Tuesday

Interrupted night, late morning. Coffee ... off to work.

Another message that my delivery will now come today. Ookay ... I'll explain to the driver that he CAN deliver after five, in a pinch. I doubt they get paid much, least I can do is make it a easy as possible for them.

I'm also taking the new WiFi battery to work, to see whether someone can perhaps confirm whether it's just not working, or whether I'm doing something wrong. Taking the whole set along - router, smartphone, the lot. I just better not forget any of it at work!

Aaaand ... load shedding is back! Again from five to ten tonight. Which, again, means, we're dark from five to six.

I asked At and he says sometimes you get 'new' batteries that are simply duds. Happened to his daughter once, just replace it. Okay ... 

Back at home, I'm sifting through the litter boxes in the dark for the second night in a row! Pffft! Then I feed Smeagol, who greeted me at the gate. Today he is adamant: he must have attention! I've been neglecting him, I'm afraid ... it gets dark so fast now, by the time I get outside, it's too dark to see! And he's the one paying the price, poor boy! Well, I gave him lots today. Then I pulled all the Nasturtiums out of the tomato bed and plonked them in the ground out back. I know, Nasturtiums don't like to be moved, but it's their own fault! They've no business growing in my tomato bed, ha ha ha!

I tried a bit of weeding, but it was just too dark to see ... so I sat outside for our quality time with mippies. Mewthos was very restless. He couldn't wait for me to finish, so he'd get his treat!

I'm busy packing my lunch, filling water fountains, re-heating my stew for dinner ... then I'll enjoy a lovely hot bath before I settle down for the night ...
