The weekend with lots of wee things

Hi,

Despite a long weekend for us here, it was a hard slog to get up at 5.30am for my usual routine at the gym and into work. Maybe the long weekend and slightly lazy days contributed to my slothfulness. Hahah.

We did get a lot done over the weekend. No huge physical activity because Mike has still got a lingering cough from covid. Covid lung, he is calling it. Sensible to avoid the big tramp that Andrew and Janine went on, I reckon.

Our parcel from Mighty Ape arrived and the flopping fish seems to be a reasonable toy for the cats. Especially Moxley. That first night we were in bed late and I got hear this light thumping. Eventually worked out a cat was upstairs batting at the fish and it was flopping on the floor and echoing down to us.

Moxley loves her new trout

Smudge prefers her catnip

I caught up with Khemry in town and we enjoyed a Machete iced latte together on her last day at our last workplace. She's off to Kiwibank. In January. Off to visit Cambodia between now and then. Good on her. Kiwibank is so lucky!

Machete - best iced lattes!

Oh, hello there to Khemry

Iced latte and scone

Saturday saw me get ready to watch the Black Ferns play Scotland in the last pool match of the rugby world cup. Smashed them 57 - 0. Poor Scotland.

Sarah, Hamish and Ryan came over at the start of the game and had to watch with me. Mike kept Ryan busy. Pizza night. Yum!

Moxley draped over me

Go Black Ferns!

Looking like a cat model

Saturday also saw Mike weed eating outside in the back garden. It looked so good. And I assembled the new cat tree. Seems to be well used by Moxley at least.

Sunday saw us do a few things at Mike's mother's unit. Batts in the attic. Paint on the corner joins outside. Some bark chips and stones. Caught up with Sally.
