Back to normal! I had a good night, slept well, woke up without any Mew-larms - though Mini did try to get at the beepy thing (my phone, when the alarm went off)! She always does - she just paws at whatever is covering it; which would be me! I've learned the hard way that, if I don't snatch it under the covers when the alarm goes off, Mini will toss it off the bed ... then I have to go find all the parts, put it back together and set the date & time again! Now you know WHY I have such a simple phone! Those fancy smartphones wouldn't survive my cat-astrophies!
Some trouble on the road to work. Taxi Association is whining for even MORE money! So they terrorise the general population. I had a set-to with a taxi driver myself, this morning. They were blocking the road at the main junction in Rosslyn, demanding everybody turn around or turn left - they blocked the entire right lane. I ended up at the front line, facing a taxi head-on with the driver swearing at me to get out of his way! When I indicated that there was nowhere I could go, he came at me, now completely blocking me from any kind of turn! Gesturing and swearing at me! Eventually he followed his mates turning to my right, driving up the turning lane and I could get past and to work.
Seriously, what the eff? They are the only industry NOT affected by the lock-down! Why do I say that? Well, when they were told to operate at less than 100%, they whined, and government gave them the go-ahead to do as they pleased. And for keeping their passengers at home, the government gave THEM millions as compensation! Nothing to those passengers, who were forced to stay at home ... And now they want more? Sheez!
I read that they hijacked a bus around the corner from my work - the driver has not yet been heard from! That is seriously messed up!
Anyway, my meat delivery has arrived! Yummy! I'll have to re-think my buying strategy - as I'm no longer going only once in a blue moon, but can order regularly, I should only keep stock in the freezer of bulk deal items. Of course, I will have to stock up for the shut-down ... same goes for produce!
At work, my spreadsheet is finally coming together! About time, too!
Driving home was a pleasure! Not one single taxi on the road! Not one! Nobody overtaking on a solid line, nobody overtaking on the shoulder of the road - safe driving all the way home!
At home, I somehow had the energy to start mowing the lawn! I let it grow a bit too long as well, so it was slow going - have to go over the same spot back and forth a couple of times in the thickest patches. Still, I got fair patch done. Okay, so it's a small patch when you look at the whole lawn - but I'm happy! It's progress. Looks a bit funny with one patch mowed and the rest ankle high, but hey, who cares?
Inside, mippies came quite happily for their treat, and I drank about a liter of fruit juice! I think I should go and get milk tomorrow and maybe more juice on Friday? Why two trips? Well, it's two different shops, neither on the way to the other.
I've fried one of the sausages I got today (Boerewors), I'm not hungry, so I've packed it for tomorrow.
Ziva wanted cuddles while I was having a smoke, so I coaxed her onto the mini toy I got for them - she toppled it twice! It's not very well balanced, when a cat is sitting on the seat, it tends to topple. She got her tail wet in the process, so she's not too keen on another attempt. I've turned the seat, hoping to prevent the toppling ... maybe I can coax another mip onto it.
I've brushed Mini - she goes absolutely bazonkers for brushies! Then Mewthos picked a fight with Ziva - no reason ... he gets moody sometimes. I've enjoyed a lovely refreshing shower, so now I'm about to fall asleep ...
