Cold Monday

Temperatures have dropped again - I'm afraid we're in for a very cold winter, this year. If I compare temperatures this time of year against last year ... not encouraging.

And I won't be able to take a hot bath tonight - load shedding from 18:00 - 20:00. I only get home at 17:30, and half an hour is not enough time to heat water. No biggie ... I hope.

Oh, and just for fun: Mini surprised me with a present! She's brought in a locust and hid it under the duvet in my bed! Where I found it - the most unpleasant way - when it tried to crawl on my leg as I was trying to snuggle down for the night! It was one of those hard-body razor legged locusts! Not at all pleasant!

I should also mention that, instead of spending a bit of quality time with my mippies on the veranda, last night - I was searching, ever more frantically, for Lady Jane! Made more frantic by the fact that my last words to her had been "Go away and don't come back!" Imagine if that had really been my last words to her ... She was persistently demanding attention when I was busy packing my lunch, hence my words. She did show up - after letting me worry for a good time!

Back at home, I rushed through everything that's easier to do with power, and got done in time. Mippies came in before the power went off.

I added mayonnaise and some spices to the chicken potato mix, turning it into quite tasty cold salad.

I spent the two hours without power watching Welt Nachrichten - it's a German news channel, that's free to watch on YouTube. Live. They report predominantly on the war in Ukraine.

Power is back on, I'm tired ... just had an intense cuddle session with Mewthos - Ziva and Mini are waiting for their turn!
