Rainy LS Tuesday

We had load shedding 02:00 -04:30 this morning, so I had turned off the PC and listened to 'Making Money' on my smartphone.

For some reason I didn't sleep well, some disturbing dreams. I'm a little worried about Janey, she's not as exuberant as usual - I keep checking her ear colour! I had spot on'd my mippies last Monday, but this weekend, Mewthos in particular, kept bringing in ticks. None bit, I picked them off while they were crawling atop his fur. And that's got me worried about Janey ... this morning I dreamed one of my babies was dying ... only, it looked like Ziva, but felt like Mini - if that makes sense to you?

Well, in dreams you don't so much identify people or pets or anything by sight, as one does awake - it's more of a feeling of the person, or pet or sometimes even environment. And the visual in my dream had slivery white fur - it felt a mix between Janey and Mini. Neither definitely.

Well, I got up a little later than yesterday. I stayed in bed a while, trying to shake the dream. It's been raining since the early hours - non stop. Still raining.

Traffic, of course, was not fun! When they continue their murderous overtaking manoeuvres on wet roads, in rain coming down so hard, you can barely see the car in front - and then drive without their lights on ... yeah, that's spine chilling! Then we hit traffic - caused by rubber necking! A car had come off the road and ended up in the ditch - and everyone had to slow down to make sure they didn't miss any possible gore! Not that there was anything to see - which is probably why traffic was so slow! Gore suckers weren't satisfied.

It really makes me angry, when traffic updates call this 'spectator value'! It's gore seeking, rubber necking, not some sort of entertainment! And calling it 'value' implies that there IS something worth seeing - slowing down those, who can't find any 'value', even more, as they seem convinced they must have missed something!

Anyway, rain is due to continue throughout most of today ...

Aaaand load shedding Stage 2 now implemented from 09:00 today - until further notice! We're off again 10:00 - 12:30 and tomorrow 08:00 - 10:30 & 16:00 - 18:30 ... Sigh ...

I just got a call from one of my landlord's employees - asking to rent my outside room ... I told him that I'm not comfortable with that, as i don't know him, but promised I'd talk to my neighbour about him. Messaged my neighbour - I wonder what he'll say ... as I don't know how this employee got my phone number in the first place? I suspect from my neighbour ... he replied he'll talk to me later. Should be interesting ...

Fruit juice arrived! Nice!

Tomorrow. I'm taking a break the rest of the afternoon ... like ... half an hour, ha ha!

No internet at home ... so ... well, I cleaned some of the tomato plants last night, and that's about it.
