A stunning, late fall day with temps in the high 70s couldn’t have been more perfect for taking a nice long walk downtown with similar-minded folks.
Blue skies, sunshine, and community followed by a lovely lunch with friends, although that turned out to be more leisurely than expected. The newish, family-run Iraqi place makes a killer falafel, but boy does it take them forever to get an order ready 
We shared a quick pint at a pub that was having a benefit for a local non-profit helping people with health care costs, then went home to check on the kittehs.
We were able to treat one of them with an eye ointment & trimmed both their razor-sharp claws without our hands & arms being shredded to pieces, and introduced them to more rooms in our house. I’d say that’s not too shabby for their first full day at casa lingua 
Dinner was leftover hand-cut noodz with fatty beef from Wednesday & red wine braised short rib from Thursday that I mixed up with stir-fried veg (onion, celery, a 5th of green & sweet pepper) from the crisper that needed to go, plus the last of a bag of frozen green peas.
The noodles were expectedly on the mushier side, and everything was very brown.
We are sated, and low-key effort means MOAR time spent with the boys
