LS 6 4 6 Tuesday

Not a good night, to start with ... I had taken only coffee to work yesterday, so I ended up drinking coffee late afternoon ... as a result, I couldn't get to sleep. 

I got two vouchers with my last Takealot delivery - R100 each. Unfortunately, valid only this week. Well, I figured, I can get next month's delivery now - and save R200. Only ... 1 voucher per order. Sigh ... well, I got one box of chocolates and another bag of litter, which is still extraordinarily cheap today! Half of what I ordered last week has since gone up. 

I recently had a chat with a friend, and my night toilet light came up in the conversation. Sadly, it has stopped working - no, not just the batteries. Well, it was cheap, so I'm still happy with the purchase. But it got me thinking ... so I'm now looking for rechargeable, motion-sensor lights. I've decided to try one of these new rechargeable light bulbs - they work like standard light bulbs, fit in standard fittings, just stay on - albeit dimmer - when the power goes off. When the power is on, they recharge, if the light is turned on.

Unfortunately, they're all the round bulbs - not yet available in the stick-like form. I don't think they'll fit where the light bulb actually fits horizontal. I'm taking one for the bedroom. And I'm taking another one - with motion sensor - for either bathroom (if it can fit) or passage / alcove. You don't want a motion sensor light bulb in your bedroom, when you have 5 cats! They'll turn your bedroom into a disco every night!

Those are relatively cheap. But now I'm looking at full lights, not just bulbs. I'm thinking of sticking something under the cupboards, over the counter, in the kitchen. Right, second order placed, voucher used, let's see how these lights work! Both deliveries should arrive tomorrow.

Load shedding this afternoon from two till six. 4 Hours! Again from ten to midnight, and tomorrow morning from six to eight. Again.

Anyway. With this being pressed for time writing, I forgot to mention that I was able to pick up and cuddle Vimes this weekend! He's slowly warming up to me! I'm hoping I'll be able to take him to the vet without a trap ... in June. Soon. His sister is an absolute cuddle bug!

Well, five to five ... time to publish ...
