Monday

As I’m getting ready to go to bed, Silver insists she wants to go out. Now. Ok, off you go then. I decide to wait a bit, and while I’m waiting her brother (we think he’s her brother, since he has the same kind of markings just darker brown and not silver) comes inside and starts eating. When he’s full, just like Silver did weeks ago, he decides to check out my flat. Inspection done, he leaves. Still no Silver. So I decide to go to bed.

I woke up at three – call of nature – so, while I’m up anyway, I open the door and call. Silver comes running and meowing inside! Sleep. Attention. Sleep. Attention. Sleep. Somewhere in all these half-awake cycles I must have rolled onto my back, because the next time I wake up courtesy of a cat, a pregnant cat at that, sitting spot on top of my bladder! By now I’ve overslept again, so rush through the morning routine and off to work. Cat is happy on the chair. Not falling for the open-door trick, thank you very much! So I left her inside.

At work I’m still playing catch-up with the backlog. Some writings re Admin are taking shape in my head. I’ll follow the same pattern as I did with the blog: First a basic word document, see how it goes, what shape it takes, then decide on an online format. A website could be structured and indexed – allowing simple two-click to what you need. But blogs are searchable, too. I’d just have to label meticulously. Let’s first get something written, though!

I posted a lot of the June / July blog photos on Facebook – which got a lot of likes and comments in quite a short time. I thought of doing the same for August but decided bugger that. Follow my blog or miss out. He He.

I didn’t make lunch to take to work today, so I went to the canteen here – I eventually settled on a potato salad, which seemed safe. And a chocolate. And a 1l Coke. Now I’m so tired, I could just lie down and sleep! Some of the guys do take a lunch-time nap. I’ve done that myself in the past.  Today, though, I’m beyond power-nap tired. Ah well, back to work.

Back home the gardener spent the day clearing the other side of the path. As always, it doesn’t look like much has been done but I know first-hand just how much work goes into how little show. It was such a nice day, I went into the garden and did some more weeding until it got too cold. Of course before anything, I let Silver out. She was a bit hesitant to leave and stayed around me … until I opened a tin of her preferred brand down for her. Then she ate and went off. Now she’s back and I closed the door on her. I’m not having another waiting-up-late for Miss Queen night.

Better make some lunch for work tomorrow. Don’t want to have to go to the canteen again.
