Lock-down Day 450

Late morning, I let mippies out, they dashed happily outside ... then came running back inside a few minutes later! They're working with heavy equipment outside ... pulling out more trees, I'm afraid.

Well, what they're pulling out now - and have been the past couple of days - is actually a dead tree in my neighbour's front yard.

Sooo ... no 'quiet time' for me, today! Mippies are right here, demanding my attention!

Poor mippies! Something came over me and I cleaned the bedroom. Swept and washed the floors, moving all the furniture, and I even cleaned the fan! Not properly, but instead of black, there's only brown left to clean off.

Outside is scary! Mippies are hiding under furniture. They're busy with a fairly large caterpillar, clearing right outside my back yard - they've taken down the next door fence, and are moving lumps of rocks around. Janey is now on my lap, I've taken the small drying stand inside - maybe I should take it all inside, there's a lot of dust in the air.

I decided to shut mippies in for the day - Mini, in particular, is very brave when I'm there. She'll walk right under my feet, following me into any danger ... no need to risk that.

See what I mean? It's really right outside!

So, poor mippies are inside, whenever I go to check on my laundry! Janey is staying in the bedroom - the loud noises are just too scary for her!

If you look carefully, you can see that there's only one fence up, the one from the wall around MY garden. No fencing up between that and the neighbour's house ...

Fortunately they only work until about two. So, now I can let mippies out! And they are only too happy to go for a run!

I've made pasta dough - I have an idea I want to try. And I've cleaned the kitchen.

Dang. Everything went awry! The pasta dough is too wet ... it didn't go through the machine smoothly, it stuck and tore. I have no idea what I'm going to do with what I've concocted there ...

Internet has been iffy all day, as well, so ... nothing's gone right today. Such is life!

Solved! I'm going to make Goulash tomorrow, I can cook today's concoction in that, plus use the fresh cream about to turn.

Mippies came in, again, without any trouble, and I'm now running myself a bath.

And that's about it for today ... Internet is still iffy, just tried to publish - no luck. Half an hour later, let me try again ...
