Every evening, my husband Michael and I’ve been watching something on TV together. Lately, we’ve been watching “Better Call Saul,” “Top Chef,” and “Landscape Artist of the Year,” but all those got put on hold when Michael discovered “Cat Hospital” on Acorn TV, which is available to us this week only.
“Cat Hospital,” according to the website, shows “the cute, cuddly, and dramatic daily life at an Irish veterinary practice catering exclusively to cats.” I don’t know about you, but with all the dramatic daily life we’ve been experiencing, I need cute and cuddly wherever I can find it.
Before Michael and I watched “Cat Hospital” last night, my son Aaron and I met up with our old friend Tom Joyce, British comedian and mathematician extraordinaire who has appeared in this blog many times (including here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and especially here) and who is visiting Boston for the first time.
My son and I’ve been watching and running into the incredibly funny, smart, and kind Tom in Edinburgh many times over the last nine years. I’ve been watching in amazement as the coincidences with Tom have piled up — besides an appreciation for Aaron, Tom and I share many things: we both have congenital heart conditions, have pacemakers, had surgeries when we were young, and are now on Coumadin. I look forward to many years ahead where I’ll be watching Tom, Aaron, and I sharing more great times together.
All the other images in today’s blog, of course, also reflect what I’ve been watching:
I’ve been watching the Daily Bitch for many years and today I’ll be watching some people erasing the stigma associated with mental illness in my remote therapy groups.
Here’s a YouTube video of what I’ve been watching:
What have you been watching?
Thanks for watching many things with me today!
Cat Hospital looks like a fun thing to watch, and I hope Mr. Joyce enjoys watching life in Boston while he’s there. As for me I like a cafe that has a time limit on its tables. I love to sit and watch people go by but I wouldn’t want to be inconsiderate and occupy a table when there are others waiting.
You’re a fun thing to watch, Chris, and thanks for watching.
cat hospital looks wonderful and I’ve been watching ‘old enough’ on Netflix, a japanese series that shows young children’s competency as they do errands as a part of the family, fascinating. people often don’t give young children enough credit for what they are capable of
Michael told me about that show and thanks for another wonderful comment, beth.
You and Michael operated your own cat hospital during the pandemic, for Oscar and Joan. 💜
I always watch for your lovely perspective, Maureen.
Glad to see you met up with your friend Tom in Boston, Ann.
Always glad to see you, Mark!
