Remembrance Sunday and recovering kitten

Today is Remembrance Sunday which always makes me think of my grandfather who fought in the trenches.

Toby phoned, having had a relaxing weekend with Joan and Dick, but Romy had to go to work for a few hours, despite recovering from a stomach bug.

Mas and I had an uneventful weekend, but the kitten with no name began to feel much better and spent lots of time playing with home made toys, and in between, having long cat naps and washing sessions.

Obsessive compulsive kitchen cleaning

We had breakfast as usual, and as usual I washed the dishes and generally tidied up. I do not know if the chemo is having a strange side effect on me; I now take enormous pleasure from washing up, and each cup and dish gets polished and put away with loving care in exactly the right place, and I have to force myself to stop cleaning and polishing. This is rather strange from someone who used to agree with Scarlet O'Hara's motto of "I will worry about that tomorrow." I am wondering how far this will go, will I creep down in the night to polish up a few more cups before long?

Eventually I tore myself from the kitchen and walked down to Edgware, taking a letter to the surgery en route. It was sunny and hot, and I went to the Broadwalk to get a Radio Times as well before coming home on the bus.

Later, managing to steer clear of the kitchen I did a bit of pruning in the garden, and Mas did some gardening too. We watched a couple of Frasiers before turning into bed.
