Month: April 2022

M Kaz has been doing that decluttering thing again … and it has been good because she has moved my cat tower from where it was to into the living room near the doors. Even though it now looks out onto the brick wall, it seems much better there and I have been spending a lot of time on the top shelf, the next shelf down, and in the basket.  I have to admit I am finding it a bit more squeezy that it used to be and I have a feeling it won’t be long until the Mummy starts putting up “does my bottom look big in this?” pictures on the interweb.  I don’t care though, because I am very comfortable in the tower.

Let’s see … what else has been happening around here?  The Mummies are still waiting for the yard man to come … hopefully it will be this week so I can finally get back outside.  Every time the grass is a little bit long M Kaz says I can’t go out because she’s afraid that I’ll get lost … or the bities will find me.

We have been having some fun inside though – during the great decluttering M Kaz found one of my favourite stringey things and we’ve been having great games with it. We put a little video of one of the sessions onto my blog yesterday.  

I saw Lennie the other day. They are looking well … and learning to run very very fast. We are going to have such fun when I get out there to play!

I was a very helpful Nigey today and M Kaz took lots of photographs of me being a helper … not a hindrance … as she did some more shifting of things in the living area. She was also trying to fix the screen door – who knew that using curse words on it would work? Well, no-one, because they didn’t! The brute strength was a bit of a flop too. WD-40 was marginally better than nothing although I think M Kaz is going to wait overnight to see if there’s any change on that &$%#(*& door.

Oh, and did I mention that I saw Lennie … although Kermie is still a no-show. I hope he’s okay because there were some pretty big birds around here today.

How on earth did it get to be April already?  It seems like just a second ago that the Mummies were deciding that they wouldn’t stay up for the midnight fireworks on New Year’s Eve … and here we are past the time for April Fool’s Day jokes! 

M Kaz had put some work into her April Fool’s Day ruse this year – enough to say that it was about her convincing everyone that she was working out the algorithm they used to select the random word for each day’s Wordle so that she could get the word out first go! 

And get it out first go she did … although there was subterfuge involved … but not as much as there could have been because she was trying to find out the Wordle the night before (surely NZ would get it at midnight their time – but no!) so she could send it to everyone so they could get it out first go as well.  Hmmmmm.  The best laid plans … of mice (yay, mice!) and people …

Otherwise it has been fairly quiet around here.  M Kaz has finally managed to find someone to do the clearing out of the two front gardens so it looks as though I’ll be able to go out there again soon. 

It was good when Steve, our neighbour at the front, came over today to prune back the jasmine that they planted on their side of the fence but which had started to cascade down our side.  It looks a lot tidier now and I like to think that is, at least a little bit, because I supervised.
