Cousin Krishna who lives far far away in India keeps up our spirits on a daily basis with jokes and quotes and interesting facts.

Today he reminded us that this is a perfect square day.

We’d never have thought of that by ourselves. Would you? We know one other person who might have Uncle Michael who is a mathematician.

Now that Krishna’s brought it to our attention we have had to dig deeper.

We had to recognize that 25 is a special year the last year of a square would have been 16 and the next will be 36. So that kinda clears the field for finding other perfect squares.

Now here is the question that is going to be racking our brains until we have a greater use for them is were there any other perfect square days this year?

April 9th would be the US equivalent we suppose since here they do month before day.

We thought we’d get you all working on this as Einstein no doubt also called on the universe to assist him in solving sic dilemmas.

We hope you will be happy hunting.

Post your dates in the comments so others can benefit and consider using them in the Powerball on Saturday that’s now set to exceed $1.5 BILLION jackpot!!!!

Precious Peeps it me the most beautiful Pitty in this Palace to give you a hefty heaveho over the humpty.

We’ve had some strange goings on these past days.

We were without power and internet from 6:00 pm Monday till 11;00 am Tuesday.

Funny things started happening.

Alarms went off which was a little disruptive to sound sleep.

There was no news on TV or Facebook all screens were all blank! All I could do was stare out the window.

Worse still the ice in the ice maker part of the fridge started dripping and Granny had to brew coffee the old fashioned way.

We went for our walk and encountered the poor guys who had been working all night to fix the problem.

Granny asked if they knew what was the issue.

One guy explained that they had just discovered that one of the electric boxes in the area must have been struck by lightening during a storm some time ago and that this had impacted the insulation. Eventually after a very slow burn this went on fire last night.

We don’t really understand this but are reporting as heard.

It took a while to discover this because they had to go box by box all around the neighborhood to find the problem point in the network.

We just happened on them at the time they found it. This was around 8:30am but it took some time to get it all corrected.

I must say I didn’t care for all that silence.

What followed was a frenetic period of cooking. The veggies in the fridge along with some ground beef were transformed into a massive chili and Grandpa made yogurt with the milk.

It sure wets your appetite these adventures and their consequences.

Be like me enjoy all the light in your darkness no matter how long it takes to get lit.

I’ll talk to all you lovelies on Friday in the meantime be beautiful.

Well we had a busy Labor Day. We did all the things we felt we had to do and more.

Our plans for a relaxing evening watching our favorite shows on TV were cut short at 5:45 by a power cut.

Now this, as our neighbor said, could have been a lot worse. It was not roasting hot so we could get by without the AC.

We also got lucky that we’d just cooked the dinner before we lost the juice.

It’s amazing how quiet everything goes when you have no TV and no AC. You can hear all the air traffic though.

From what we could see on the outage map it looked to be localized to our area so maybe something hit a pole or someone dug through a line.

There were no storms around so it had to be something like that. the power company crews were out in force going from one house to another so maybe it was some technical trouble.

No doubt we’ll get the details today but we’re still not restored. Sending this out on the little bit if power we got from Aaron’s truck this morning.

Estimated restoration time now 9:00am so I guess we’ll be cooking a lot today lest we loose the contents of the fridge and freezer.

Well the good news is Ma got her sale tax done. She filed and paid them yesterday thanks to the Ohio automated system.

The computer must have felt sorry for her because it didn’t charge her a late fee only a manageable $3.75 interest on the delayed payment.

She is now in a serene state and not at odds with the world anymore.

We are trying to decide if we’re going to do any work today or have a holiday.

The work to be done is same old same old change of beds, laundry, dusting, swiftering etc

I’m leaning towards vegetating.

Many people will go to the pools and beaches for the last hooray of summer but personally I prefer the shores of slumbers.

I really do love bed but I suppose that is only because I’m forced to get out of it.

Like all things it would become boring if you were stuck in it 24/7.

Regardless of where you are or what you’re doing just switch your mind to “take it easy” and hum like an Eagle all day!!!

Ma was a bit tense last evening when she returned from the tearoom. She’d got a letter from Ohio State.

Not the football team but the tax office.

In the pandemonium of cleaning and clearing and measuring and moving she’d forgotten to file the half year sales tax return for her empire.

Now let me tell you dear friends this revenue would not be sufficient to buy hotdogs to feed even half the Buckeye Team.

Still it set her back to think she has made even less than she thought she had.

Honestly I ask myself why she bothers.

Just as well it’s Sunday we can snuggle and sleep.

Must up and trot now!

Here in the USA it is the Labor Day weekend. That means people have Monday off.

Here in Ohio it’s even more of a happy time because THE BUCKS aka The Ohio State University football team start their season. They play Texas at midday.

There is fever pitch excitement all around.

Can’t say I’m particularly fussed.

I’m more of a tennis fan myself which reminds me there is also the US Open going on.

I think maybe I should get up now or I might miss something else like a Grand Prix or Manchester United playing Liverpool.

Whatever you’re doing enjoy and be sure to wear your red and grey like me!

Precious peeps it’s the PERFECT one here to project you into a wonderful weekend.

I am hopeful it will be calmer than the last.

A few outings would be OK but I’m not keen on being caged in ARETHA with that Grey Gizzard smell for too long.

A little trip or two to the trails would be just fine.

It’s great walking weather so I think if we get viewings we should pack up Grandpa and park him with his book by the lake or the river while we take the air.

Who knows I might meet some handsome hound who’d like to hitch up with me.

I’d prefer a big guy like an Alsacien or Saint Bernard as they’d be useful to do in the Gizz.

As my Granny often says “a girl can but dream”

Remember that my lovelies and be like me always upbeat and smiling and get out there and strut your stuff!!!

Yesterday was “normal”.

When you’ve been used to crazy for a while “normal” feels so nice.

Ma went to the tearoom and Dad and I rested while Jaws was sleeping in her chamber.

I didn’t even mind that we had to watch Judge Judy. It felt so good to hear that familiar voice.

Ma reported back that they have started laying the floors in the new ranch and it looks like there are bits of cabinets in the garage ready to be assembled.

Still no takers on this place.

Keep us in your prayers please that soon the right people who need our space show up and snap us up quickly.

Precious Peeps it’s your one and only PERFECT PRINCESS here to heave you over the humpty.

I wish it to be known that my reputation is being jeopardized by a certain stinking piece of grey gunk!

He is like one of those big bits of dust that accumulate under large pieces of furniture only this fur ball breathes. Usually down my neck!!!

This world would benefit greatly from his extermination.

Did you hear what he said about my bit of fun with his stupid toy.

What middle aged mutt do you know who actually plays with toys.

He is feeble minded and stupid as a goose.

There I feel better.

Hope you like me can vent to your little heart is content with your legion of faithful followers.

Be like me outspoken and outstanding!!!
