Yesterday (May 2nd) was Kelly’s birthday.
So, belated happy birthday to him.
That makes today my bloggerversary.
It’s my 18th bloggerversary, and the first thing I posted, back when I started my blog in 2006, was a belated birthday post for Kelly.
So, happy bloggerversary to me.
Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
I had one of those birthday things on Tuesday.
I’m now seven years old.
I got a donkey toy and a chewie stick.
Here are a couple of photos of me with the toy:
I love birthdays!
Lots of licks,
Lilie
I’ve started trying to go to the ACB calls when I can again. It’s tiring, but it’s nice to be back in touch with the friends I made when I was more active in the community before I got sick. I miss feeling well enough to do more, but can’t be helped.

I’ve made some progress with the things I’m watching and reading, but there’s nothing new to report besides what I said in last week’s post, so you can check that out if you missed what I’m watching and reading and are curious.

It’s been pretty wet here. So, typical Welsh weather.

It was my brother's birthday last Friday. So, happy belated birthday to Wayne.

And that’s the extent of news from my little corner of the world.
I never got around to sharing my birthday photos. So, here are the flowers I got:
The yellow ones in the bunch are from Kelly, and the pink ones are from a friend named Dara.
And here are my birthday cards:

We went minimalistic with decorations this year, but one thing we did get was a real tree. We don’t usually, but I love the idea of real trees, so Dara helped Kelly to arrange it for me as a special treat. And here it is:
One photo shows it during daylight, the other after sunset.
Also, here are the Christmas cards we’ve received so far:

When Dara went to pick up the tree, they were handing out dried lavender, so she grabbed me some…
My living room smells like a cross between a lavender field
and a Christmas tree farm, and I love it!
Hi everyone. This is Artemis the tortoise.
This past Wednesday (September 6th) was my 4th hatchday.
The human caretakers gave me some rocket leaves and raspberries to celebrate. No prizes for guessing which I was most excited about.
Mmmm! I love hatchday treats!

It was my Dad's birthday this past Tuesday (June 13th) and will be Fathers' Day this coming Sunday (June 18th). So, happy birthday, Dad, and happy father's day to both my Dad and Kelly's. Though I doubt either of them will see this.

The hot weather has arrived. Apparently this isn’t as hot as it will get, but it’s already hotter than I’d like; temperatures that are hitting the high 70s and low 80s F are too much for me. So my week has been a combination of trying to deal with the heat, Zoom calls and phone calls, and the usual day to day chores and pet care (for Izabel as well as my own petkids).
Yes, my Mam is still in hospital, though they hope to have her stable enough to go home soon. She’ll never be fully better, but I’m sure she’ll be glad to go home. Anyway, my brother, Wayne, and I went to see her yesterday (Thursday). We got a ride from Wayne’s downstairs neighbour. We didn’t tell her we were coming, so it was a nice surprise for her.
Just as I was getting ready to leave, one of the landlord’s maintenance guys asked if he could come do the couple of smaller jobs that the other guys didn’t do (different kinds of repair guys… I’m sure you know how that goes). I figured Kelly would rather not deal with that and the house full of dogs by himself, so asked the guy if he could come today (Friday) or some time next week. He’s meant to be coming some time this morning, so might even be here, or – if I’m really lucky – have been and gone already, by the time this goes live.
It doesn’t look like much when you put it in a blog post, but this is one of those times when a short post covers a lot of stuff, because there really is nothing else to say about this past week.
I hope you’ve had a good week, and that you’re staying cool – or hot… Depending on which applies to you.
