A reminder of the winter ahead, bummer after a couple of nice days of actual summer. Ah well.
I checked on the cats first thing, they had eaten all their food and drunk all their water so I topped that up and then came back in for Popmaster. Ady and I walked down to the village to collect some bits from the shop and some stuff from the freezer and then came home for lunch.
I had another half an hour in with the cats – I have set up a chair next to their crates so I can just sit there, talk to them and read or whatever and get them used to me being around. Fairly easy to do on a day like today when it was tipping with rain and I had nothing else particularly to be getting on with, less easy on sunny days when I could be out on the croft or days when I have commitments down in the village but hearteningly they both ate and drank infront of me, sniffed my hand and seemed fairly calm with me there. Not sure if they have been to the loo yet despite me putting a litter tray in there – Ginger spent some time just sitting in it! I even got to touch Comfrey who is timid but not aggressive.
Ady and I went down to the pier to collect our diesel which came off and then Ady spent some time de-molding in the bedroom while I spent another couple of hours with the cats. Not really hard work, particularly when armed with my kindle and a bag of humbugs ;). Davies and Scarlett made bread and pizza dough and took advantage of the wind to have lots of internet time. Scarlett had a shower and hair wash, poor thing has her period again and it’s lasted a week this time.
I came in just before 6pm and warmed up before making pizzas for dinner. We watched Doctor Who and a couple of episodes of Friends. Hoping the weather is better tomorrow.
