Saturday news


Not much to report today, since I worked all day. Avinash reports that Suki had an accident in the kitchen while he was in the shower, so it looks like 4 hours without a walk is about her limit. At least the kitchen floor is easy to clean.

Ned must have indulged in a dinner of dog food last night, since there was a large pile of, uh, "recycled" dog food in the closet this morning. I obviously need to hide the dog food better after Suki refuses her dinner.


Today we had a heat wave with the temperatures reaching 15 degrees. Many people were taking the opportunity to take their cars through the car wash, as we did, now that the temps were above the sub-zero range.

Darwin has laid low all day, sitting on the blanket on the couch. Rowena seems to be adjusting to his presence - she has been using better language in the last day or so.

Last night, we watched a dvd on my computer in the office (our Philips DVD-R in the TV room is not functioning properly, only 14 months after we bought it). Darwin kept us company by sitting on my lap the entire time and emitting syrupy purrs.

Avinash says that Ned, in a testament to his Muslim faith, has decided to enter purdah. He now spends all of his time under the floor-length tablecloth covering the bedside table. He only emerges briefly, under the cover of darkness, when he is safe from encountering the great white peaceful one. (We think Darwin must surely be a Buddhist or a Jain.)

Here is a photo of Darwin helping me keep my legs warm. ;) While not particularly comfortable for me, Darwin was so happy that I couldn't move from this spot.
