Phew! What a day!
I got up, made myself coffee, had a few sips and drove off to pick up At. It's a bit over an hour's round trip.
Majority of mippies were not happy about this intrusion into their home, ha ha! Mewthos spent most of the day cowering between the bed and the window - big wuss! Janey hid under the bed. Mini came out to look every now and again, but wouldn't come near At. Ziva, however, shamelessly used the additional pair of hands at her disposal to scratch her back! She came to welcome At, mipping at him, demanding he scratch her ears and back - and he quite happily obliged!
I mowed the back lawn - yikes, letting it grow so tall was not a smart move! I better get into the habit of mowing that every week! And changed the bed sheets - finally fitting my new mattress protector!
At fixed the sliding door lock, so now I can lock that again!
He also spotted a fish eagle! I would never have spotted that! Who would have thought I would be fortunate enough to have fish eagle to observe in my home? Just awesome! He also identified the little tree under the Jacaranda for me: a peach tree! And it is laden with fruit already! I'm going to have my hands full when the grapes and peaches are ripe!
After I dropped At back at home, Mewthos finally came out - and promptly went on a sulk! He went and curled up outside and just sulked, ha ha! His problem, not mine. He could have got lots of extra back scratches - just like Ziva did!
For myself, I was flat out exhausted. I showered, ate and flopped onto the bed and didn't get up again ... well, treated mippies - Janey needed a special invitation, as she, too, was sulking ... but they all came in, gobbled their munchies and let me sleep.
