I aten't dead

[anna_wing]

Friends who know me in real life, thank you very much for your concern and good wishes, for which I am glad and grateful. I am alive and well, at least so far. Things could be worse.

My housekeeper is away on holiday, and my (now) four cats are extremely unhappy about the sudden drop in service standards. However they now have free, make-your-own-fun feline psychodrama to entertain them instead, as Three-legged Cat (TLC for short) has graduated from the poolside gym to the dining-room (since housekeeper is not around to cook for guests I will not be using it). The maintenance people at the office have built me a lovely bamboo and chicken wire screen with which to block the doorway, so that he can see and be seen (and smell and be smelled) while not being allowed to be in direct contact with the original incumbents. I don't intend to go further than that until Housekeeper is back.

I was hoping to use this time to lose those last seven kilos that will get me down to a mice spot in the middle of my BMI range, but so far, people have been giving me food as if they fear I will starve otherwise. Which is also very sweet and kind, and it is furthermore fabulously excellent home-cooking, but does make the plan that much harder to implement...

Not sure where you live, but if anywhere in range of that terrible quake, I'm glad you're okay.

Congratulations to TLC on his promotion to the dining-room, and hurray for not being dead!

Thanks! He's moving up the ranks !. Now he's let out to wander around downstairs while the others have their post-breakfast constitutional in the garden. I think he's going to be perfectly happy being a house and maybe garden cat.

And when Bus-stop Cat encountered him in the living-room (at opposite ends) they exchanged the cold stare and the raised eyebrow, but there was no hissing. Alas, Lap-cat was a lot less tolerant, but unlike Bus-stop Cat, was willing to get close enough to exchange hisses and claw-swipes...

Thank you for letting us know how things are, certainly welcome.

Ah, of course--the earthquake. I'm very glad you're all right.

Thanks! No-one was expecting it to have an effect all the way from Mandalay to Bangkok to be sure.
