*lately not either way

Yeah if things have been going well either way your neighbor lately the last thing you need is a rooster!

I don’t advocate for using chemicals but this pesticide box is a classic.

That your bike? Did I tell you I got a new one (Trek FX 3). Haven’t gotten a chance to ride much yet but hoping to soon!

This was Celine 😿

Aw! Best kind of neighbor quiet at night (unless gets the zoomies!)

Some window cats of Philadelphia

“Photograph me like one of your French cats!” 😹

Stopped by my favorite street in Philadelphia today (Jessup by Pine). I love my country Philadelphia!

By the way anytime I’ve ever made squash it’s never been in front of a backdrop like that one! 😹

Please let me know how it differs from the Japanese squash kabocha. The interior looks similar but the surface a little different.

One of my favorite window cats crossed the rainbow bridge. Celine brought me much joy on my way to patco every morning. As she did to many others too. 😿

France may have overthrown the monarchy in 1792 but they didn’t know about chonk back then!

The tail tells a tale!

If I had a balcony on the other side of the street I’d be taking pictures of him every day. 😻

Philly city hall

Philadelphia city hall today. Love those trees!

I’d rather be in the place where I see pictures of Blini Mimo Calvin and Chonk! But Bluesky improved 100% when you could follow all posts by selected people. Before the feed would rarely give me your (and franglaise) posts now I get them all which is much better.

My mental health improved after my account was hacked. And x’s response (“not our problem”) shows only one account on that site matters: EM. It once was a pretty cool place. Utter enshittification. I only stayed for the 100 or so Philly friends who didn’t come here but I was long over that cesspool.

Girl with Easter baskets

Easter at the Ukrainian Church.

Man to leave a paint tray out like that out with a cat not locked in another room says you like to live dangerously franglaise! 😹

Fall

Winter

Spring

What a difference a few months makes! (Alverthorpe Park by Philly)

He should have a tin cup that he drags across those bars making a sound for good measure!

Is he a cat burglar? What did he steal this time? 😹

The only way it could be more fun is if two cats walked across it leaving paw prints there and tracking the cement all through the house (been there!)

And it’s not a Japanese Kobocha squash? It looks a little different but wonder if it is similar. Please post a picture when you cut it open! I’m curious…

Sorry de police!

I remember in Poitiers passing by the hotel du police and asking my friend Cedtic Bouquet “oh is that a hotel you can stay at?” He was like “well if you feel like robbing a store then yes!”

Cat

She is a wonderful cat. But she has that mischievous side too always wanting to climb things. I remember once you looking all around got her only to find her high up in a closet! “Who me? I’m innocent! I have no intention of chewing that plant up there!” 😹

Back then in the 80s finding a coffee shop with an espresso or cappuccino machine was hard to come by and they always had those fancy huge brass machines. Somehow I think if I find that instant coffee it will be a real let down…😹
