Lazy Sunday

Thank you, cat for the five am wake up call! Seriously? Ah well, opened the door and let her out then I went back to bed for another hour. Shopping done nice and early – and then I’m faced with a bit of a quandary: It’s such a lovely sunny day – I’d rather spend it in the garden, than indoors doing chores!

Well, I went out and did some more weeding. Not too much, mind, just a bit for the pleasure of it! Then I took a break. My neighbour came outside looking for me, so we spent the afternoon outside together. I just pulled the odd clover plant and she crocheted white borders around pink squares – which will later be sewn into a blanket. Then the wool was finished and we just chatted – though I kept picking at weeds. Right until about three, when the sun hid behind some clouds and it got too cold to sit outside.

Her tom definitely won’t tolerate Silver! He chased her off twice while we were outside! Funnily enough, he chased her from my garden into my neighbours, i.e. his own garden, the second time!

Bad news, though – now I have to do the chores!

Well, well, well. This is a first: I put out meat for Silver – and she’s full! Ate some, but left most of it behind. Unless she doesn’t like Ostrich meat, but with her past record of eating anything, I very much doubt that! And yet, as I’m eating my salad, she comes to sit next to me watching every bite disappear! After a few meows – which I ignored – she gave up, and turned her back on me in disgust.

Well I never: after a stroll outside, she came back in, sniffed the meat then turned towards the dry pellets instead! Bird-catching Silver doesn’t like Ostrich! Good thing I only had the small packet to try it out – I put the bowl outside, there’s still strays and neighbouring cats feeding there.

Finally the kitchen is spick and span! Lunch is ready for tomorrow – only I don’t feel like dinner. The salad will have to do.

I heard a noise outside –the black and white cat is quite happy with ostrich! And I’m warm and snug after my bath and ready for bed.
