I will have to check my notes, but I remember hearing that necessity was the mother of invention. Well, I just watched a session (involving mothers, possibly) where people presented their favourite gadget for camping. And I am simply amazed.

We all have regrets. One that I am willing to mention: that for too long I ignored the pleasures of coffee and chocolate. Even, if you want to push the envelope, combinations involving the two. Coffee Crisp!

Imagine being asked if you are willing to share. As a condition of employment. Specifically, your bed. Keeping this as family content, I will explain more. First of all, I had no brothers. Never had to share my bed. And from what I have read, back in the war, on ships, the sailors had insufficient bunks for the personnel. So, they “hot bunked”.

In the absence of big moments, the smaller ones get my attention. And you bear witness to my trivial lifestyle. Today, I awoke to the sound of feet on the roof. Clarification: people feet.

When the tweet announced that their boy had mastered the use of the home toilet, I figured it was another case of proud parents. The photo told us so much more. Those pointed ears. That tail. A cat! Parents are funny that way. My own conclusion is that the feline brain looked outside and realized the humans had a good idea, for once.

Another day, another jab. Actually, based on my own checklist and a rapid consultation with the pharmacist, I might be done for now. The professional advice was to contact Public Health and see if there was any other product in the back of their cooler. No. I’m good. And a bit sore. We aren’t designed to serve as human pincushion.
