Short of news this week
Its school holidays here so have been doing Grandma duties
have had one Gd at the house most of the week
and had a sleep over at another house last night
To put it mildly its been a ‘bit warm’ here today
Reached 35c/95f
but for some reason only known to them
the cats prefer to be outside on days like this
not inside no matter how cool it is
I went to check on them about lunchtime
and found Leroy in one of his favourite spots
sound asleep under the deck
He will be 18 in April
so I value every moment I have with him
Like so many old fellas
he tends to drop off and sleep most of the day
Normally Kiera would be with him
but today she seemed to prefer another spot
however when she found out where I was
I wasn’t surprised to feel her come up behind me
True to form
she honed in on sound asleep Leroy
‘Hello what you up to’
‘Not a lot
Go away I need to snooze’
Late afternoon I found her on my comfy chair
oblivious to the world around her
This is my bogan/redneck contribution to our lifestyle
Its an old comfy armchair I kept when we got a new suite
It stays on the deck
and is so comfy – just right for a grandma to sit in and knit
down behind the chair in a shady spot
is the old fella himself
doing what comes naturally to him
an hour later he’d moved a short distance to another spot
Kiera really wanted to get on the bed with him
but like a lot of bed partners
he seemed to be hogging it all
Now if you enlarge this last photo
you will see he wasn’t asleep at all
he’s lying there with his eyes open
Not sure what the thoughts were going through his mind tho’
maybe something along the lines of
they’d better clear all that wood out from under there
Its a mess
