I didn't know it had a name. It was only today, while comparing two photos, that I noticed: Little Mary is blepping every time she meows. It might be because her muzzle is a bit shorter than Bron's, who has more of ancient Egyptian cats silhouette. And perhaps that's why Little Mary snores. With her rather stocky build and tiger-like gait, she resembles our dear Richard more and more.
Spent Thursday and this morning at work. I find Thursday shifts mentally much gratifying than my hours on Mondays. It seems I prefer working with men rather than women, men don't try so hard to prove they are indispensable (even if it means they fool themselves they are, doesn't matter, their confidence makes my life easier). Anyway, enough of that for a week!
Yesterday Anne surprised us with a lovely gift for minding her cat over the past three weeks – a voucher to our favourite Japanese restaurant in Dún Dealgan. It’s incredibly generous of her, although I can’t help but feel it’s a bit excessive. Well, won't argue, too late for that, today after my work we went with Fred to Atami in Dún Dealgan, and we savoured sushi for just €29. Money well spent, and we actually used only half of the voucher. After lunch we walked to 3rd Place for a coffee and pancakes.Another good news is our independent councillor has announced we can expect a new speed ramp to be installed on the road where our Richard was killed over a year ago. The best of cats. We still miss him a lot.
I can't write anything definite about the weather, as it changes every few hours. After some improvements yesterday, the evening took a turn for the worse, leaving me feeling cold and shaky. This morning was windy and wet, early afternoon rainy, but we returned home following a lovely rainbow.
