Look at these pies!
Another week, another week with Tojo in the garden. He's a slippery little scruff. But we'll keep trying. We only have the RSPCA’s cage for another week. If we don’t catch him by then, well... he might just have to stay as the Cat That Lives In The Garden. I could get him a kennel. In the meantime, he's taken to following Alistair around when I take him out for a walk. Tojo is a tom, but he's so small (and young, I think) that he sits back and watches Alistair, all 'teach me your ways, O Great Striped One". Alistair seems unmoved by the attention.
We have met a lady who walks an old border collie called Marley down the street. Marley loves Alistair. "She always looks for the cat on the lead," said the lady yesterday, as Marley put her paws on the front fence and wagged her tail hopefully. Alistair deigned to sniff Marley's nose, then sat down and looked unimpressed.
I dug out the old journal I used to keep when I was at Old Work. I’m not good at keeping hand-written journals – or online ones, recently – but I found it helpful at a couple of particularly trying times. This time round, I’m following someone’s advice of writing down a highlight, an observation and a reflection about each work day. I doubt I’ll keep it up forever, but coming in to a new environment I’m finding it helpful. Especially as I can’t write it here.
(Speaking of Old Work, I found out recently that they have had a restructure and the LYING COW who made my life difficult for two years has been made redundant. I mean, I am loath to celebrate anyone losing her job, but... well, hello, karma. I nearly emailed Old Boss to ask if I could come back, but I think the time for that has passed.)
The reason I have been writing here less is that I am trying to cut down on screen time. Now I’m spending a working week hunched over a spreadsheet, I’m trying to do less computer-y things the rest of the time. Perhaps I will finally finish knitting that jumper I started about this time last year. Only three-quarters of a sleeve to go.
