Yesterdays problem with the electrics in my sons bedroom turned out to be worse than we thought and we were really very lucky to be at home at the time. When we attempted to fit a new part we discovered that the entire holder was burned out,I decided to call in the electrician and it seems that the cable was burned through up to and beyond the ceiling rose.....scary stuff!
He fixed it of course .but what worries me is the fact that the fuse box did not trip out,that is a real worry so it seems we shall need another visit from the electrician to check things out.
We all overslept this morning and the meat delivery arrived while I was still in my nighty. Once it was packed away we had a breakfast of bacon rolls and then I did all the prep for tonights meal of guinea fowl with all the trimmings,Twiggy was delighted as guinea fowl is her absolute favourite meat.
Much less to her liking is the fact that a very pretty little stray cat has moved in to our garden shed. At first we were not sure that it was a stray and for several days we did not offer food,then we observed it eating the bread put out for the birds and it almost broke my heart to see the poor little mite eating meal worms and suet.
Pa gave it two sachets of cat food which it wolfed down and then some crunchies which again vanished very quickly. Twiggy is very territorial and howled around the back gate swearing a vengeance upon all concerned.
Twiggy has ruled the roost here for some time but today I was obliged to remind her who the real Alpha female is around here. The stray cat is a female and so pretty, I am not going to rush things for the sake of Twiggy's pride so I have installed a very warm and comfy box in the shed and will continue to feed the newcomer until Madam gets off her high horse. This is not the first time we have had this situation and it will probably not be the last, Twiggy will come around in time,they always do.
In the mean time we will make even more fuss than usual of our lovely Twigs lest she become jealous,perish the thought.
