We had a few nice and sunny, although too hot, days, but as ever, nice weather never lasts long here in the Netherlands! Because it already started raining last night and today it rained or drizzled most of the day.
I did have an appointment with my doctor, the GP. Two weeks ago she gave me a home blood pressure monitor and I had to measure my blood pressure twice daily and write it all down. That was fun homework! I told her my blood pressure was always way too high in a doctors office and it came out I was right, those 2 weeks at home it was much lower!
When I left though, it started drizzling and raining a bit harder on the way, but luckily the real downpour came when I was inside already. Was a real thunderstorm too!
Going home it was dry and so I passed by the supermarket. They had such a wonderful surprise there: 4 croissants or 4 kaiser rolls for €1! And the best thing was: the croissants were fresh out of the oven so nice and warm. So yeah, I had 4 croissants and I chose some nice lunchmeat too: roast beef, roast pork and grilled chicken. I still had some soup left from yesterday: 'Queens soup', that's a cream soup with carrots and peas and I added some smoked chicken breast. So that was dinner today! Soup and rolls, me and the kids used to have that on Saturdays back in the day.
Now I was gonna go to the gas station where my friend and neighbor Monique works part time but every time I wanted to go it started raining again. So, no.
Nerys is starting to become a real outside cat. Guess she has that from her mom, that's a real little slutty cat and she had at least 2 litters a year! Nerys is from the 4th litter I believe. But I had her castrated when I came back from Chicago (that's when they remove all the reproductive organs) so at least she's safe. Now with the rain she runs inside some more when I open the door. I get a soaking wet rag inside every time! I hear you say: why don't you keep her inside? Well, because she doesn't want to! She keeps meowing by the door until I open it!
I have put a nice blanket on my bed for her, the red one with the white polkadots I bought for Evan's cats Ezri and Jadzia. But at the moment the doormat seems to be good enough for her! She's waiting for it to get dry again...but I hear the rain on the roof and the windows. I love that!
Well, stay dry you all and have a nice day!
Hugz, Anna
