Reta is on her way home. To the neighbouring land with more water and to a house full of cats.

(Oh what a trip!)

I am still learning from the plight of my visitors that I live very far away from the city. Still, I do hope she found pockets of rest along the way. I think she did good: leaving with an extra bag of shopping, full knowledge of my cable tv and three nights with the makeshift mattresses.

I think one does loads of walking while you’re in this country. I was most amused by the way she looked as if she was backpacking through Singapore. How wonderful. (I hope your bus ride was a pleasant one!)

I have also been eating a lot, amongst other things

(Apparently the gym membership is not helping. Thank you Ruth + LY)

I heart impromptu meals and shopping for cheap toiletries. What a pleasant reprieve from the day. (!!)
