The Mummies move their legs around a bit during the night and sometimes M Kaz moves hers so much that she almost knocks me off the bottom of her bed. I usually jump off before she can actually do that but it sometimes doesn’t make for a restful night. Thank goodness I have my own bed. Hmmm, I wonder where Uncle Wayne will sleep when he’s here looking after me when the Mummies are off and about later in the year. Will he sleep in our bed or will he leave our bed for me and sleep in one of the Mummies’ beds? I do know that M Kaz has been giving his visit a lot of thought – which is why she has 200kg of cat litter on order from Katz-Loo. That should be enough to tide us over until they come back and can order some more.
It’s a pity the cat litter can’t keep us warm because it is still cold at Jannie and M Kaz heard on the news today that more cold weather is expected. Single digits was mentioned. M Kaz still hasn’t turned the reverse cycle air conditioning on – they just keep making sure they’re wearing puffer jackets and beanies, and M Sooz has a new pair of warm slippers to keep her feet warm. Nobody remembers it being this cold last year.
M Kaz has been cross about rubbish twice this week. The first one was on Tuesday morning when the rubbish bin wasn’t emptied. I thought it was a bit funny because when she noticed that the neighbour’s bin hadn’t been put out (K & S’s daughter is staying while they are overseas on holiday), she put it out for them – not wanting it not to be collected. So how funny was it when she came back later and found that their bin hadn’t been emptied. M Kaz was going to call the Council to ‘give them a serve’ but she checked their website first and realised the reason it hadn’t been collected was because they couldn’t reach it where she’d positioned it immediately behind S’s ute. She will know for next time that she can’t do that, and that it’s probably better not to put it immediately in front of a vehicle either.
The other time she was cross was because of the blue skip whch she has finally unfolded and started filling with things – old chairs, the door Uncle Wayne replaced, the old desk, a couple of office chairs – that type of thing. She hasn’t finished yet but she knew there was going to be some spare room in there so she told Margaret up the road that she could put some things in – but she thought she was going to do it thoughtfully rather than just dumping stuff in there. Now M Kaz is trying to decide whether she will get her to re-pack the skip properly or whether M Kaz will do it herself. I know which one I’m betting on.
The Mummies have been doing the washing again – and I love that because it gives me a very comfortable place to be while I’m enjoying the warmth of the Outback.
