Power

Is out.  Which means we're running on generator.  And tomorrow is Sunday, which means someone will probably not be at work to fix the power anytime soon :(  So I do a quick blog now before I am plunged into the internet-less void for the next, oh, say, 24 hours or so.

Today was such a fantastic day!  Lots of fun, interspersed with some work (but work with my laptop on my lap, sitting on my verandah and sipping coffee - the best kind of work :) ).

At one point, I got a phone call from someone out in the middle of nowhere who is going to come stay with us on Monday night (a friend of a friend who needs a bed for the night).  So while I was trying to give her directions to our compound (not an easy task in a place with no street names and constantly changing landmarks!), the little kitty Winka decided she wanted to come along for a ride on my back!  So she jumped right up on my back, purring away, as happy as could be!  Of course, Sean had to take a photo:
There's been a lot of cat drama around here lately, as Zane, the self-proclaimed king of the compound is starting to get better at sharing his space with this little Winka cat, as well as our neighbors' two cats, who are being looked after by Jackie while they're away.  Seriously, there are four cats who know that their food comes from our front door.  Not a pretty site around dinner time!  I have to admit, I'm partial to my own Zane, though he's certainly not as friendly or cuddly as Winka!  But he's got his own style, and he's just such a beautiful cat.  Reminds me more and more of the Sphinx every day:
Oh, crap, someone just turned off the generator 35 minutes too early!

Gotta post!
