.

IT'S FRIDAY! YAY!

Week 49 of the dancers and most of them are still dancing on the same rainbow as last week because I'm tired out from gardening, it's later than I realised and I was lazy.

As always have a good weekend, if you possibly can 😀

Quick lemur boop before dashing out for a walk while it's still dry & bright. What a beautiful creature. Very boopable.

Too much politics for a couple of days, however pleasing most of the results. Off to find some flowers.

What is the Bank Holiday on Monday for?

Does that affect the timetables of busses and trains?

Habt Ihr Euch auch gefragt, wie man auf Schottisch sagt "Vom kleinen Maulwurf, der wissen wollte, wer ihm auf den Kopf gemacht hatte"?

Diese Frage kann ich beantworten.

Week 48 if the dancers and yeah, nearly May 4th so... you know...

As always have a good weekend, if you possibly can 😀

#FridaySparklyDancers #sillyScribbles #animation #MayThe4thBeWithYou #MayThe4th

Hand drawn animation loop. There are 48 simple figures each doing their own dance move. The main body of the screen is a star field, with a rainbow framing the top. 47 dancers are on the lines of the rainbow, doing their thing. The new dancer for this week is centre stage on the red peak of a rainbow at the bottom. They hold a light saber that they are swinging back and forth. There is a Star Wars style crawl of text behind the main dancer, but I didn't know what to write, so it's part of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
