HI MONDAY

Hi Monday! Cute isn't it?

Ok, back to business around here today - even though it is sort of suppose to be a holiday. Oh, that's just the way things go. We had a great weekend here though.

TODAY: Well, surprising even myself today. Didn't think I'd have time for this. Didn't I'd find time to post. I truly thought I'd be going at a rather quick pace. Today is packing day. Today is the start of the long haul.

12,726 kilometers or 7,908 miles or 6,872 nautical miles to go! Hmmmmm. Thinking this just might take awhile.

Ok well guess it's time to go.

Good to Go!

HANG ON KITTY CAT(S)

Hang on Kitty Cat. Look at this poor little thing. Now how the heck did you end up in there? Speeding down the plant stall road and then another really big long street we have around here after that, past my house too in fact - in the back of a beat-up something or other kind of truck. (with a huge gaping hole in the tailgate) Made me cringe and grit my teeth (driver too) every single bump that beat-up truck hit (lots). Hang on Kitty Cats. I can't believe they (turns out there were three of them - see below)(count 'em) didn't get themselves bumped out of there.
Yes, this is a true a story. I just happen to be in the passenger seat following behind this truck and the camera just happened to be sitting there. I certainly did not expect to see this. And you should see how many pictures I had to take.

BAHAYA - that's the word I learnt last week. It means dangerous. And TAKUT, the word I learnt before that - is afraid. Funny how a person can learn a new word here - and then get to re-enforce the use of it. Like the Bahaya Story the driver told to me yesterday when he came to work. Before the Hang on Kitty Cat(s) incident.

So, the Bahaya Story. Turns out, while he (driver) was out fishing with all his buddies on Sunday, his wife, (not sure what she was doing with the thing - possibly cutting back bamboo or grass) somehow dropped a big long knife/sword/machete sort of thing (he refers to it as the samurai sword) point down into the ground and pierced right through her foot. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Bahaya!

Wholly I need to start learning some better words than that I think.

And ........ I have no idea what happened to those three cats.

TODAY: Off to the salon first thing this morning. Hair fix-up and a massage to start the day with. Yup, feeling it. Gonna be a good day I think.

Side Note: Can someone please tell my mother, I need her donut recipe.

Thanks for reading. Good to Go!

HI JAN

Hi JAN. Hey everyone this is Jan. He, yes he - Jan is a boy cat, that lives in our neighbourhood. Just like the whole wack of other cats that do. There's a big population of cats around here these days. Anyways, Jan is actually a bit of a special cat. First off - he's got a cool name, it's even an expat name I think. (I wonder how he got that) The cat that lives at our house likes him. (weird) He's got a real full length tail. (even more weird) And he's got beautiful ginger and white hair. (even his eyes match) Too cool. I think somebody should adopt him - don't you?

Finally (as you can see) got the internet back again yesterday - late afternoon. Yeah! For how long? We'll just have to wait and see. I'm rushing with this morning's post though - just in case.

Yesterday ended up being one of those kind of days. One of those days that I did a whole bunch of things I didn't plan to do - but worked out just fine anyways. Took care of a bunch of that procrastination stuff yesterday. You know the stuff you really should be doing - but - way easier to just put it off for another day. Seriously kicked a bunch of that in the butt yesterday.

....... oh, and just so you know - the roof didn't leak. Not yet anyways. Saving that for another day. We do have some pretty mushy looking patches in the ceiling though. What's life without a little bit of excitement? eh?

TODAY: All kinds of plans for today - making up for all the stuff I didn't do yesterday. Starting with a lunch. One of my friends really, really needs a lunch day. She's a very busy lady these days and could just use a couple hours to just escape and get away.

All kinds of events coming up over the next couple of days. We have a dinner (BBQ) party to go to tonight, and, with that in mind - we're off to shake up the world today.

Ok, Thursday. Let's roll!

Good to Go!

FISH TALES

Helloooooo Monday! Did you know? This is the last May Monday of the year 2009. After this one we're moving into June.

I'll get to the FISH TALES in a moment - first let me tell you about the cats. And no these are not related stories. So these two cats are just a few of the many, many that like to hang out near our house. And I should point out, the cat that's actually attached to the house is having some serious stress issues with this too. Poor thing.

So anyways these two, I'm guessing are related, as in kinship (brother and sister perhaps) - cause there's definitely some of that going on here. And they are an inseparable pair too. Found themselves the only dry patch around this place to have a nice nap after the flooding rain we got hit with on Saturday afternoon. Too cute don't you think?

FISH TALE. Fish 1 and Fish 2. Well, turns out it's a good thing we didn't get around to naming these guys yet. Sad to say but the orange fellow (Fish 2) didn't make it through the night over the weekend. Yup, woke up Sunday morning to see the black guy (Fish 1) no longer has a play mate. Now it seems he's been doing victory laps around the fish bowl for the last 24 hours too. ......... just you wait, this afternoon I'm going out and picking up Fish #3.

Special Note: If we end up with Fish 14 and 27............

I've made the decision to support J. Button in the F1. Not only does he have a cool name, but, he's now won 5 out of this year's 6 races. And since this is my first year of actually getting into this (watching) sport (can you actually call it a sport?) I think it's only fitting that I throw all my support to this guy and his team.

We did manage to come up with the F1 Drink. Let's just say it involved a blender, three types of liqueur, a whole lot of frozen strawberries and even a plastic spatula that managed to get itself in there and got all chopped up too. And it was pink. (the drink + a few bits of white plastic too)

:: The AC is still not fixed. Still waiting and waiting on that.

:: Ants have now moved into our bathroom.

:: And my friend - seriously did in her toe!! OUCH! Ouch! ouch!

TODAY: Purchase Fish #3.

After thought: All the cats in this compound are related to each other. Doh!

Good to Go!
