Day off

Mewthos mewled and mewled and mewled for his breakfast ... I held out until nearly seven, though! Ha Ha! I gave them their breakfast, then made my coffee ...

And I haven't had a minute to myself since! I've spent the past hour cuddling, scratching, holding mippies! I try to escape to my armchair and Ziva pops up! I try to write my blog and Janey pops up! Mini is behind me on the bed, she'll put her paws on my shoulder soon, unless I give her a cuddle. Mewthos has been out this past hour ... but he'll come mewling in, I'll hear him like a siren ... mew, mew, mew, mew on and on and on until he's next to me and I pick him up!

It's quite cold, so cuddling mippies is not as much of a burden as a boon. Keeping my hands from freezing completely!

I think first thing I should do is clean the kitchen. The hot water will keep my hands warm as well.

Quarter to two and I've finished most of today's chores. Kitchen is clean, muffins are baked, stew is on the go, fridge is cleaned, again. Lunch is packed ... but I really must do something with the pears today.

Half three and I'm done. I've cut the pears and picked all seeds - they're in water overnight, then they'll go into the fridge.

I decided to prune the peach tree - it is covered in buds, I better nip that! In the bud, he he he. Only, on the way, I stopped to pick some weeds in the back lawn ... and ended up picking plenty of thorn runners out and off the back lawn! They've been a ... well, not quite thorn in my side, but close. Every time I hang up laundry, I have to carefully stalk around the thorns - looking for patches of grass like a frog hopping lily pads!

And then I did prune part of the peach tree. I went as far as to get the ladder - but I really need to get the big, new ladder. I really need to trim and prune at the top, where I can't reach - even with the step ladder. So, I'll finally have to fully unpack and set it up this weekend.

Lastly, I trimmed the bush in the corner, next to the gate. That corner looks better - from a distance, at least.

My stew, as always, turned out lovely! I've enjoyed another lovely hot bath ... now I'm going to curl up in bed ... Mini is already pawing me for attention ...
