Stray Cats

While I was cooking, I left the back door open. One of the stray cats was back. He came as far the door and I glared at him. He then backed away and laid down and was looking really cute. I thought to myself, I reckon all cat mums must train their cats to look cute so they can seduce humans. I took his photo.  

He then got up and gazed at me. I found myself reaching out for the dried food and putting some on the ground for him to eat.

He had some, but didn't finish all of it. He then laid in front of the door and kept watching me.

In the meantime Zeus, our resident cat, walked in. He sniffed at his bowl and decided he didn't want the food. He miaowed at me. I told him to finish his food. He ignored me and sat at the doorway. He didn't seem bothered by the stray cat. I reckon in his own way, Zeus was letting the stray cat know that this was his place and everything in this flat, including the humans, belong to him. Zeus walked away to lie in the sun.

I then heard the stray cat hissing. When I looked outside, I noticed it was stray cat 2, the cheeky one that comes through the window. Both cats don't like him. Neither do I. I told him to go away. He ran away. 

After a while stray cat 2 returned. He laid down. I thought he was looking adorable so I took his photo and returned to my cooking.

I noticed stray cat 2 was now eating the leftovers stray cat 1 had left behind.

Okay, they got me. I don't mind feeding the strays from time to time, as long as they know that Zeus is the man of the house. 😊

I give thanks for all of God's creation including stray cats.❤️

Here are some photos of the strays with Zeus.

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Bananas

Image
 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️
