New curtains!

 Good morning dear Blogger friends. When I posted about my handy woman stint with the light, I realized that I've never had bathroom curtains since moving here in December 2017! My windows are high and frosted so I have never felt the need for curtains.

However, off the shops I went and bought some ready-to-hang curtains. Only thing is when I returned home and decided to hang the curtains, I saw the designs and accompanying slogans were more suited to a kitchen! Things like Coffee is a good idea; Bon appetit and The kitchen is the heart of the home, were definitely kitchen themes! 

So I removed my curtains from my office-cum-kitchen open plan space, washed them and gave them to Thandi. 

The new curtains have made my workspace cozy and homely

I will have to make another trip to linen shop in town and look for bathroom curtains! 

HAPPY TUESDAY TO YOU ALL!

Sunshine, wildflowers and my autumn garden

 At last the sun appeared two days ago. 

It is still sunny. 

Not holding my breath! 

Early morning over the farm

While walking with Skabby on Saturday, I stopped to snap these little wildflowers

And this week, the beginning of May, we're still enjoying beautiful autumn weather and surrounds. 

My garden is secluded...

...restful...

...and my small piece of paradise

HAPPY TUESDAY TO YOU ALL! 

Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth

 Missy, my smallest and youngest kitty and the cat whom we rescued while I worked at the art shop years ago, is the most feisty, vocal and demanding of my three cats. She jumps onto my shoulder while I sleep and nudges my face with her nose until I let her under the covers. She cuddles up, purring and kneading and then for no reason, will slip out, off the bed and onto the floor. 

She is also very picky when it comes to WHAT I offer for breakfast and WHERE it is served. Last week I posted her eating breakfast in bed, which is her favorite place.

Early in the morning (I am awake at 4.30am), as soon as she has had breakfast, she dashed out of the door, onto the veranda and sprints across the lawn. We think she spends most of the day under the shrubs birdwatching (well, Mum is a birdwatcher!) and will come in at about 4.30pm. 

She eats a few kibbles and has a drink of water and then hops onto my bed to sleep for an hour or two. At 7pm, she stands at the door and meows until I let her out. I used to worry about her going out at night, but I cannot do anything much about it. She always returns around 8.30 9pm and meows at the door to be let in. 

Yesterday afternoon, I caught her in repose as it were, and quickly snapped the occasion!

The picture of innocence

HAPPY MONDAY TO YOU ALL!
