LS Friday

I seriously struggled to get out of bed this morning. With the power outage, I got to sleep later than usual ...

Weird dream this morning, again. Janey covered in ticks - like poor Smeagol currently is in reality.

Mini has lately taken to filling my bathroom basin, while I'm on the toilet. Don't ask ... 

She just curls up in the basin and starts washing herself, happy as a ... well ... cat in water doesn't make sense, does it?

Well, I've been thinking about this person wanting to rent the outside room. Again, I feel a bit run-over, like ... it's a done deal, just because I haven't said 'no'. The fact that I haven't said 'yes' either, is somehow lost ... 

On the other hand, though, I have been thinking of sub-letting. Not so much for the rent, this time, but more for the increased security and possible help, like in the garden. I'm putting all my energy into keeping up - I'm making less progress than I'd like.

I'm just going to wait and see what happens tomorrow morning - after all, I first must have my landlord's permission. I made that absolutely clear to my neighbour last night.

Back at home, my shroompies started showing up last night. The first photo was taken last night:

Only 21 hours later and they have grown A LOT!

That little flush on the left - that wasn't planned. I made three holes for flushes to grow through, top to bottom. So, this one ... surprise!

It had been raining today, so I couldn't mow the lawn. It was still drizzling on and off the whole afternoon, so I couldn't go anywhere in the garden for long. So, I decided to tackle the veranda. I cleaned the forward area.

I swept the floor, first with the outdoor broom, then the rough indoor broom, and then with the indoor broom. Then I got the hose pipe, wet the whole area and started mopping. Again. Again. Again. And again ... I didn't count how many times I had to go over the whole area just to get all the mud off. Well, mostly off. It looks much, much better!

It's just a small area of the whole veranda ... so ... there's a huge job still to be done. Sigh ...

Anyway, when I had decided I'd done enough, I sat on the veranda and all my mippies joined me. We had a lovely quarter hour quality time, just sitting, watching things move, cuddling a bit ... relaxing together.

Now, I'll just make myself something to eat ... and call it a day. Have to turn the PC off, as load shedding from midnight till two again. And from eight to ten tomorrow morning, as well.

Sigh ...
