I went out there to try to take it down, since it really looks awful. But I couldn't find any wire cutters to cut it down. I guess I'll have to wait until Richard gets here and unlocks his tool box.Another thing that has changed is little Zane and his ability to hold his own against Scamper, the neighbor's cat. This evening, Scamper came wandering into the guesthouse, while Zane was on the other end of the guesthouse. I wasn't too worried, since before, they usually just sort of hissed at each other and went on their way. This time, however, Zane quickly realized that Scamper was honing in on his territory, and before I could catch either one of them, they were locked in a cat wrestling match! They're almost the same size now, and Zane was pretty ferocious. I know that it probably wasn't the wisest decision, but I went in to separate them. Here is just one part of the result.
There are a few bloody scratches on my hands, too. Alec, one of the guys who works on the compound, was doing his algebra homework in the guesthouse with Jackie at the time, and when he saw my bloodied leg, he shook his head and said, "You are suffering today". It made me chuckle. He also told me that cats are dangerous. I think I agree with him today.It also poured down rain today! I even switched OFF both of my fans today, since the rain cooled things so much.
Yeah, it was a little rainy. There's a bit of mud out there! It's still dripping quite a lot, and it's already after 9pm. The poor guards are out there all huddled in under the little overhanging porch. They were really happy to see me coming with a thermos (or a 'flask') of tea for them tonight!
