Lock-down Day 295

Yup! Just after eleven, the power went out again! Load shedding! Lovely, eh?

I couldn't sleep, I was up most of the night. I spent most of the day putting together MY load shedding schedule. Not just for the currently planned few days - but the whole thing. I have not been able to find one, so I had to make my own. I've finished cleaning up to Stage 5 ... Day 1-31 (same for all months), with the times in chronological order listed per day, per stage.

Tonight, we're going out at eleven again, then tomorrow From seven to half past nine. I've boiled the kettle and filled the thermos, so, even if I get up late, I can have hot coffee!

I spent the afternoon clearing the driveway. It looks really neat now, I cleaned both sets of bricks - completely - this time! After that, I just pottered around outside my bedroom. I didn't want to come in too late ...

I've showered, cleaned the litter boxes and for dinner I decided to try one of the frozen meals I got last week: Cottage Pie. Pre-heating the oven now - if I like it, I might get some more.

Smeagol seems to be wanting more than just food from me, now. He still won't let me touch him, though ... but he hangs around, mewls when he sees me, performs for me. Tonight he went onto the dog hut roof. I got the feeling that - having seen the attention MY mippies get, when they're on the roof - he decided to try that. Yet, I don't know what attention he wants. Maybe some toys?

Am I crazy? Considering toys for a cat who won't even let me touch him? Ha Ha!

Depending on what time I get up, I've decided to mow the lawn while the power is out. It needs mowing again, or I'll loose what ground I've gained and sit with a problem again. Not quite there, not even near - but better safe that sorry again, eh?

Well, pie is in the oven, I'm watching Columbo ... after dinner, I'll try for an early night. Hopefully the power outage won't wake me during the night.
