Wordless Wednesday - Hello June - Hello Rain

Hello June

Hello June - Welcome Winter!!!  Actually when mum walked out of work this afternoon, she had to take her jacket off as it was surprisingly warm and not the chill she was expecting.  So she enjoyed her walk home - especially as she work was almost over.  She is on call until 8am, but a quiet on call where one seldom gets called in.

I got asked if I slept under the covers?  At the moment I am strictly on top of the quilts, and I prefer to sleep not touching mum.  This is the 10-16 degree C rule.  The 1-9 degree C rule is on top of the covers but touching mum by sleeping between her knees pinning her to the bed, and making her joints seize up the next day due to stiffness.  Being between her knees also makes me out of her reach as her arms can't reach down to pat me.   The under 1 degree C rule is to cry and want her to lift the top quilt so that I can then snuggle down by her knees, or sleep beside her touching her and preferably moving her out of her warm spot.

After 7 days of 6am alarm calls mum is pleased to have a day off tomorrow to relax and take it easy, then a short work week of just 3 days work before she gets next weekend off.  Lovely.  Hope your week has started well too.

Hello June - It's Caturday

Hello Caturday lovers - can you believe it is June already?  We welcomed our first day of winter with mild temperatures and a sunny old day.   Mum got up early bird with me and went to the market and for a walk in the summer.  Today she bought lemons, potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes, feijoas, and bananas.

  She then had to hurry into town for her hairdressing appointment.  Her hairdresser is lovely and mum has been going to her for six years, but she is leaving to travel and have adventures.  Mum knows one of the other girls there though, and might get her to continue cutting and colouring her locks.  Choosing new hairdressers is hard.

A friend was shopping in town, so mum and her met for lunch of a tasty Reuben bagel and then a wee wander around in the sunshine.  They went to a little cinema to see a movie Barbara, which mum would only give a 2/5.  

The winter evening is creeping in, so the heater is on and mum has a roast lamb and potatoes in the oven, with carrots and peas for her dinner.  A few chores will be done and the bed made and maybe a movie will be watched.  Then mum and I will head to bed, and I will snuggle up with her.  She says that she must be getting old as the thought of a cosy bed with clean sheets, a new library book to read and a fat cat seems like the perfect Caturday night.
