cat food

 Cat noises in the morning, the cat is awake. She is hungry, or else she needs to go to her cat tray. Get up, and open the door to the passage. The cat looks and then sits down and refuses to exit.

Good, so the cat is hungry. Go back to the kitchen corner, and take a spoonful of cat foot from the small container and put it onto the cat's plate. The cat starts to feed. Since the animal has started to receive smaller portions it eats more slowly. This is not so easy to understand, but it appears to be so.

Have a breakfast, with neither milk nor butter. This complies with the dental surgeons orders.

Go upstairs and have an early shower. The bathroom is a shocking mess. It is now primarily used by the wife, there is no understanding this. But it appears to be too late to teach an old dog new tricks.

Go out and sweep the leaves away from the concrete surface of the back yard. It is unclear whether or not it looks better now. But at least it is tidier. Rearrange the empty flowerpots that have been lying around since summer. Put the leaves into a large plastic rubbish bag, Finally place a small heap of tools that has been lying on a bench since they were last used into the correct drawers of the tool cabinet. There is so much more to be done, but this is a start.

Put the brush away and return to the ground floor shop.  The cat is waiting for more food and is quite vocal about it. Read a book and take a rest. The cat is unhappily wandering about, then it settles on the sofa in the corner.

At midday go out to the meeting of the photographers and the artists and all the other self important people. They are friendly enough, they are talking politics now, there is a local election for the town mayor underway. The jazz drummer turns up, he is attempting to be the mayor. He does not have great chances.

Return home, the cat is outside the door, she is making a fuss. Let her in and give her another spoonful of cat food.
