Very slow Sunday

I only got up after eight! No, I don't know why - I slept well, though I did get up a few times late evening, but not really during the night. And mippies allowed me to sleep late, too!

I let mippies out - Smeagol was around and went after Ziva. Mippies are back inside ... under my feet. Mini seems to be back to normal, not limping anymore and she's up and about as usual. Phew!

I've dawdled a bit this morning, it's already ten, and I've only just started the bread. Not a problem, though. It'll be done by one this afternoon. Next I had better start the stew.

Well, I didn't. Instead, I washed some dishes. Deep cleaned the lid of my slow cooker and thoroughly cleaned the cups which had been gathering dust on my desk since I moved here. Less cleaning to do this afternoon.

My head is spinning with ideas of things I now want to make and build at my desk! Some wild, some simple ... 

Stew is on the go. I used the last carrots and picked my cherry tomato bushes clean - carefully quartered them, to make absolutely sure there is no life in any part of them, ha ha! I also used the last potatoes, none of them had any rot inside.

Mini seems to be very well again - she's running around the house with a mouse in her mouth! Dead mouse. I'll have to check my bed before I get in tonight - she likes to hide her prey under my duvet!

Bread is done, cooling down. Outside a few drops are now coming down. It's been overcast all day ...

Half past two, power off! Sigh ... reported, it's been escalated, now we wait.

Janey is in high cuddle mode, no matter where I go or what I try to do, she's right there, mipping for space on my lap. As usual, she doesn't sit still but strolls up and down, head butting my hand or licking them, letting me know that my hands should on her.

Ah! She settled down! Now I can't move, ha ha!

Forty minutes later, power is back. Nice! Stew back on - hopefully I'll be able to enjoy a plateful soon!

Another forty minutes later the power is off again. This time I can't report it, as the previous reference is still active. Luckily I have an active ward Councilor! I'm part of his WhatsApp electricity group. He immediately escalated, again. That's why I always take the trouble to message when power comes back on. 

An hour later, power is back on. Again. Mewthos reckons it's now time for treats! Yeah ... not quite, sweetie!

Not a long wait, though. I had put the geyser on, so at quarter to six, I bring mippies in and treat them. Then I bath, I've already packed my lunch ... now I'll settle on the bed, cuddle mippies before I go to sleep ...
