Thanks a bunch moggies!!

After I had finished the blog last night I turned round to find the amaryllis had keeled over. Holding it up so it didn't break while I tried to find something to support it, scissors and something to use to tie it to the support caused me quite a lot of anxiety! But I managed it and this evening it is still upright and the fourth flower is open. It is very tall.
This morning I left to walk to the leisure centre in time to see the sunrise, except their really wasn't one as there were too many clouds. Still took some pictures as it started to rain, had a very damp bag to take into the leisure centre today, and that was before going in the pool!

On the way home I went into a hairdressers and made an appointment for cut and colour next week. A different one this time so will see what it turns out like. As I approached the house I saw the ladder outside our gate, realised the builders mending the museum wall wanted access again, and also realised that I couldn't get out of the back door to open the gate as it was completely blocked off with stuff from the kitchen and utility room. So decided to go in and get the key and go round and find the workmen. Got inside and was greeted by a present from one of the cats, that really set the day off well.
Went round and talked to the men and gave them the key, they were going to climb over from the museum side and then open the gate so that they could get their wheelbarrows in.
We had the men coming to finish off the flooring in the kitchen, utility room and downstairs loo. Tina had to pop out a couple of times so I settled down to reading after making them a drink. When Tina was in I caught the bus to Freeport, just for an hour, got some bits at Pound Stretcher and some liver for my tea and some meat for the weekend. The sunset was looking good so I walked up to the higher car park and the large puddle meant I got some reflections!

When I got home the flooring guys had gone, it is really good to have the final rooms sorted as we have had the fact that everything would have to be moved again at the back of our minds.

I had my liver for tea and have finished reading Goodnight Mr Tom, which was delightful The play is supposed to be touring the country after the London run, must check if it is coming near here.

  1. Thought from the title that the cats had caused the plant to topple over, but then realised it was the dead bodies you were referring too. I hope it doesn’t become too much of a habit. Considering you’ve been hanging around for flooring fitters, you’ve managed to get out and about a fair bit. I thought the sunrise pics were nice, but without a doubt the sunset ones are better! The reflections make such a difference.
    The floor looks good, and it’s one step closer to having everything finished. Not that that will ever happen!

  2. I hope it doesn't become too frequent too, but am not optimistic about that one. Have had cats and like them mostly, but have always hated the catching. I know people say 'it is in their nature', but if they can adapt to having food given to them then they should be able to stop killing for the sake of it!!
    The floor does look good and we know everything can stay put now.
