My big beautiful Sunny was born 28 years ago today.
He was born into my hands and died in my arms 16 years later.
I still miss him, his blue eyes, those white toes…

I bought little stick-on white and orange hooks for the bathroom and kitchen and I am (sadly) way too happy about this. But aren’t they adorable?
Also found the PERFECT container to store sliced lemons on the otherwise useless top shelf on the fridge door. I AM OVER THE MOON. And yes, I need a life. But c’mon, that lemon thingy is perfection.

According to HERE, the last time I bought new towels was in July 2016 (!!!) which will explain why my present towels are like thin loofahs at this point. So I took advantage of the summer sales and found these fluffy guys at 50% off. They are up drying on the roof as we speak. Can’t wait for my next shower. How often do you replace towels and sheets?

I may be in the minority here, but I really don’t like baths. In fact, I remember my last bath clearly, almost seven years ago in November 2014 when I stayed at the fabulous Parador Hotel in Cádiz. And the only reason I took a bath there (normally hotel bathtubs are to be avoided like the plague) was because the damn thing was massive, made of stone (or marble?) and about 8 metres long. And so I filled it up using the lovely bath products provided… and lasted about ten minutes. I mean… meh. The idea of sitting around making “body soup” has never appealed and I don’t find it particularly relaxing. I guess I just get bored? Anyhow, how about you?
The other more practical matter is, as the years go by and if you never take baths, having to climb in and out of a slippery tub to take a shower is fraught with peril. Hence I totally love my big walk-in rain shower 💦🚿

Luna on her tattered throne. As you can see I still haven’t taken the old shredded cat stand down to the rubbish bins and I think Luna actually prefers this one. Someone suggested that she thinks of it as a personal accomplishment and I reckon there is something to that. She’s been making some headway on the new one, but this is the one she always goes back to.
