The equipment we have in the communal kitchen areas right now is nice, it really is. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with the quality, but it’s very much just stuff you’d find in your average home kitchen, and not quite as commercial as it should be. Trust me, I work in a real kitchen. […]
Could We Make Things More…Communal?
There’s nothing worse than being alone. Well, maybe…no, actually, all of the things I’m thinking of are offshoots of being by yourself, thus proving that it’s bad for your health. Being sick…alone. Going out to dinner…alone. Going on a long journey…alone. Ugh. No thank you. That’s why I came to live here in the first […]
Automotive Know-How Would be Nice
It can be said that we’re short on mechanics. I suppose that’s not so bad, because we’re also pretty short on cars. The Club only has a limited amount of parking spaces, and all of them are currently occupied by people who are paying for the privilege. There’s a little bit of on-street parking, but […]
Does it All Have to be Cats?
When I signed up for this place, it was just going to be about cats. We were all living here, everyone loved cats, the cats loved us, and that was it. I knew there were going to be amenities added, and that’s fine, even if I probably won’t use any of them. I’m not a […]
Cats, Cats on the Glass!!
It’s nice that we’ve got scratch-proof glass now, because that was really becoming a scourge on the good name and image of the Club. Still, I have a list of things that need doing around this place as long as my elbow…or however that goes. It’s not really good enough that the doors are still […]
Finally, A Dedicated Sports Space
I love that we’ve finally installed the sporting room. I love being a part of the club, but that’s one thing that was really grating on me. The gym is kinda out of the way, so when I’m coming back from work I have to do this massive triangle. Takes up so much of my […]
Cat-Proof Glass on the Market?
And so, the culprit is revealed. It was…MILLIE. Yes, the manx cat from the fourth floor. Such an angel by day, very affectionate and always wanting to be friends with all the other cats. But by night? The Great and Terrible Window Destroyer. It’s not encouraged to let your cats roam the halls at night, […]
The Night of the Great, Unusual and Inconvenient Dark
January 2018 will always be known as the month of The Great Dark. Or The Great Darkness. The Blackout. The Night of Darkness. The Night of More Darkness Than One Would Expect From a Normal Night. Anyway, it as both very dark and very dramatic, because the circuit breaker…broke. Or something. I’m not a technical […]
Willow the Ocean Kitty
Most people at the Club don’t seem to believe me when I say that Willow likes to swim. Sure, a majority of cats hate the water and want nothing to do with it, but have NO stranger things happened in people’s lives? I bet there are dogs that hate swimming. Maybe there are rats that […]
Armchair Psychologists Irritate Me
I qualified as a psychologist, you know. This was years and years ago, back when the profession was quite different. I’d imagine all the psychologists today are taught very differently to how we were, but perhaps that’s just necessary to keep up with the times. So while I don’t know what psychologists nowadays get up […]
