As you can see from this photo, Finbar is now the picture of health. Plump, you could even say, so his week of dieting hasn't hurt him at all.

He spends a lot of time on the table now that he's discovered the bird feeders. Cat TV at its best!

I have nothing interesting to say. Just trying to clean up the house and do laundry and other mundane chores.

I have a sore shoulder, don't know what I did to it, but it makes the process take much longer when you use one arm.

I dare not complain though as so many people live with so many disabilities that they can't recover from, and much worse ones than a sore shoulder.

I've picked out my Halloween cocktail and can't wait.

Take a martini glass and rub the rim with a slice of orange. Dip into orange colored sugar and set aside.

Then take 2 ounces of Kahlua; 2 ounces of Vodka; 1 ounce of Creme do Cacao; 1 ounce dark coffee; 1 ounce fresh orange juice. Shake over ice and pour.

Yummy and spooky!
