Well, one minute you're saying it's too empty, now it's too full. But you have some great boxes to get into once someone gets cracking and empties them.
My humans have conflicting opinions about ownership and material goods. Mr B has never been around to unpack our house moves (3 together now) and had no idea how overwhelming it is to handle every item you are responsible for in a matter of days and give it a home. He slumped on the first night and invited F to throw away anything at all of his - and then he packed up and went away for a week (work). He may have forgotten that feeling already, having come back to a relatively tidy home, but ... nothing has been thrown but it has been gathered together for a review session.
Hari OM Shudder... it has been nine years, but it might have been yesterday; the boxes seemed to linger forever. But eventually... and I didn't have a supuurrrrrvisor to keep my spirits up! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
F has taken the opportunities (absence of Mr B) to apply her own logic to storage, and to minimize the amount being stored. The process is ongoing but has been moderately successful so far. Age UK are pleased with the boxes of donations received, the bookcase has gaps in it, the wardrobe is not jammers and there is a pile of ski jackets and gloves for a homeless charity that F supports in London. Furrings and purrings Mr T (i meanwhile have renewed my acquaintanceship with loft spaces inaccessible to humans. )
A week later Angela and F is coughing and sneezing, and running at the nose, Mr B has been away 5 days, back 18 hours and is gone again for the weekend, and every room (even the downstairs toilet) is a bomb site. (There are pictures stored in the downstairs toilet room as it seemed the safest place to put them .... at the time!
WOW! no more empty spaces! just think of how many boxes you can play in, just be sure you don't get shut inside a box and put out with the trash! maybe someone will build you a Box Hotel! I have to say I am glad I am not there to visit this scene with you... hope the find your cart so you can go for rides again
F did that a few years ago when reclaiming an area of a neighbouring allotment that had 'gone to the dogs'. She covered it in deep rotted stable sweepings and grew Jerusalem artichokes. They loved it.
I used to shred them too Nobby. It made great material for composting. These days I conserve my energy, but I might be convinced to tear up one or two once things settle down. Paw smacks Mr T
You do looks slightly unamused by it all....the same expression worn by Humphrey when he was returned to GBT after a few days at the cattery whilst his flighty staff cleared off down to the West Country for a few days! He's now cross about the fireworks Arilx
Tell Humphrey to just enjoy the fireworks - I like them so much F has to lock me in to stop me going off to inspect. Cattery. Not had that experience myself, but I do know all about flighty staff. A cat just can't get good staff these days. Paw smacks to Humphrey Mr T
Yeah what is it about the sneezing. We assumed it was just lots of Greek dust we brought with us, but you probably don't have any of that. Xxx Mr T and F
Hi Cathy - becoming more orderly. I had a V-E-T vist last week and a jab to stop me being sick. (Sick of the mess!) All is well now and I have been up to lots of old tricks. Xxx Mr T
It’s arrived - and to prove it - it’s here! Looks like your supervisory duties are about to begin Tigger!
ReplyDeleteI have lots to tell you about supervision Cathy. Watch this blog.

DeleteSo good to see all your stuff has arrived. It won't be that long in chaos I'm sure - a few weeks and it will all be peace and calm again :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret you are so right that it will take weeks. F already has the next move in mind and is determined it won't be like this one.....

DeleteWell it looks like all your furniture has now been delivered.
ReplyDeleteTake one room at a time and you’ll soon have it all organised

DeleteBut now you have furniture!
ReplyDeleteNow my humans have furniture. I never lacked for furniture while there were humans to sit on.

ReplyDeleteSome people came and took all the boxes away. I still have some flat cardboard that I am working on shredding. Xxx Mr T
DeleteYour owners can use the cardboard on their veg plot Tigger. I think it makes a good mulch or no dig grden if you cover it with compost.
ReplyDeleteF did that a few years ago when reclaiming an area of a neighbouring allotment that had 'gone to the dogs'. She covered it in deep rotted stable sweepings and grew Jerusalem artichokes. They loved it.
DeleteBoxes can be fun Tigger. My thing is shredding the cardboard, but I understand that some cats like to climb in and on them.
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!

DeleteHello there Tigger…how ya going…haven’t heard from you in a while….hope all is well
