Nov 25 Frog

Same old. Cats fed and watered. Water for coffee is on the boil. Dry cough is getting worse. I speak out loud in frog fashion. Last night I saw what my cats did to my plant room. Every pot emptied on the floor. Today I will try to get the hardware cloth I bought weeks…

Nov 16 In Space

I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact. Elon Musk I went into the village, picked up 3 big bottles of water and the part of my catfood order that had arrived. The original plan was to go to town to pickup some human food. Funds were low and cats came first….


Nov 15 Cold Feet

Days away from the cold now. Diesel heater no closer to being installed. Chimney not repaired. No panic yet but coming. Friday the temp will be plus six. A late trip up to the roof might be possible. Maybe even the last of the wood could be gathered in the driveway. I doubt it, breathing…
