Sunday

I saw a very strange creature in my garden late last night. At first I thought it was a cat, but it was much longer, lower, and had a very long tail. I have no idea what it was - not a Meerkat, it was quite a bit bigger than a Meerkat. Also not a Likkewaan, it had fur - I think. Likkewaan is something like an Iguana, I think. My neighbour reported some running just outside our garden last week ...

I played all sorts of worst case scenario in my head last night - which kept me awake! Silly me! I don't know why I keep doing that to myself!

Well, I got up quite late this morning, as a result. Mippies allowed me to sleep in - no mewling, no pawing, just cuddling! Nice of them, eh?

I did let them out and made myself coffee. It's still quite cold in the mornings ... I got going, and set the bread dough going. Then I started planting seeds. Melons, herbs. In the seedling trays I bought a long time ago ... Now I want to start the stew and clean the kitchen ...

Oh, and I found one of the toads! It was snug in the seedling soil! Fortunately I found it early on - even though it had dug itself in quite deeply. Otherwise I could have injured the poor thing with the hand shovel I was using!

Twenty past two and everything is done. I just need to pack my lunch. Kitchen is clean again.

I managed to get mippies' Whiskas ordered - they don't have filters, though. Sigh ... I'll need more filters one of these days.

Well, I spent the afternoon in the garden. Nothing major, just cleaned the tomato bed, getting it ready for plants. And planted broad beans in that bed. Then I cleared another patch in the bed behind the car port. I cleaned some of the car port as well ... watered ... like I said, nothing major. But it's progress.

Neighbour's ginger cat showed up. Later he and his tabby co-habitant had a major fight out back! Clearly those two don't get along - apparently, it's been a problem since the ginger cat showed up again!

And now my back light is off ... sigh ... I'll have to report that, because it's not just a matter of changing a light bulb. Ah well ...

Dinner was delicious! I enjoyed a lovely hot bath! Now I'm going to join my mippies on the bed ... all four of them are there!
