I was busy with the dailiness of things-- I find that I read a whole lot more articles and news stories than ever before, now that I can get them online. And more widely too.

I cannot get into lj on my new laptop. I went to sign in and it said that my ip address was 'temporarily banned.' Has this ever happened to any of you?

I began putting food etc out for her, and she was very shy, but crept out to eat it.
This month neighbors moved. They offered her to us. (Husband was delighted-- he wanted to steal her anyway ( Read more... )
