Last time I went to use the speedlight for my camera, I realized I forgot to take the batteries out, and they had corroded and ruined the light. I don’t use it very often, but when I do, I really do need it.
Last week I replaced it. Because I have a photo shoot coming up. I’m excited. (Hopefully, I’ll get to share the results.) Here’s a hint of what I might be doing with it.
I have started a new knitting project. It’s a pullover raglan sweater. We’ll see how this goes.
Of course, I have my usual knitting help.
Bob’s health continues to fail. The other day, he literally slept in the same spot for about twelve hours. He seems to be getting a little unsteady when I set him down from my lap. I can’t keep him in the house where he belongs because he hates everyone in here.
When it was nicer last week, he got into another fight with Tux. It won’t be long because I can’t keep him in constant pain and miserable.
In happier news, I am thrilled to say the Christmas cactus is blooming.
It’s got several more blossoms that are going to open soon.
Herbie decided to try out the open shelf on the plant stand. He looks like another cute little statue. Unfortunately, it gives him pretty good access to nibble on the plant next to him.
I still haven’t repotted the plants because the only potting soil I could find was outside and frozen solid. I’ll just wait until they get more in for the spring.
Since this seems to be a post that is all about cats, Tux has accepted the full-time position of Eden Hills barn cat.
It will be his job to help keep rodents away.
Finally, it seems like every weekend I’m making some sort of seitan (vegetarian meat substitute made with vital wheat gluten).
Last weekend it was bacon. Up next is turkey.
