A very relaxing week 😁

Good morning folks on this wonderful Easter Monday, I trust you have all had a good weekend and were able to take the opportunity to relax and refuel. Yesterday aside the weather has been mild with some really cool days and even rain, whilst he nights have become much cooler and it is actually a pleasure to go to bed and snuggle down. Well ......... last week took a radical turn from what we planned, in my last Blog I mentioned that Jelly Bean and Princess were going to house and kitty sit for the Bears. 🤣🤣 That didn't happen because at the last minute Jelly Bean was not well and Princess was flying up, country half way though the week. On Monday I eventually took myself off to Physio because my one hip has been sore for weeks, apparently I have injured the Bursa 🤷🏻‍♀️. After the Physio I said that I would go and my very dear Hubby made the decision that he would going go and house sit. It was quite weird knowing he was just on the other side of 'town' and not coming home but, in the long run it worked very well and gave him a much needed, forced, overdue break from the day to day routine. Because Gandalf, their eldest kitty is newly diagnosed as diabetic he needs to have insulin injections twice daily as well as someone there to top up his water supply as he still drinks a lot of water. A very good friend of the Bears kindly went around before and after work to help Hubby with the injecting and it really did need two people. I cannot ever imagine Jasper letting us near him with an injection, we can't even get Flea solution on him without trapping him and then that ends in one of us bleeding. So Hubby dearest was away from Tuesday through to Friday, and their friend took over for the weekend. Jelly Bean and I held down the fort here with our own menagerie. Most of you will be glad to know that I took the opportunity to take a break as well and, apart from one day of cooking and baking the two of us relaxed and read a lot. I also handed over clocks that were ready for collection and a lady came to collect a carpet that we had sold her. This proved to provide the required entertainment for the week - it was raining and quite cool when she arrived and after a somewhat lengthy discussion as to whether the carpet would fit into her vehicle, I made the decision and said it would definitely fit. By this time I was quite wet and my hair quickly starting to curl, we maneuvered the rolled up 3m carpet in through the back hatch and I eased it up against the windscreen. As I walked onto the deck to replace the black plastic bags and masking tape that she was convinced we would need this lady came running up with a fizzing can of cold drink. It had been in a holder on the dashboard and when I walked away, she pushed the carpet towards the door. It squished the can which then split, sending fizzy drink sizzling out. She only wanted me to tape the tin to save the cold drink which I did and we then had to mop up all the spilt drink. By the time she left I was pretty much soaked and my straight hair was back to its normal BB curls. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂🤣. What would a week be without some humor ? Suffice to say we were all very happy when Hubster pulled in on Friday afternoon and things were more back to normal. On Saturday Poppet drove through and we went to lunch in Kleinmond, not actually thinking about exactly how busy it was going to be ....... my goodness, but so good to see everyone out and supporting local businesses. Charlie came with and was so well behaved, he always manages to cause somewhat of a stir and has people putting on soft doggy voices. The restaurant owner even brought him a double bowl of water and doggy kibble hehe. The Bears arrived back home yesterday after what I hope was a wonderful weekend in Natal, Princess is still away and the rest of us are enjoying the extra day of weekend. Well folks as I said, it was a quiet week with lots of resting, reading and tea 😁. I have a few things on the cards for this week, but will share all that with you next week. I wish each and everyone of you a wonderful week, it is a short one so I pray it goes smoothly and without any hitches. Please stay safe and well wherever you are Ciao Ciao. Beautiful view of the ocean.
