How is Leonard ? I must say that I like that name very much .

 

Leonard is mostly fine, although he seems to be a little skitterish.  He is in constant state of high alert.  Makes sense, he spent most of the first 4 years of his life in a 600 sq. ft.  1 bedroom apartment, then a few other similar-sized apartments while some friends watched him, to finally 4 different hotels rooms over the last 2 weeks. Now, he's in a 2200 st ft, 2 story house with 10 rooms to explore and it seems to overwhelm him.  He's getting better. We've been busy over the last 2 days "Lenny-proofing" the house and getting him settled and comfortable.  Along with some of his old favorite toys & scratch pads, we bought some new toys, better litter boxe, scratching post and cat tower so he is more at ease now.  It's comical to watch him walk up and down stairs as that seems to be new to him We do need to get a collar with a bell as we are constantly "losing" him only to find him sleeping behind drapes or on a dining room chair where the table cloth shields him from view.

 

Last night, it was cool enough to finally shut off the AC & let some fresh air into the house. Leonard quickly ran from window to window, fascinated by the sounds of crickets. Open the door to let him on the deck, he looked around as the cricket sounds are particular loud this time of year & after 10 seconds, quickly ran inside. 🙂

 

As for names, in addition to the aforementioned nicknames quoted above, he also goes by Snuggle McDuggle, Snugit or just Nugit for short, Snoogle McDoogle and Leonard Kittenstein. There are  few more that I can't remember. 

 

But I still just call him Leonard.🙂

I cannot count the number of late nite Sorrentos runs I have done to put pizza in the fridge so my daughter will have something to eat in the morning.

 

Since the plates do not sit well in the fridge we let the slices cool a bit then 2 will fit pointy end down in a glass which will then fit in the fridge. 

Those cooler boxes or fridge doesn't keep anything cold anyway, might as leave the pizza on the countertop with a napkin covering it or with a plate and one of those covers they bring with plates for room service.

Graham- Lovely photos of the Lake District!

 I am getting more and more convinced that I would like to explore the area. Giving thought to the possibility of visiting in 2023 as part of a British Isles Cruise holiday.

Always good to have a dream!

Regards to you and Pauline-

Free Sorrento's pizza tastes great after an evening in the casino of drinking and losing money😆

It also tasted great  (and was a life saver) after the stinky dinner in Wonderland....I am one of those minority who does not like Wonderland dinners. I like the ambiance and the chocolate globe, but not a fan of the food that does not look like food. LOL😁

Plenty of babies fail their first hearing test for reasons that mean nothing serious.

 

Ours also "failed" the 1st test... "Le bébé est sourd" [your baby is deaf] the nurses told me.

 

And I, with the assurance of a first time mother, replied straight faced: "No way, my baby is perfect".

 

He passed the 2nd test with flying colors 😁

Eric was not interested in Wonderland but on our last Anthem sailing I had booked for his BD as it was time to go down the rabbit hole.   

i told him if he wasnt happy then we would get a pizza or go to JRs.

We enjoyed just about everything they brought out.  But as you said most of the meal I wasn't quite sure what I was eating.

I just booked us for Anthem sailing for Eric's BD cruise sailing out of cape liberty on 3.26.23. 

I used my free annual casino prime cruise.  They are for interiors but we upgraded to an OVB.  Cabin 7254 with extra wide balcony and double window like JSs have.  We like these rectangular cabins.   Screenshot_20220812-212812_Chrome.thumb.jpg.d49caddd8a29fc254f66f34c9da02374.jpgAfter he applied our diamond discount for balcony and 55+ discount the upgrade was free.  While actually he said it be $4.88 but he waived that when he saw it was Eric's BD cruise.😀

We still have his free annual cruise to use.  Not sure yet what we will do with that one.   

That sounds great,Debbie.

We liked it enough on Symphony that we did it again on Harmony.   It is a mystery what you are eating but it was a fun experience.   Might be hard to believe but I like it more than Sorrento's pizza! 😆

We had a two story condo then house, cats were used to running down the stairs at full speed , then we removed the carpet for hardwood floors, cats had to learn to slow down since they would crash against the wall since they couldn’t grip on the wood . Our current cat joebob once did a shortcut from second floor and skip the stairs luckily he was ok, back in his kitten days.

In the 60’s my wife and I rescued cats.We gave everyone of them human names.Our three favorite that we almost kept were Priscilla ,Elizabeth and Wivenhoe.Priscilla looked just like Leonard.We hopefully found good homes for all the cats we rescued.

We have tile floors.  Annabel has learned to drift around corners and taught Samantha how to do it too.  They don't slow down much when they are in full zoomy mode!  In Texas we had a second floor and Cinnamon decided to skip the stairs.  He had a hernia that had to be fixed from that jump.
