Playing with the Moon.
That is all :)

Possum came out at 2:30 this afternoon ....

... into the full bright day light. She's supposed to be nocturnal.
She did the usual, asked for something to eat, so she got a nectarine and a couple of tiny tomatoes.
But Google told me an adult possum out in the day means "something is wrong with the animal" requiring capture and assessment.
Guess what I did! Go on. Yep, I panicked, I called W.I.R.E.S and babbled about "my possum" and would someone come check her please.
Apparently it's probably the heat and I'm not to worry, since I could see no sign of injury.
But I'm keeping an eye on her.
Don't tell Mr Brown.

In other news, water on the moon, apparently. Googlemoon is the result.

The interwebs ...

... makes impulse buying too damn easy. Earlier this week it was a Munch inflatable Scream Doll and 6 violently expensive (but beautiful) volumes from Persephone Books.
And a couple more books at the Art Gallery while I was waiting for Mr Brown to pick me up.This is from When the Moon Forgot by Jimmy Liao. Lovely thought, no? Cradling a young and frightened moon in your arms?
But I will not succumb this time, will not.

O how I wish we lived ...

... somewhere where my furry girls could roam freely, through fields of grass, bluebells and violets. By a cold dark sea*.
Being urban cats this is not to be, they only have the long thin backyard. My fears are of cars, dogs and people who don't like cats.
Being non-native beasites (like our good selves) I worry for the birds, lizards and sundry other beasts.
Go look at the We Three blog, trawl through the archives and revel in the beauty of pusscats wandering by the sea, climbing stones and sign posts, drinking from dew-filled pools.
The cats' companion, She (aka Jackie Morris) is an amazingly talented artist, go look at her stuff too. There be dragons and snow leopards and polar bears. And she's a fan of the moon. I may have a little blogging-celebrity crush.

* Of course, if I'm honest (and I do try to be), if we did live in such a place I'd be worried sick the furry girls would get eaten by foxes, or badgers, or fall into the sea, or get trampled by ponies.

It just gets better and better ...

... it's a full moon tonight.

Look, up in the sky ...

... it's a smiley face. Yay.

October is over ...

... pink is gone. It's green for spring now. It was Halloween last night.

Pic from Lolcats.
I resisted it for years, ranting about American cultural imperialism, commercialism, and all that. But, at the end of the day, who wants to be the grumpy old lady at the end of the street? Not me.
So, lollies were bought and popped in a pumpkin (soup tureen) and placed in the hall near the door.
Only, I didn't get home until it was too late, Mr Brown either, so our only trick or treater was the wee girlie from next door! And she shared her sweeties with us! Which was rather sweet.

Finally ...

... now it really is Autumn, not just by the calender but by the moon.

Feeling a little better ...

... Tis a full moon and this was on LOLCats ...

Captain Morgan IS the rum of choice in the Brown-Mouse house. Really, whatever else could it be?

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Edited to add ...

... Mr Brown (shamed) fixed the puter so, here's Wednesday night's pizza.And, on Tuesday I watched the blood moon lunar eclipse. With only my happy snappy camera, I'm afraid my efforts at recording the event were pretty pathetic. I mean, once the moon was red there wasn't enough light to take a pic at all. So, go look here for some good stuff, and then laugh at my efforts. Cheers.

This is gold ...

... it just says it all really. Oh, and here, it just gets better. Why am I not surprised?
And Fiddles sent me this, I'm so going to be staring up at the moon on Tuesday night, I may even howl a bit.

Moon stuff ...

... tonight is a new moon, it's 5:55pm and pitch black outside.
It turns out I was born on the night of a new moon.
I don't believe this is significant, just vaguely interesting.
There was a great moon hoax in 1835.
The Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys, is one of my favourite songs EVER.

Blue Moon ...

... I’m a big fan of the moon, it's my favouite thing in the sky. S0 I'm a little (nerdily) excited because tonight there will be a full moon, the second one for June, a blue moon.A picture of the Moon made to look blue, image & image fiddling thanks to Nick Lomb
In honour of this rare event (there isn’t another until 30 March 2010), I’m adding a new linkie to my Interesting & Possibly Useful Stuff thingo, a moon phase calendar.

And, because it's the last day of the month, the June 2007 WordCloud.

Edited to add - There she is in her full moon glory - so bright that I got one of those "bright spots" in my eye after staring up.
