Well, you've read the notes, the notes were riveting, and now it is time for you to post until the riveting cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Well, I thought it would be done with episode eight, but no - I just read it goes to thirteen episodes.  Trying not to read any more than that - still gripping and I will have to watch the final three when I get up.

Good morning, all.

And what's this, am I the first one on this morning? It's almost 9:30 on a beautiful Saturday morning. Up and at 'em, folks!

Not that I have anything to report. Just doing more work around the house today. I also hope to take it a little bit easy through the weekend because the contractors are planning to start working on things first thing Monday morning and it's going to be totally crazy here.

I fed the cats and went back to bed.  I need to refill the humidifier, then deal with the litter.

Here's part of Magnificat Rescue's update on Mousey:
We started getting pictures this morning and then we talked to Joyce and to her younger daughter. The meeting between Mousey and their other cat, Princess, will be tomorrow, because they wisely want to do a slow introduction. In the meantime, Mousey is downstairs, in the room with the computer and the recliner. As a result, the entire family troops up and down the stairs to spend time with Mousey.

Mousey is doing splendidly. He is eating well and using his litter box. He was a bit shy last night and hid under the desk. Today, he is busy taking possession of his new family. They cannot get over how affectionate he is and how well he fits in, as if he had always known them. The minute one of them sits on the recliner, Mousey leaps into their lap. They talk to him, telling him how happy they are to have him, and he laps up every word and rubs against them to show he understands what he means to them.

This is Rita, the Trap-Neuter-Release person who rescued Mousey in the Bronx and fostered him during the search for his family.

Got some garden work done this morning and got covered with those fuzzy things that are so irritating. I hope I've gotten them all.

Many of the plants have died in the heat. The two pattypan squashes are gone. The tomato is barely hanging on. The peppers are sad, though I have two small jalapenos that are almost ready. But I've got cucumbers and an amazing amount of tomatillos. I harvested the last from the first wave a couple of days ago and now there are four that are almost as large as the ones I picked.

The crepe myrtle is festooned with a dazzling array of lavender flowers. Here's a stock image that's something like it, though only just the top half of mine is in flower. The bottom is a nice green.

Vibes for TCB. It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Sandy died. How are you feeling about that?

I am sorry.  A friend had planned to go to Austin and cancelled due to the heat.
