WEDNESDAY

Ten years ago we brought home a 2-year old dark grey hazel eyed cat who couldn't adjust to the new bulldog that had entered his life.  He was a quiet natured fellow but he appreciated the arrival of 1-year old black Joey a year later.  They were best buddies until this past year when Barkley began to prefer to be left alone by still energetic Joey.  His favorite resting place was stretched out on a pair of horizontal legs and don't let the keyboard crowd him. 

We lost dear old Barkley during the night.  He's been fading the last couple months, sleeping lots, no appetite but not in pain.  No interest in canned food even.  Joey misses him and we're discussing looking for a little lady cat to keep him company in a month or so.

Mostly we spent a quiet day... poked around the Internet... broke down a few sample books... consoled Joey quite a long time.  This evening was Moot, reporting on results from Cattle Raids and thoughts for improvements next year, preparations for the Jubilee Reign, and planning for Baronial A&S and Yule Court. 
MONDAY

Still overcast and damp so Leofwyna headed off to cheer up a friend and I finished sewing the gift bags... 75 in all.  I still need to thread the cords through them all but that's for another day.   She brought home steaks and fresh corn for supper... probably the last time to grill and definately the end of the fresh corn for the year.  After supper she processed more corn for the freezer.  We finished the day breaking down more sample books.   Got out the tag punch to use on some pages from the sample books; now we've got a huge pile of colorful non-seasonal tags and no idea where they'll be used.

Poor old Barkley is showing his age; I cleaned up after him several times this evening. 

TUESDAY

Spent a good chunk of the day doing personal and baronial paperwork.  I am as ready as I can be for Moot tomorrow.  Got out and mowed the entire yard bagging the clippings for compost while Leofwyna continued dismantling the fence.  She's been dealing with the fence gradually for a week and has nearly gotten it done.  Tonight we went to the south Valentinos for supper and stopped at Bryan Hospital for a quick tour of the new Women's Tower where she's now working; that's some special facility!  And then back to the sample books.
