My indoor bell pepper-garden has gone very well, and a whooping 10 of them were ripe and ready to use now! Today: crockpot with pasta sauce, a bit of chili, spicy sausages and strips of pepper. Served with fusilli pasta, for scooping up the most sauce! Cook on high for +2h. #Cooking #Crockpot

Looks like a bad case of The Mondays. #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #husky

Saw a question on FB, "Which alien species would you most want to encounter". First I thought Denobulans (Dr Phlox, Star Trek Enterprise), they seem so nice and open. But of course, it would be Tribbles 😀 Soft and fluffy, doesn't bite. Perfect alien species/pet!

SOUND ON! Fluffin' hell, Rufus gets worse and worse for every time I trim his nails. And let me tell you, I don't do it more often than I absolutely must. He wants me dead! The other three are less vocal and murdery... #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

I've had a nice weekend, meeting people and doing a bit of shopping in Oslo =) But of course, no trip is complete without great food! The amazing Caesar salad is from a burger joint (sorry, not sorry) and afternoon tea the day after with @sknetti.bsky.social and her mini-me!

Pigeons in Oslo yesterday. A lady was feeding them, and picked up a couple that had injuries. She stuffed them in her backpack, probably to take home or to the vet. They obviously knew the drill, because they came in from all directions when she showed up!

If you don't feel judged by that look, I'm unsure if you even have a soul 😂 #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

Not a fjord, but #Norway at least. Waiting for my car to charge, it said I'd be at -4% to get all the way home. #Espa #Espabolle

A calm TNG-episode in bed at the hotel 😂

I can almost get to and back home from where I usually park in Oslo without charging my car. Almost... If I drove less aggressively I'd probably make it just fine 😂

You can spend a fortune on cat toys, or just wave a bit of plastic around. Same effect! Felix has some energy to burn off, it seems. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Rufus doesn't just get bed-head he gets bed-body. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Strange dog in the yard... #Wildlife #GardenMuncher #DestructoDonkey #RoseBushKiller #WalkingDinner #WhereIsMyGun

Pretty kitty! This one also calls for a stupid color on the nose, so I'm bringing out my ball of pink yarn again for this snoot. #embroidery #crossstitch #crafting #handmade #stitchsky #craftsky #tapestry

Boop the snoot! #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Work in progress update from our forever-but-not-right-now home. It was decided today that the chimney has to go, so that's an added piece of "fun". We think we can get the demolition work squeezed in between Friendsgiving and Christmas. Good thing I'm not planning to do a lot of Christmas baking!

Got my nails done the other day =) #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

The Winter Tree is up! Not a #Christmas / #Yule tree, the ornaments are mostly snow, star, cat, wildlife and Nightmare Before Christmas themed. Lots of it is hand made by me. I usually set it up at the first snow, often late October, but no snow yet, so I'm cheating. I take it down in mid January.

Important work ongoing. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Work is still ongoing at our house. The roof on the old part is being raised and made bigger, so it looks like it is one and not two houses that has crashed. Now we have found another issue, our chimney can't be raised. So... what to do? Demolish it, two floors + attic, and then what? Ugh.

I bought this KALLAX box for Tibbs. Haven't seen him in it so far, but there has been other takers at least! Didn't even expect Felix to fit his whole hunkachunk in there. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Getting my feet pampered. I haven't got a snowballs chance in hell doing this properly myself. #chronicpain #spoonie #spinefracture #compressionfracture #fibromyalgia #fibro #fibrofighter

Our taste in lamps is a bit different to most people. This is four of our 6(7) lamps in this series. I'll take photos of the last ones when they are all working. They can all be dimmed, and give out SO MUCH light on max that you don't even consider it. Manufacturer is called Nova Life.

It's been a lazy Sunday. Rufus and his big fan club (Mochi) had a long snooze on the sofa at home, before we moved to the exile-house again. You can really see the size difference between a MC and a regular cat. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

It's Christmas soon, and I'm working on the cards when I am at home. Most of my other projects are going on i the exile-house. I don't know what more than cards I'd be able to make at home, it is so messy in those crafts rooms! #craftsky #crafting #crafts #papercraft #papercrafting #cardmaking

Tuva is an inside-cat in training. She has some ways to go, especially when it comes to litter boxes (pee in it, don't eat it!), but she is lazy enough! #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon #alaskahusky #dog #dogsofbluesky #dogs #husky

Celebrated having lived in Moelv for 22 years, by eating out in the next town over, Brumunddal ;P The rivalry is real. But I am glad there is no Indian food in our town, it would not go well for us. I'm so full... #Norway #Innlandet #Ringsaker

Bedbugs are called "wall creatures" in Norwegian. And we definitely have those! Hard to get rid of, I'm told. Haven't really tried... #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Got this gift-with-purchase #Lego set, and I guess this was the day to build it =) Yes, it glows!

When I grew up there was no #Halloween here in #Norway. Now it is mostly a money-pressure-drama-crazy thing for the kids. The closest our household will get to dressing up is Rufus self-sorting into a MONSTER-tray ;P #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

Maybe I'll finish it before autumn becomes winter? Hard to tell around where I live. Today it was frosty out for hours before it thawed out. #embroidery #crossstitch #crafting #handmade #stitchsky #craftsky #tapestry

When you make toys for babies, you don't have to make something fancy. Just make something soft, easy to grab, and possible to wash. I used to make these fluffy bunnies, and I had a good stock, but now I'm out! #craftsky #crafting #crafts #sewing #handmade

#ThrowbackThursday of baby Åsta! She was born at our house, with her three siblings. We had homes lined up for twice that many puppies. Fun experience, but won't do it again. Too much work! #alaskahusky #dog #petsofbluesky #dogsofbluesky #dogs #husky #puppy #newborn

Felix had his first vet appointment in two years, we simply forgot to do it last year. Nothing to note, except that he wanted to help out down there. Healthy and curious as ever =) #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Neighbors cat for #WhiskersWednesday She is moving soon, I'm going to miss her, but not how she uses my vegetable garden as a toilet... #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

New crafting tool. Or, at least new for me! Christmas presents in the making, hopefully.

New kitten in town, called Påsan. Ego the size of Norway, wanted to break into our catio, hissing and SCREAMING about fighting our 4 boys. It was past his bedtime, got collected by mom, he was wearing an airtag. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

Almost exactly 10 years between these pictures. Rufus is still king of the car, as he is King of Everything. We had to drive between homes the other day, it was raining, and he was NOT walking. The new Volvo was accepted. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

I'm not a birb-watcher, but the cats are, and I think this one was quite nice looking. If I actually had an interest I'd get better pictures than this ;P

Made jello candy again yesterday, I need to do this more often! It only takes a couple of minutes + time to set (2-4 hours). #cooking #candy

The cats got a new toy, and they definitely love it! Things move in there, there is a feather, a string, it makes sounds and generally does all the things they want a toy to do. USB-C charging too, I like that! #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Got a package from #DisneyStore today. That is just too adorable! Packaging done right =) #Disney #Shopping #Packaging

Help my friend escape her hell! I usually don't post things like this, but I know this woman well, and I am truly afraid for her life. I've donated a good chunk, every little bit helps. Had she been in Norway I would have had her out of there a long time ago. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/escapefrom...

Tibbs was so proud of himself yesterday, Rufus had managed to get stuck between a bed and a dresser, and Tibbs is our resident alarm-sounder. He fetched help from humans and absolutely knew he was the "hero of the day" ;P #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats

How lovely for a pattern to match how I stitch, wanting to start at the upper right corner and work my way down to the lower left. Never had anything so smooth before ;P (Yes, I am weird) #embroidery #crossstitch #crafting #handmade #stitchsky #craftsky #tapestry

Found a current areal photo of our neighborhood in the sales listing of a nearby home, that includes both where we live in the weekdays and our regular home where we live in the weekends. And the property between them... exciting times ahead. Or as the curse says "may you live in interesting times".

That nose. I just love it so much! I find it in my business too often, but that white stripe is just so adorable I find it hard to be mad. Doesn't help to get mad anyway, he doesn't understand, or learn anything #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats #mainecoon

Color of the day, silver! #craftsky #crafting #crafts #papercraft #papercrafting #scrapbooking #cardmaking

Went to a housewarming party, and the guests all brought snacks ;P I'm the odd one out with grapes and cookies, and I also brought a bag of cat toys and treats for the cat that spent the evening under the bed, she wasn't in the mood for socializing!

It's been 10 years since we got Rufus! Or, more like he got us, and took over. Everything. Here he is with his sister, which I would have had a hard time not taking home if she wasn't already promised to someone else. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #caturdayeveryday #petsofbluesky #blueskycats
