Just casually trying to video some fresh tiktok stuff on why the security awareness industry needs to take a long hard look at itself and Sméagol is repeatedly bombing into me. I have no use able takes and have decided that Sméagol cuddles are way more important. Especially as I had a nice LinkedIn comment battle about how public WiFi is fine and people who can't do risk assessments and only want to do 'awareness' are the problem.
Smaug has decided that ekekeking the pigeon is more important than anything and Gimli wants cuddles but keeps being bapped by Sméagol

Gimli judges us all

Today Smaug decided that I am her bed. She has meowed pitifully everytime she wants help onto my lap and then (unlike the boys) goes to sleep FOREVER

Smaug enjoying my painting honeycombs blanket!

Rosie Cotton doesn’t want to snuggle with Éowyn so she has burrowed half of her gloriously fat self under a blanket. #catstodon #caturday #catsofmastodon #lotrcats #chonk

Me and Smaug relaxing under the finished honeycomb knitted blanket!
Great first day at new job today, really excited to see what the future brings

Thought you all might enjoy Smaug curled up like a shrimp

Sméagol looking beyond cute. He's a big fan of half on half off

Gimli has settled in for the morning. I hope he has some good suggestions for my meetings.

The cat food is in a system in the cupboard. The system was designed so that a quick look would tell you if they had, in fact, been fed or not when they screamed at you for existing near the food cupboard.

They are on a strict diet as they are smol and have cronchy bed time treats so they don't get fat.

I have discovered today that someone has ruined the lovely system in the food cupboard. This has been achieved by the cats obviously sounding soooo terribly starved when someone else went to feed them because I was in a meeting that they were fed way more food than they should have been.

I am a quarter of my way through knitting this blanket (featuring Smaug who insisted that it was, in fact, knitted enough for her to use already) and the wool I ordered for a dark shawl version has arrived.
I am now very tempted to have two giant projects in the go. I am also very aware that beautiful locally sourced and hand dyed wool of good quality is wonderful and I can only ever afford it in the sale and that there are no more sales for the foreseeable, so I can't buy more.
