Mr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Jan 5, 2023

Someone replied to one of my Toots yesterday saying that they "didn't have a life worth Tooting about."

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Earlier I posted about having to do laundry and how I kept putting it off for 3 days. Only a few people responded, but we still made a brief but fun connection. Not because we were told to meet by some algorithm, but because of circumstance.

Kind of like if I had gone to a laundromat.

Connections, even brief ones, can be meaningful.

@Mrfunkedude #today I did laundry, which is currently “trending” - who knew?!
And I made tacos, cuz doing laundry makes me hungry.

@TriciaA17 #today I got soaking wet taking one of our cats to the vet for his innoculations. That's 2 out of five done so far. #cats not getting soaked. Been soaked nearly every day since Christmas.

@BogLoper five? You are a cat god! Especially since you’re keeping them safe, healthy and cozy in what sounds like a very wet world.

@TriciaA17 Sounds even wetter #today. There is a warning from the MET office for heavy rain. Makes me wonder if someone goes out with some scales and weighs it? Next vet visit tomorrow morning at 10.20. Number 3/5 - Patch Cat. He's obviously a cat but only comes if you use the 'cat' on the end.

@BogLoper I think they use a measuring cup of some sort to measure precipitation, rain and snow. Pretty archaic, but maybe it’s been updated by now (middle school science class was a long time ago) Your cat sounds like an aristocrat, he insists on using his proper name - first and last. Now that’s classy!

@TriciaA17 Five of them. Ginger Prince. His sister Princess. Splodge (f) and her brother Patch cat (rescues) plus Cuthbert, left behind when our neighbours moved. He spent more time in ours anyway:

@BogLoper is this Patch Cat? He looks so stoic!

@TriciaA17 Cuthbert. I'll try and find a pic of Patch Cat for you.

@BogLoper I love that name, and Splodge too! Very different and memorable.
