The Traveling Kiwi

It’s hard to sit down and write as I feel like I haven’t been doing anything interesting at all and my photos are just mushrooms and moths. We have finally had a few days of good weather and I have my fingers crossed we get enough for the tomato’s to actually ripen. It’s been wet as for way too long. My garden is full of spuds and carrots just in case it’s stays wet and the new potatoes have been with every meal for the last few weeks, it’s not going to take long to completely use all that I have planted so I am backfilling with more spuds as I dig them up so I won’t run out. Must be the Irish in me, completely addicted to home grown new potatoes.

I have been invaded by the neighbours small black cat. I am sure she plotted the whole takeover in her devious little brain for weeks before implementing it. The neighbour got two black cats at the same time but one just hasn’t grown and is still kitten sized. I noticed she would sleep under our hedge and sometime come out and rub around my ankles. Then she started racing out to greet me every time I got out of the car. Then it was climbing up me to have a cuddle, then she would sit in my arms and purr as she nibbled my ear ( what cat does that!) I let her inside as it was raining and now she sleeps on my bed all day and in my lap the rest of the time, in between scrapping with her big sister cat who also thinks she is welcome here. As I am vacuuming black cat hair off the bed cover I realise it’s too late, her takeover plan has worked and I am now officially a cat person. I call her Nibblet as she will also just sit on my lap and nibble my thumb like she is suckling -it’s pretty adorable. I don’t feed her as she is my neighbours cat 🐈‍⬛ but I am going to have to go over and confess she has catnapped me.

Zebo is terrorising me again and the last lot of drugs were worse than the problem and trigger a bit of a reaction so I am not happy and not really feeling the whole cooking drinking socialising thing, so it’s going to be a very quiet Christmas, there may be some mushroom hunting involved as the blues should just be starting to come up. Apart from that I will be heading back to Christchurch Jan 17th to spend a bit of time with mum who turns 90 on 20th and Yifei ( her great grandchild) who turns 8 on 25th

Wishing all my intertwingled friends who read this a very merry Christmas 🎄 and every happiness for 2024.
