Lock-down Day 305

It rained during the night! Over 10 mm! Lovely! And it was still drizzling when I got up, made coffee, left for work!

It was dry this morning, but in the afternoon it started raining again. At work: actual rain, not drizzling - let's see what it looks like at home!

I'm not sure whether I'll go outside tonight - I've been thinking that I don't really need to weed the succulent bed urgently, as long as I don't let them get too tall. Tonight will depend on the temperature - it's nicely cool, almost cold today! And what I feel like.

I've been putting of a shopping trip to DisChem for weeks now ... I'm really low on some of the meds I use, like anti-inflammatory, re-hydrating electrolytes, anti-cramps ... I haven't procured any since before the lock-down. Which should give you an idea just how much 'safety stock' I normally keep! Especially with some of the meds, where our government has now restricted the quantity per person per day! To prevent me from accidentally killing myself with an overdose ... Okay, so that's been law for a couple of years already, but it's still annoying!

Well, I'd need to write a list. At home, where I can check on stock levels. I've been meaning to do that for weeks, too! But there is just so much to do at home ...

I've filled a shopping cart online, mippies treats are low, I could really use another pair of shorts! I'm taking a chance buying those online - I'm not worried about how they'll look, just whether they'll fit. And then I decided to treat myself to some arts & craft! Something completely different, just for fun! Modelling clay! I'm no good at modelling anything ... so this should be fun!

By the way, my mini pizza's are delicious! Except the one, where the cheese slid off and melted on the tray, rather than on the roll, they turned out really cool!

I've been thinking what I should do with my bottomless pots. The ground here isn't as rock hard, so I don't really need them for veggies ... but I could use them out back, where I think the septic tank is. I can use them for herbs, too.

On the way home, it rained, then drizzled, then rained ... at home it had petered out to a drizzle again. We had a total 28 mm rainfall! That's including the less than 2 mm yesterday afternoon. Nice!

First thing I heard was Smeagol calling for his dinner. I missed him yesterday! Poor boy! He was quite hungry and ate a lot. When he had eaten, he called again - as always. He wants attention, I know, but ... Guess what? Today I had a full lovie session with Smeagol! HE started by head-butting my hand! He let me stroke his head over and over for at least five full minutes! Shame, the poor boy is full of lumps, bumps and ticks! I was only able to get one tick off him ... he pushed my hand away after a while. I went inside, did some chores, came back outside and he called me again! More lovies! He purred happily! It was really lovely! We're making progress!

I wrote my shopping list, did a few chores and then mippies wanted to come inside! Honestly! Instead of struggling to get them in to come home, having to wait for them to show up ... here, THEY were already assembled on the veranda for our quality time, and soon they started strolling inside! I gave them their treats, and another one ... Mewthos begged and the bowls were fairly clean. My little darlings!

I ran myself a bath, then played a bit ... I guess I should check out my shopping cart now, before I go to bed ...
