Sunday Post #373

So last week I promised pictures of the stray kittens hanging around. Sadly, I have not seen them in a few days but we were putting food out for them. I don't have very good pics either, but here are a few. 
 


Covid update! I'm feeling good, the only problem I'm having now is the fatigue you hear about. Sometimes I just want to sleeeeeeep. But other than that all seems well. Oh, and I'm happy to report that I have resumed my Friday night tradition of Chinese takeout. Yummy!!! 

Song of the week

PULP COVER OF THE WEEK: 


BOOKISH LINKS

This walking tour of the famous Shibuya area is amazing although a bit long. I love the rooftop volleyball area at 32 minutes in, and the fish tank at 52:58.  


Books!

    Cute kitten! Definitely a shy little guy there. So they are for sure strays? Hopefully they'll get found and helped before the weather turns too cold! And some nice pics there, I like the last one - very suitable for the season :)

      Thanks! Yes they were VERY shy. I didn't even get any good pics of the others. and now we're not sure where they are. :(

    Aww! I love black kittens!

    I'm glad you're improving, even if you're still feeling tired and sleepy. As long as those are your only remaining symptoms so far (and as long as they're going to recede), you got lucky!

    Yay for feeling better and eating Chinese food. Get plenty of rest though. It's so hard not to try and push through but you're tired for a reason! That black kitten is so adorable! There is nothing cuter then a kitten! Hope you have a great week and keep resting.

    I’m hoping you get through the fatigue but I know it can hang about, glad you are on the mend.

    I love the Japanese walkthrough videos, I find them very relaxing to watch.

    Have a good week and take care.

    I don't know if you watched the rerun of The Gilded Lily on Perry Mason? It was released in 1958, but I know neither of us were around when it originally aired. Interesting show. Yay to you feeling better and celebrating with a yummy dinner on Friday. The perfect treat to eat while watching Netflix. I'm so thrilled that you're doing much better. That truly makes my day. Hugs, RO

    It's funny, it's been years since I listened to Bloodletting, I must have the CD somewhere ;) All those bookstores in Japan, I'm just itching to go there ! I was surprised to see a French flag on an apparently French store. Tnaks for the promenade in Tokyo, I'd love to go there one day...

    I love your song this week! I was a huge Concrete Blonde fan back in my crazy goth-alternative youth! Lol.

    I am so glad you are feeling better even though you are tired. And Chinese takeaway is the best. We have a running tradition of getting Chinese on the first snow of the year - we already have our restaurant picked out already for this winter's takeout order - the Peterboro in Detroit. Fancy Chinese!

    Those kittens are so darn cute!!

    Such a nice hangout for the kitties. I hope they do return to be fed or someone else is feeding them. Miss Chinese food, no good place around my mom's house. One of the first things I will get when returning to GH. Continued good wishes as you recover!

    I'm glad you're feeling better and hope the fatigue passes soon. The black kitty is so cute! My brother-in-law has 3 black cats, a tuxedo cat, and a tortoiseshell. The tortoiseshell is a Hemingway cat with that extra toe so her paws look like mittens. I hope the kittens are okay!

    Enjoy your week!

    I am so, so glad to hear that you are feeling better, or at least on the mend - fatigue is no joke. You can go about your daily business thinking you are fine and then BOOM! it hits you and you are suddenly exhausted.

    There's a black kitty! Looks like Stinkie!! Oh you have to keep it Greg.Black Cats are the best. Don't let Elza hear me.

    I saw a Perry Mason book on sale on BookBub this week and thought I have to read one of those.

    Glad you are feeling better. Get yourself a good immune booster and maybe a nice Vitamin B shot. Might help...

    Have a good week and here's my The Sunday Post #16

    Sleep as much as you can. It will help you heal to 100%. 👏👏👏

    We were only getting take-out once a month and choosing between pizza and Chinese, but we have decided to do take-out twice a month now so we can have both. Ha ha. We all need to pamper ourselves a bit extra during these times. 🍜🍕

    Have a wonderful new week! 🌞
