Ordinary Wednesday

I slept late, woke up with no energy. Spent quite some time with Ziva before I went to the Health Shop. Then let the Mip Mips out, who aren’t going far, still.

Later our electrician and pneumatics guy came for a quick visit. They saw the Mip Mips, Ziva and the bird – they were surprised how big they were at only three months. Rose shared how her tom was also much smaller at the same age, but he had a challenging kitten hood, with only food from his mommy until she disappeared.

The guys brought the furniture from the site, that isn’t needed there anymore. I was allowed to select some for myself, so I opted for a trestle table, garden chairs and two small desks. They placed the trestle table ON TOP of the rolled up hose pipe – why? Who knows? And the desk they put smack in the middle of the lounge. The other desk went to Rose.

They blerry strapped down the drawers with tape! Take off the tape, take off the desk finish. Sigh!

I ventured into the garden while the felines were holding their daily Siesta – and collected another bumper crop of cherry tomatoes! Then we played “What mommy doing?” for an hour or so. Well, I was trying to garden, and the felines … well, just watched my every move.

Rose showed me a video of Lizzy! She’s doing very, very well and even making friends with the dog! She tapped him on the nose – no claws, no hissing, no bushy tail, and no spitfire! She’s a very lucky girl to have found such a wonderful home! And I’m very happy she’s settled in so quickly. Sure, there are some ‘teething’ troubles, like when she climbed on top of the wardrobe and was scared to jump down. But overall, she’s a very happy and lucky kitty!

And for as long as they’re stuck with me, so are her brothers and sister! With the two new chairs that came today, they are now snoozing each on their own chair – and mommy on the chest behind me. I’m eating biltong again, and Ziva is NOT being a total nuisance!

When I was scooping the litter box earlier today, Mewthos came in to use it. Seeing that I was busy with it, he politely sat outside. Yeah, not the best solution! I picked him up mid-stream and plonked him inside. The look I got from him? Priceless!

Well, after the late night yesterday, I better try an early one tonight.
