A gray shorthair tabby cat lies across my lap with his head cradled in my right hand.
When Narvik wants attention, he gets attention.

I don't do the checking for pests/cleaning when I bring them inside - I'll have to start doing that. Thank you for the tip!
Approximately from May to October. I've kept the poinsettia inside so far, maybe I'll try to take it out this year.
I see. That would require finding the insects, though, and when I've found them, I can just scrape them off. I'd need something to spray on the whole plant so it "finds" them for me. I spent almost an hour yesterday going over all the leaves and branches, just to find more that I didn't spot today 😭
Yes, the plants I put outside in warm months are dealing with them easier. I do scrape off any that I see, but the problem is the bastards are blending in so well, especially on the poinsettia (they're easier to spot on my citrus trees). I'm not sure insecticidal soap can be bought in my country 🤔
Top view of the head and shoulders of a gray tabby cat in my lap. His right front leg is casually stretched across the arm of the chair.
Happy kitty Narvik, resting in my lap.

Comfy position 😄
A gray shorthair tabby cat lies on a wooden stairway. He faces left with his head extending beyond the stairs. His left front leg rests on the stair below him. Firewood can be seen on the ground, underneath the porch.
I have a lot of pictures of Narvik on the stairway behind the house. That's one of his favorite observation posts.

The photo is from https://
jomostudio.com/blogs/plant-with-jomo/common-houseplant-pests-how-to-deal-with-scale , where horticultural oil is recommended, which, however, on other sites, is said to be ineffective on the waxy stage 😞
A close-up photo of scale insects of various sizes on a leaf. An ant is also pictured.
I need pest help 🙏 Does anyone have an effective way to get rid of all stages of scale insects? I saw a recommendation for tobacco "tea", anyone has experience with that? The bastards are almost invisible on the plants, and are killing my poinsettia 😭

A gray shorthair tabby cat stands on a rock that is used as part of a natural stairway. He faces right, tail held high. Around the rock is grass that's partially covered with fallen leaves.
When Narvik goes outdoors, he often walks around the perimeter of the house to see if there have been any intruders. Here he poses on a stone step beside the house.

A gray shorthair tabby cat sits on a decorative mat that's on an old wooden table. The camera angle accentuates his head and whiskers. His pupils are larger than usual because the room was rather dark.
It's #Caturday, and Narvik wants me to post his picture before I do anything else. He is not supposed to be on any of the tables in the house, but I had to take a quick picture before escorting him to the floor.

A Douglas-fir stump in Idaho. The tree had been injured in such a way that it leaned downhill. In order to grow upright, most of the outward growth was on the downhill side, leaving the pith far from the center of the tree.
Since #round is a theme, here is a lesson that things that appear round from the outside might not be round on the inside. This tree, growing on a steep hill, was damaged at an early age and spent its life compensating for the injury.

A photo of a grey British short hair cat curled up in a ball on a blanket. His tail and one of the front legs can be discerned, but otherwise it's just a homogenous fluffy ball. Nothing of his face or ears is visible.
Just a big, soft, fluffy ball ☺️ Took me a moment to realize where his head is 😸

New Escape from the Retirement Home AGS update:
Every object and hotspot now has a script name and I could easily apply the mouse cursor change mode everywhere. 🔍
My next steps: Typo fixing of my German text from 2014. After that, the English translation can begin.

A gray shorthair tabby cat is lying on the floor of a porch that's covered with all-weather carpet. His head is up, facing right. His tail is curved above him. His scratching post is in the upper left corner of the picture. Diagonal shadows streak across the image.
Here is another view of Narvik enjoying a sunny afternoon on the porch.

A small white SUV with a bicycle on back is parked on a narrow road that leads through a grove of coast redwoods (Sequoia simpervirens). Only the lower portions of the trees are shown in the image, as the larger trees are 200 to 300 feet tall. Ferns frame the bottom of the picture.
On #ForestFriday, it's hard to go wrong with California redwoods. I included my car in this image for scale. The size of these trees is hard to comprehend, even for a guy who has spent most of his life wandering the woods.

Just figured out how to change the mouse cursor when hovering over characters in AGS!
The funny lips icon from my original Flucht aus dem Altersheim (2014) is back 💋

Alphaville (1965) is a visually stark and confusing science fiction movie that intends to alienate you whilst providing director Jean-Luc Godard a vehicle to mourn the loss of his relationship with the stunning Anna Karina (who stars in the film).
Podcast episode out on Sunday.

Let people know that you support them.
Even if it felt obvious.
Tell them you’re rooting for them.
It’s always good to hear.

A gray shorthair tabby cat takes a stretch on the back porch. The surface is all weather carpet, blue/gray in color. Behind the cat is his scratching post and a water dish. The sun is shining brightly, casting shadows on the porch.
Narvik takes a big stretch in the sunshine.

A screenshot from Final Fantasy 3. It shows the after-battle screen with all party members in their job attire. Arc, the second character from the left, is the geomancer, whose weapons are bells (not seen in this picture). The party is standing in a meadow with some hills and trees in the background. At the top is a text window saying: "Obtained 920 gil!".
I'm really enjoying the Final Fantasy 3 3D remake. Especially fun are the sounds made by attacks with unusual weapons. The geomancer's bell weapon hits ("bong!") always make me giggle. It's the little things that add to the enjoyment ☺️

A gray shorthair tabby cat, looking contented, relaxes on my lap with his head pressed against my arm.
It's hard to use the keyboard when there's a cat on my arm. But somehow I manage to get by!

Breaking hiatus to let everyone know - through no fault of their own, my spouse lost their part-time job today.
Currently, neither of us have a stable income.
If anyone has any knowledge of a Product Manager role specifically, network and infrastructure, please let me know.
Thank you.

Manhunter (1988) is the only official AGI game by Sierra I've never played before.
Any thoughts?

Deep into the detector 👷
Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features the @atlasexperiment.bsky.social detector during the year-end technical stop (YETS) – a brief winter switch-off that allows for essential maintenance and upgrades on equipment and detectors, preparing them for the following physics run.
