so, it turns out that Walnut does know how to give high-fives and she's quite fun that way. but she only gives them when this neighbour asks for them, and never when i ask her for them. i first thought it was because i was asking her in English (and not Tamil) but it turns out that she just don't like me
also, update: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU READ THE ALT TEXT!!
I'll miss this baby a lot. i hope i get to spend some time with her before i leave.

When you drill into end grain with a sharp Forstner bit, you get some really interesting shavings.

Dieser alte Garten war vor ein paar Jahren in meiner Nachbarschaft.
today's cats.
Zorro (the tux) and Batman (the calico) were almost spooning and Walnut, the tortie, was behaving as starved as she could. i gave all three of them treats.
she's always around scouting for food. i don't have good enough videos but she's also a bully. anyway, here's Walnut looking slick. you can also see that her forepaws are dark and have black/brown toebeans while her rear paws are paler buff coloured and they have pink beans.

"A walnut #tree produces #flowers of one sex, then the other in the same season, but trees differ in which one comes first. Individual trees are consistently male-first or female-first in flowering."

We had many walnut tree branches fall over the last year, and these are hardwood and seem to work great for the fireplace
