Once again, I have zero fascinating items to report. Well, that is not quite true. I guess it depends on your definition
of fascinating.
Here is a fascinating picture of Rebecca's cat Sheena leading a dissolute life. Sheena asserts that it is a fake, and that someone has tampered with her picture. Who ever would do that, I wonder.
Also fascinating, this morning, I closed my nose in the car door. This is hard to believe, but true. And my poor nose is injured to prove it. Sorry, but I am not posting a picture.

Rebecca and I are still running (actually, slowly trotting) twice a week, and it is getting better. One day we went nearly five miles. This must have been a fluke, as usually I am mewling, whinging, and pleading to stop long before that. This morning we only went 2.5 miles because of potential heat (which, happily, never materialized,) and other errands, and look what happened afterward. (See above.) The whole running thing is sort of torture, but I will do anything to spend time with my girl. I keep thinking that it will get less torturous, but once I get fitter, we just go further and faster, so it stays equally awful no matter what.
I am always envious when folks post photos of their artistic lattes. Given that I never drink coffee, I just get boring foam on top of my chai. No one ever bothers to make it cute. So today, when Becca and I got creatively topped hot apple juice, I was quite pleased, and now can post my own drink picture.
I had a fascinatingly intriguing post-birthday dinner prepared
the always fascinating Twins, and as usual, they served up something
special. We had pasta puttanesca,
an artistic and delicious salad as is their norm, and Pimm’s Cup for our
beverage. This latter is something
I had encountered in books, but never in person. It was fruity, somewhat mysterious, and hyper-delicious. In fact, it is my new favorite quaff.

During dinner, there was a crash, and some abashed looking kitties!
They recovered in time to join us watching Rosemarie, a movie I had long wanted to see.
When I'm calling you Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
There! That was a load of utterly fascinating material! What more could you want?

I hope your nose will be OK! You should post about your quilted masterpieces. You do look like you are having a grand time on your jog.
You and Becca look great - almost makes me want to take up jogging. You are getting healthy and having fun with your girl. What could be better!
Great blog. Do you think the cat needs re-hab. ?
Sorry about your accident.
Self inflicted injuries are horrible, the pain, and the feeling of stupidity!
Keep on jogging.
I am sorry to be leaving a message for you on your blog but I have no way of contacting you otherwise. I wanted to thank you for sticking by me all these years and you don't want to think about how many years they are!
I just wanted to let you know how meaningful comments have been for me. You may have gathered that I am having a very difficult time at the moment. My osteoarthritis in my spine has got to the point that I have had to make the decision to stop showing dogs. I find it far too exhausting and painful most especially the following day. Not only that but I am finally last long-distance driving is becoming, no has become, dangerous not just me of course but that anybody else on the road. I have already fallen asleep once on the way home from 170 mile journey after being up since 2 AM and this being about 4 PM. I now take 18 mg of morphine 100 mg of tramadol 800 mg gabapentin 10 mg baclofen and thousands milligrams. they have also now discovered that I have a neurological problem which I have been telling them that age is that I believe that I did because I could not walk a straight line I keep feeling to the left and I fell for no apparent reason and I always fell backwards. Plus I cannot use my fingers to write any nor can I type. I have been extremely stubborn. Even if I could afford to pay handlers I still exhausting myself with grooming barfing. I have not been doing my knitting and have hardly done any yarn painting at all because I do not have the energy and time. Pain rise is difficult to know because one get so used to it. At the moment I am supposed to be changing from there seemed to oxycodone and there seemed to be a electrical Wilson MR mind as to why I should do that and my doctor agreed but now that I'm doing it can't see the p•oint I do seem more clearheaded on the oxycodone. But they aren't as flexible as morphine. With the morphine if I hurt I just took more and I was allowed to within limits. I suppose I could ask to be described the 5 mg oxycodone which would give me back the flexibility. Anyway I've just realised how selfish I am being. I've told you this because of your job and I have not had the decency to stop and ask how your life is going. My only excuse being that this is a very highly charged time for me with a lot of changes going on. Telling me I can no longer sure my dogs it's like telling Tiger Woods he can no longer play golf. He may not be the best of choices but you know what I mean. Plus my doctor left and I got on extremely well with her to the point that I went through the grieving process when she did and I am still unable to form a relationship with the woman that she chose for me. The fact that she chose her for me but of course let me think I chose her tells me that time with the right one. The way things work here is that if you need to see a doctor you call up the surgery and you see the doctor with the soonest clear appointment. However people like me are always seen by the one ongoing doctor because it is important that we build up a relationship and the general picture of my health. Electronic gadgets are very good at this because I now write down on my mini iPad every little thing that happens to my body. My previous doctor got it through to me that she wanted to know absolutely everything now matter how stupid I thought it was. She said it was up to her to decide if it was important or not. By doing this she not only realised how much I lied to her, though not deliberately, how much worse I had got, and Hal much of what I described was neurological and not just the normal pain from an exposed spinal-cord from the crumbling of my spine and those little bony outcrops that grow on your spine which I'm sure you know all about some not going there. My email address is apso at tantra-apso dot com. I would love to hear from you and about your life that I would very much appreciate any comments you may have regarding the effects of the osteoarthritis. I find it very old that I can knit on one .75 needles yet can no longer hand write.
I found it all fascinating! You and Becca look disgustingly fit and healthy, I take it this photo was taken before the unfortunate nose-in-car-door incident. Poor you, I hope the injury is slight and doesn't involve black eyes or a remodeled nose :-(
Delighted to hear that you've discovered Pimm's, my favorite summer tipple since I was a teenager. Just remember that if you're tempted to eat all the fruit at the bottom of the glass because it is healthy ... it has been macerating in alcohol since the drink was mixed and is POTENT!
And speaking of tipples, I think the only thing missing from Sheena's photo is, yes, a Pimm's!
A belated happy birthday to you! It sounds like you celebrated it well. Pim's is also one of my favorite drinks, but Pru must make it stronger than I make mine, because mine isn't strong at all.
I hope your nose has recovered by now! I man
aged once to hit myself in the eye with my car door, and I broke one arm of my glasses. Then I punched myself in the same eye bending down near an armchair. It all happened around the same time, and I'm glad to say has never happened again-- so far.
