Partial Lunar Eclipse

As I wanted to leave for work this morning, Silver came running and meowing. Okay, so I fill the bowl before I leave – apparently that’s not what she wanted, because she keeps meowing and follows me all the way down the stairs. I suspect she’s trying to tell me that Whiskas tasted better, but I can’t figure it out. Fortunately she stayed behind once I purposefully strode to the garage – I wouldn’t know what to do if she followed me all the way to the car?!? I am curious to find out, whether she’ll be less skittish now, when we meet in the garden. She never let me anywhere near her – would always run away fast, if I made even a move towards her.

At work I’m overloaded – which I love! It’s always better to have too much on your desk, than to twiddle your thumbs any time of the day. Oh, and I think my phone must have fallen out of my pocket at some point – either in the car or at home, when I fed Silver. I remember putting it in my pocket, but when I got to work, I couldn’t find it. Emptied both pockets – nothing.

It’s lunchtime now, and I still haven’t even caught up with the load in my In-tray – let alone the e-mails! The new task – the one with the deadline – has not yet been touched, yet, either. I may have to stay a bit later today. But at least Wednesday is a Public Holiday, so it’ll be a short week. I’m strict about lunchtime, though – something I learned from the guys. Anyone wanting work during my lunchtime is sent away to come back afterwards; some take offence at that, but that is their problem.

Well, found my cell-phone – in the car. When I got home, Silver was waiting for me!?! At the bottom of the path, just behind the garage. Extremely skittish again, but I could pet her – once – on the way to the stairs. My neighbour was waiting for me, to fit the finger-less gloves she’s knitted for me.

I don’t know what Silver wants – she only nibbled at the food, but ran away when I get too close, she runs away again. When I took out the garbage she ran all the way down and along the path ahead of me – until I detoured over the lawn to get past her. When I got back, she jumped over the wall to avoid me! A while later, Ginger showed up!

Continuing the gourmet habit, I made one of my special marinades for the rump steak. That’s tomorrow’s dinner. Tonight I’m having a Dagwood with all the trimmings … well, Cheese. Lots of cheese! Close enough. My dad actually bought me some Blondie Comics way back when, to help me learn English.

On a totally unrelated note, I think it’s time I unfriend Stupid on Facebook. The number of idiotic statements popping up on my news feed is increasing ridiculously!

Oh, and there was a partial lunar eclipse tonight.
