Today got off to a really good start.
We've had FW's sister staying with us for a few days. This has been good for the three of us. The only draw back for me has been the fact that she talks during my TV viewing. I mean who in their right mind talks in Corrie, Boston Legal or House? Its just not done.
Anyway their dad came to pick her up this morning. He was due to arrive at 0830; yes that's right, 0830 on a Saturday morning. But he surprised us... he got here at 0800, just as FW was going down to make us a cuppa to wake up with.
However this did have an added benefit. It made sure that we got up earlier than we would normally. This meant that we had the necessary impetus to start tidying up the front garden. We managed to weed the 2 side troughs and all the patio edge and joins. Hopefully Monday will be fine enough for us to do the front trough and clear the back drain.
During our weeding stint we had the 3 cats wandering around looking at what we were doing. Suddenly we heard the sound of cat mewing for attention. Che and Lemur were happily exploring the patio, the sound didn't seem to come from them, while Sherpa had disappeared. So I ignored it and got back to weeding.
A few seconds later the sound came again. The 2 cats were still their and Sherpa was still out of sight. Then the sound came again. I looked up and who's coming down the roof.... Sherpa.
He'd evidently got up via the lean-to at the back and come over the roof. So there he was prancing around, occasionally with a worried look, and then rolling around or rubbing against the dorma. Then he looked a little puzzled as how to get down. FW had to go and let him in through bedroom window.
The rest of the day has been spent doing very little but watching the football and the end of The Quiet Man.
