Sunshine!

You would not think that someone with effectively nothing to do could be so busy - but I am easily distracted so find pleasure in even the smallest things. I can watch the snow for hours – for example. Which is just as well because that’s about all we get around here – not that I am complaining – but…..

Or – when I get really desperate – I can rub two cats to get warm. And yes I could get the air conditioning fixed – ESB could come and do this – but then it would be stuffed for Summer when we really need it – and I just know the cold weather cannot last too much longer.

There is in fact not a lot to do when Cate is way because when I am not looking after her – there are only the cats and they don’t really need much attention – although I do talk to them quite a bit.

There is breakfast – lunch for Sissi (yes she has lunch) and dinner for Monika (Sissi does not eat dinner and Monika does not eat lunch).

I don’t remember how the lunch routine started with Sissi but I was probably making something with mince and she always wants whatever I am preparing (She will eat almost anything and her very favorite is Parmesan cheese).

And ever since then she has demanded a little bit of fresh mince every day – which is OK because I am sure it keeps her healthy - and she is certainly glossy and sleek and seems to be fairly well adjusted.

But with one thing and another – mainly another – I have been really too busy to blog - and to read blogs. So today I am catching up.

And the sun is finally shining – even though it has been snowing this morning - so soon the Austrians will emerge shouting excitedly in the streets and start preparing for Spring.
