Since our power went out again from midnight till after two, I used my flat phone to listen to an audiobook. I have only 1 loaded on it, so ... power outage during the night = THAT audiobook, ha ha! Of course it's a Terry Pratchett book, what else? Oh, on the PC, when we have power through the night, I'm currently listening to Sherlock Holmes.
Mewthos is restless again, he keeps meandering around like a lost boy, wanting something, but whatever I offer "No, that's not it!". Cuddles, cuddle-cave, hugs, brushies .. nope ... twirly? Nope ... Can mommy sleep, please? Nope! Ha Ha ...
Well, it's Friday. He'll have a couple of hours outside this afternoon ...
I quickly went to Spar this morning, just got some milk and cream. I have an idea of making a meat-pasta dish, and a cream sauce would just be awesome! Hold thumbs that it doesn't flop completely! I also got some sugar ... I've been using brown sugar in my baking, but since I'm baking such a lot now, it's worth buying the cheaper, white sugar for that.
At work, I'm now trying to put together a production plan ... sigh ...
Well, that's going to have to be manual, not automated, yet. There are just too many factors involved and, until I have done at least one full Method Study, I won't know how many factors will still come to light.
Back at home ... no internet! Ah, well ... don't need it outside.
I decided to go outside my garden and clean out as much of those creepers as I can - they keep growing and creeping across my car port AND the bed next to that. As I go outside the gate, first thing I see is the large bush of flowers ... totally dried up! It's as tall as the wall, and looks really ... urgh. So, first I take that down.
Done. Next, as I walk outside my garden to reach the outside of the car port ... I get side tracked with all the creeper and weeds rooted outside, but creeping into my garden ... I cleared out a big section, but I really need to get to the car port ... I could be busy here all weekend!
Done. Well, not completely cleared, but it looks much, much better! And, because they used such heavy equipment there, the soil is quite loose and I was able to pull quite a few bulbs out, as well. Creeper bulbs, that is. By now, though, I'm absolutely covered in black jacks! Prickling and poking through my clothes, really irritating me.
Back inside, no internet. It's showing two bars (which is very low), but nothing works. It's been like that all week! Even when WE have power, if one of the signal-booster towers between here and the city is without power ... well, no internet. Or such a weak signal, that I can't even open this blog! I haven't been able to log into my game all week - at work, I've been too busy, and at home ... well ...
Oh, wait, WhatsApp seems to work? I see a message in our neighbourhood group, that load shedding is suspended, though we'll still have Stage 1 from 17:00 - 20:00 ... that's good news! It means we shouldn't have ANY outage all weekend! And I should have some internet ... maybe tomorrow (well, this is what I was thinking last night. Obviously, I now have internet).
So, since I can't google for a recipe, I better use my trusted, old-fashioned way: cook books! I'm looking for the best way to prepare tenderised steak ... it was part of one of the hampers I chose. I usually bake it in foil, wrapped in pie dough, topped with all sorts ... but I'd like to see some different ideas ...
Uuuuh ... cook books! Filled with mouth-watering recipe's! Hmmm ... which shall I try first?
Anyway ... lovely hot bath, followed by apple pie and ... mippie cuddles!
