A week without posting. Nothing really bad, nothing really good, I just went meh again. I discovered Bondi Rescue on youtube, and did almost nothing else on Youtube for the entire week. It has been a long time since I went nuts about something, I think it is a good sign. I did a very careful Parkrun, concentrating on my ankle the whole way. I ran half the distance, coming in at 42 minutes, and my ankle did not give any trouble. The last two kittens finally got homes, at 10 weeks. This week I have to take the mom to the vet. I do not know where to get the money, but it is not an option anymore.

Sondag Done almost nothing. Walked the dogs, read in the sun, ate, read, sleep, youtube, sleep. Our rowing season is over. It is too cold. I know, I am a coward. Will try to do some decent postings this week. Adulting is hard.

Sort of the rest of the week We had some internet trouble, and I got a serious case of the meh's. Things sort of went downhill from there. I had an outing yesterday visiting the yearly festival at the museum. My brother went with. It was good to mix with people, but I am easily running out of oomph among people these days. There was a singer that is apparently well known, after listening to him for 2 hours I wonder why. I am eating like a pig. A fat pig. At least the repairs to my car seem to have worked. One kitten got a new home.

Since I am late, I apologize by posting this picture of a gate.

Dinsdag 1. Nope 2. Weighed breakfast, wrote down the rest. 3. Lights at 10:30, awake at 4:30. not enough 4. My car had some strange noises for a long time now. I finally got it on the ramp and fastened the bolt. In the process I had to remove the battery, and the wires under the battery's isolation disintegrated. That I only found on my way home when the car died on me. So my day was spend repairing cars and I have a very very rudimentary patch on a big problem. I am not pleased. On the good side my brain stayed intact the whole day. Kittens now need homes.

Maandag 1.Nope 2. nope 3. Not enough, but at least I do not feel like shit. 4. I hate Whatsapp.

I walked the Parkrun 5K. My ankle survived. Saturday night movie was The Legend of Barney Thompson. We did some paddling. The rowing season is almost over, the pond is getting shallow. And I have another challenge up It should be here.

It is getting cold. 1. Walking, exercise challenge thingy part here. I am taking much care of my ankle. It is much better, but I am aware of it. But I have to do something exercisey. 2. Keep a logbook on what I eat. Whether I like it or not I have to start counting calories sometime. This will be a start. 3. Sleep. This is very very difficult. 4. Whatever.

Sometime during the week. We did not have internet for two days. It was nice, I should do it more often. Life continues. Small goal for the next challenge. Breathe. I do not want to anymore. Maybe if we are lucky I will meet someone who drives down your way within the next week....

Kittens now 6 weeks and 5 days.

The process was fine, the layout was confusing, there were not enough space. Except for a brief visit to the workshop I spent the day at home, doing nothing. Dit is a verskriklike klomp partye. Gelukkig sal ons van die meeste nooit weer hoor nie. Here is the link to the results for those who are interested. Bottom right is the list of political parties. I think there was 48 parties on the National list. I have no idea who most of them are. https://www.elections.org.za/NPEDashboard/app/dashboard.html Kittens now 5 weeks and 4 days.
