Tuesday

Uncle Wayne is still visiting us … and even though he does let me sleep on his bed during the day and when he isn’t on there, he still insists on putting me out of the room at night.  I have seen something like this on television – Fred Flintstone putting his cat out for the night – but I can’t sneak back in through the window before Wayne gets back “inside”. I don’t really mind sitting outside his door, waiting to get back inside, because sometimes he opens the door enough for me to slip back in … alas, sometimes it doesn’t.  But I am nothing if not patient.

So the Mummies still have Uncle Wayne working on little “jobs” around the house – now that the naughty screen door in the living room has been taken care of, he has fixed M Sooz’s shower screen – which has been working but which Uncle Wayne fixed so it is better.  Then, as if that wasn’t enough, since M Kaz and Uncle Wayne have been watching Netflix movies in their “down time”, M Kaz has been increasingly unhappy with the sound from the television – I think anyone would have been given that even with the volume at 100% – with some considerable tweaking of the various audio settings – it was very hard to hear.  The problem was solved fairly easily though – luckily Uncle Wayne had researched televisions for replacing M Kaz’s mother’s (let’s call her Old Nan) set – so it was fairly easy to select a suitable replacement for the Mummies.  They now have a 50″ set.  Hmmmm, I overheard M Kaz speaking with Uncle Wayne the other day about measurements – why is it that even though Australia changed from the imperial to metric measurement system in 1966 – here it is 2022 and they are still using the old system for lots of things.

While Uncle Wayne is busy doing stuff around the house – and yard – and waiting, waiting, waiting for the deck building materials to be delivered – I have been keeping myself busy around the place as well – sleeping on the bed, sleeping in my Christmas box on the table, sleeping in the hanging thing on the cat tree (the Mummies keep calling it “kitten in a basket” when I do that).
