Granny’s Trying Thursday

Good Morning All.

This is what our beach looked like last evening.
Perfect.
Today is NOT the same.
It is raining and we have a max of 14 degrees forecast.
You just have to love Cape Town.

Before I go any further, I have a question for those of you who are owned by cats.
How much of the dry pellets do your cats eat?
I fill up Tom’s dish when I get home from work and again before I leave in the morning.
I am beginning to suspect he is bringing friends home for midnight snacks.
He also gets half a pouch of wet food a day.
Can one cat eat this much?

This morning Mex woke me up to say there was something hitting against the door of the second bedroom.
On the inside.
I might have mentioned…Mex is not brave.
I might have ignored it and gone off to work.
However, I keep my clothes in that room.

I,very carefully, opened the door.
Having first gone to the loo.
Just in case, you understand.
Frights can do strange things to one’s bodily functions.
I looked everywhere.
Except under the bed.
There is NO way I can get from my hands and knees to a place of safety at sufficient speed.
I grabbed my clothes and left.
Mex will have to explore later.
hehehe…wonder if Tom brought home a snake?

My walk was sadly interrupted last night.
A woman befriended Jasmine.
Now…I am a sucker for people who like my dog.
She joined me walking.
And she talked.
And talked.
And talked.
By the time we reached the end of the beach I knew her entire history.
The woman is starved for friendship.
She is from Lithuania.
She is getting divorced.
Her daughter is studying to be a doctor.
She has had an op for ulcers.
She showed me the scar.
She asked me my birth sign.
I said Taurus.
Apparently, we make very good friends.
She lives in the same road as my DIL.
I think I am about to have a new best friend.
I MUST learn to nod,smile and walk on.
Brainwave.
I will introduce her to DIL(new attitude)
After all…they are practically neighbours.

Now…work!!!!
