Fields of cows, Tommy the cat and Nameless Fish all add up to a splendid weekend! The pictures are beautiful.

Love the pictures. The moss on the rocks and ruins tells us that you are not kidding when you describe your rains.

Cats are oh-so-wise creatures...even though I've been without Gershwin and Miss Bessie Smith for several years, I yearn some days for their company. I always admired one quaility of cats: superiorness without a care for those around them.

Gershwin was with me for almost 13 years; Miss Bess until one-month-shy of her 21st birthday - that's a long time to get used to being snubbed all day, every day, and when they got bored with snubbing me, they napped...or ate...

Your walks sound invigorating and I enjoyed your pictures; I was reminded of my visit to Scotland in 1999. I enjoy walking, however, the friends I stayed with didn't enjoy it - so I headed out on my own and possess fond memories of traipsing through Glasgow and the hills and vales near Stirling. Thanks for sharing those photos.

Ha ha. Ups and downs. :P

I only hope you are feeling well in all ways. You deserve it.

We have a crazy, maniacal, and then weirdly snuggly attack cat. He fits in with us, too. Kind of scary.

Ahoy Scarlett!
Yes, allow yourself to relax for the rest of the day (although I believe it's night as you're across the pond, so to speak). The 'Grandfish' and the 'Grandcat' and the 'Grandmonsters'? I love it! Personally, mine are 'Grandannasons' as I wear a bandanna all the time, and so I am known to them as 'Grandanna'.
As for walking? I totally admire you. I don't drive anymore and walk everywhere I have to go, including walking 8 miles roundtrip (2 hours) just to get a bag of tobacco. I'm 47, but I can still do it (and yes, I know that doesn't make any sense-why walk 8 miles to kill myself for cancer sticks?). I'm just saying I can still do it, and I AM TRYING TO QUIT!
Tell Mey Ling I hope everything comes out alright (I know-bad humor), and have a great time in Menorca (wherever that may be).
Write on and rock on!

That's a long walk...but it sounds beautiful. Kitties are no trouble unless you want them to do something. They are very independent little dudes! Not sure about fish...never had any of those (that survived, at least ).

Ups and downs. Like the hills, filled with mud and rock?
Yep! That pretty much sums it up.
Have fun with the fish and the cat.

Oh, Scarlett, I really enjoyed this clever entry!! Keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny time on your vacation!

There's no need to visit a zoo, you're your own zoo. I wonder if we all slip from one thing to another and I like the way you used animals as a metaphor for mood. Instead of using those little face icons to show mood, perhaps they should use little animal icons.

Hmm, I wonder what I am right now? I'm thinking hermit crab.

Great post. Take care of yourself and perhaps you will become a roaring tigress.

I don't eat meat except in a hamburger maybe 2 times a month. I find it healthy to eat more other stuff...and wine is INCLUDED! I hope you find the sun in Menorca, of course it's in the 90's here so I am in a bathing suit...of course nobody else sees me!

I think it is tough to go to sleep, but knowing the construction crew comes at 7 am is usually enough to get me down earlier.

WUB you!
