Still no
kittens and still no full night’s sleep. The weather looks promising though,
with patches of sunshine despite the clouds. First do my chores, laundry,
dishes, etc. and then out into the garden.
Silver went
out earlier and stayed away for hours. My neighbour joined me in the garden
with her knitting. I worked my way alongside the path weeding and particularly
claiming back the path from the weeds. At least the one half of it I can reach
sitting on the grass. With all the rain yesterday, the grass is still wet so I
placed a bag on the grass and sat on top of it. I finally got all the way to
the garage, but only because I restricted myself to a quite narrow stretch.
All in all a
lovely and productive day. Just one dark spot. When my neighbour joined me, so
did her tomcat. And when Silver finally showed up he went after her, got hold
of her and the two tumbled along the path until Silver got away and they both
ran at speed out the garden. So, now I know who’s opening her neck piece by
piece! But what can we do anyway, they’re cats. The neighbour’s tom was here
first, and he’s never taken to Silver. I also suspect that Silver going after
the neighbour’s old female cat spurred his protective instinct. Well, Silver
stayed away until some time after my neighbour – and her tom – had gone.
I also went
inside soon afterwards. Hot meal, hot bath, hot blog? Nah, just the photos I’ve
been taking all week!
