I had a weird dream about toads guarding the entrance to my garden ...clearly inspired by counting four toads now living on my veranda!
This morning, when I went to feed the ferals, I found both bowls empty! Good! Lady Sybill is hanging around for cuddles, we've had quite a few sessions already. The tuxedo mommy is here, her brown tabby baby is here. I saw Sybills mum earlier. Ditto tuxedo kitten. Only Vimes is still missing.
Lady Sybill seems to be making her move to move into the house! She's doing exactly what Ziva did: inspecting every corner, every room ... Mini won't have it, though. She attacks the poor kitten! I have to hold her back. Right now, I think she's somewhere in my bedroom, but I can't find her. I'm just going by the attitudes of Janey and Mini.
I've been busy all morning. I've grated cheese, picked all the bell peppers off the plant - it's covered in flowers again! Cut them all up, collected the seeds, and put spread them on a flat surface in the freezer. I've sealed all the potato bags, processed the last avocados, and now the mince is cooking for the burrito's. Bread is almost done - I opted to bake it in the machine.
Looks funny! Tiny turd of a loaf of bread ... no clue what went wrong. Not a brick, though. It's edible. It'll do.
Round loaf came out of my rectangular pan. Weird, eh? I forgot to add salt!
Today promised to be cooler than yesterday ... another broken promise! It's almost one and over 30 Celsius in the shade. And I'm running out of energy. I still have a lot to do, I'm afraid ...
Right! I've packed six more burritos, four in the fridge, two in the freezer. Sealed and labelled the avo and the peppers. Vacuum sealed the left-over salsa sauce - in the original bag, and packed the left over mince in the freezer. Now to wash dishes ... it's almost two ... energy levels are dropping ...
Another 'lovely' update on load shedding: Stage 2 only starts tomorrow morning 05:00, not tonight at 16:00!
Right. Quarter past three, kitchen is clean! Phew! I'm glad I bullied myself into doing that!
I watched a video by an Asian lady, who called it 'be kind to your future self'. I like that! 'Future me will be grateful for all the hard work Present Me did this weekend!'
Ah! Lady Sybill spent the day in the Wendy - wasn't hiding inside, after all. Smeagol just showed up and I fed them. So far, just the two of them. But it's only four.
Well, I've packed my lunch, just need to add the fruit juice tomorrow morning - coming out of the fridge.
I'm actually quite proud of myself! This is the first time that I've actually processed everything I bought on a major food haul! Every last crumb!
Sigh, I've been a bad mommy! I haven't cleaned the litter boxes almost a week! Bad, bad mommy! I've just spent the past hour cleaning them! As soon as I was done, Ziva came in and gratefully used one!
Still haven't seen Vimes since the brush cutting ... last I saw of him, was when he was trying to catch flowers, jumping up the stalks to catch the blossom at the top, in my center bed! Let's hope that's not the last time! I've seen his mum again, today, and, of course, his sister, pretty much all day long.
I poured some garlic oil into a sachet of Whiskas and put it in the fridge. When they came in, I stirred it up a bit more and served it. Ziva gave it a look, then looked at me ... ditto Mini. So I added some of Ziva's Renal wet food and mixed it. They both ate that! Little gourmet's!
I've showered, so time for cuddles and rest ...
