A finally in from the pub quiz \u2013 wonder if he won his much desired meat platter \u2013 last time it was a bag of potatoes \u2013 wow! Worse than a blankety blank pen. Cats noisy below \u2013 probably dismembering a rabbit on the carpet. They managed 7 dead or nearly dead mice in one shift recently &#8211; a record &#8211; but we have also had many rabbits, birds, shrews, moles (never eaten must not be tasty) a bat \u2013 alive \u2013 A ran way to his room \u2013 and a squirrel, sadly only it\u2019s tail. They operate as a team which makes them more deadly. They have been seen collaborating on the tricky task of getting a rabbit (still alive) through the cat door. One is on side pushing while the other pulls from the other side. Said rabbit ended up bottom up ( just bottom and tail, rest consumed) in the middle of the carpet giving the impression that it was digging its way to Australia to escape.<\/p>\n<p>So far this morning\/night I have entertained myself by finally figuring out how to move files between my home network my Ipad and my Iphone \u2013 very nerdy stuff but discovered an excellent application called \u2018File Browser\u2019 that can do the job. Added some opinionated stuff about the Ebola Missionary to the blog. Hopefully managed to initiate the alert system properly this time so that you all get an alert when I post. Been trying to figure this for some time \u2013 should be very straight forward but because of conflicting plugins turned into a bit of a prolonged task. My last task was to track my amazon prime package \u2013 an excellent service it even tells you the name of the driver &#8211; it&#8217;s always Shaun but there are three Shauns \u2013 something of a statistical blip. Believe or not all that excitement has taken 3 hours so now the birds are tweeting and I can get up and make myself a cup of tea- somehow I cannot bring myself to do that before dawn.<\/p>\n<p>More treatment at the hospital yesterday. A glorious muddle of checking and re checking my bloods. I admitted I was very confused about when they had to do the checks \u2013 every time \u2013 every other time \u2013 once per cycle to which a nurse replied \u201cso are we.\u201d I find that sort of honesty and good humour such a delight, so much better than the guarded \u2018 we might get sued\u2019 response rampant in so many organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Any way my bloods are good. Never sure what that means except it triggers the treatment to continue but it\u2019s got to be better than bad blood. I continue to feel pretty good. A few aches and pains tend to emerge when I get a bit more active but I have a spring in my stride and indeed in my heart and have lots to look forward to. I even feather dusted my study yesterday to get rid of some of cat hair. They do like to sleep on computers \u2013 I worry that that may led to a self combusting cat someday but I guess they will relocate before that happens.<\/p>\n<p>I am on with J\u2019s challenging modernist Portuguese literature and enjoying it. That means I have 8 books on the go not including techie stuff. I think it&#8217;s the drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway tea time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yet another 2:30 am start.
