LS 6 Sunday

I forgot about the ten to midnight load shedding slot, last night. I got lucky, and realised just in time to turn off the PC!

Internet is miserable - I can barely get two bars.

I have seen the tabby kitten this morning, all is well in my little world!

Smeagol went after Ziva again yesterday afternoon. I have, however, noticed, that he only goes after any of my mippies, when either of his food bowl is empty, plus his female is around, plus he's been calling for me to fill the bowl for a while.

Bread dough is done, shaped and re-rising. Next batch of tomato paste is waiting for the oven. I've been considering various options to make myself french toast - all involve just too much effort and cleaning, afterwards. In the end, I decided to make just plain toast - using my toaster bags, making two cheese toasts at the same time. And I burned them, ha ha ha!

Second batch I toasted for only 2 minutes. Not burned.

It's gone just past noon ... I'm really tired. Staying up, watching a Series till ten at night will do that to you. Only ... I can't take a nap, now. Power goes off at two - albeit for only two hours - but I can't let the rolls rise much longer. I have to bake before I take a nap.

Struggling to keep my eyes open, though ...

I just took the trays out of the oven, around half one, then went to lie down. I woke up just in time to turn off the PC for load shedding. I had a smoke, and went back to bed ...

Half four I dragged myself out and into the kitchen. Started whatever I can do without power ... now I'm - very slowly - working my way through the dishes. I still have to do something with the mince ... 

Right, two packets of mince in the freezer, ditto two packets of chips. Now I still need to make the meatballs / hamburger patties. It's past six already ...

The heat is really, really bad! It may only read 32 in the shade, but it feels more like 40! Really! It's bad!

It's almost seven ... I still haven't made the Frikadellen ... 

Oh my word! I just spotted another kitten! At first I thought it was the black and white one, just looking a bit grey in the twilight. Then the black and white kitten came out to join it! Turns out mommy's sibling is another female! That makes six cats! Smeagol, two teenage females and three kittens!

After taking a shower, I found enough energy to fry the Frikadellen! Phew! It's quarter past eight, now ... if I don't want to oversleep tomorrow, I'd better get settled ...
