I went to bed just after nine; and
woke before eight. Let the mippies out, had coffee and breakfast and then tried
to type … only to find the b and the comma not working. So I cleaned the keyboard
and it seemed fine … only now they won’t work again.
Hmmm the b is now working but I
still don’t have a comma. Ah well, I’ll cope, I’m sure. For now I copy &
paste the comma from earlier texts.
It’s 30°C again today, but at least
there is a cool breeze – which won’t be the case in Pretoria. I’m lethargic and
apathetic again today and I’m also sick and tired of feeling this way. It can’t
go on throughout the summer – and normally doesn’t.
I’ve cleaned the kitchen, the litter
_ox … grrr and now the ‘_‘ is playing up again! This is insuffera_le! Anyway,
the laundry is folded and packed away as well so today’s tasks are done.
It’s just past the halfway mark to
M-day (moving day) and more than half the work is done. The worst of what’s
left is the kitchen – wrapping everything carefully in newspaper, glasses,
plates and such.
I’ve come to realise that starting a
new weaving project required either skill or patience and since I don’t have
the skill, yet, I’ll need patience. I had thrown away the round one I started
yesterday in a fit of impatience, but I took it out and that’s what I’m working
on now.
AND: I’ve just had my first order
for a basket! Rose asked me to make her one to keep the eggs on the counter! I
had started another square one, but it’s proving to be somewhat difficult, so I’ve
put it aside for now.
I was thinking of waiting till Romeo
wanders off, give my mippies some more time outside, but then remembered how
much difficulty I had getting them in last time … unfortunately I was too late!
It’s nearly eight now and Lady Jane is still outside – Ziva and Mewly are
curled up on the sleeper couch having enjoyed their treat. Lady Jane would NOT
listen and just ignored my calls.
I also forgot that the lounge light bulb
blew just as I was about to switch them off last night … so I’ve had to put a
new one in. It’s lovely and bright – should’ve done it long ago!
Well her Ladyship has deigned to
come inside. I opened the door and she was sitting on the stairs waiting to be
let in! Now she’s slinking around the flat quietly – no mipping – she knows she
did wrong!
I’ve just finished my third basket!
The round one! Still the same problem, though: it gets narrower at the top. I’ll
need to come up with some means of keeping it as wide as the bottom in future.
