What a busy weekend!

 

Kate, Nigel and Wendy spent the weekend here, taking loads of my junk to the Tip. I wanted a proper mini-office, a place where I would have space to spread out and do my studies. In the previous computer place, there was no space to keep a textbook open on the desk and I am struggling with my studies as it is, so struggling with holding a textbook open at the right page, look at the screen and type was jolly difficult. Now all my stationery is close to hand, I have bookshelves plus desk space for them to be open and referred to.

My cat Father Jack has taken up residence on the printer which is flat and big and easier to lie on than the screen. He won't be pleased when I want to print, but at least I'm not having to move his tail like a windscreen wiper when I need to read parts on the screen. Both my cats used to love lying on the monitor and dangling their tails directly in the line of vision, and they used to get annoyed and twitchy when I took liberties with moving them.

My Mum sent me a text message saying she was in her room in a kibbutz hotel at the Sea of Galilee and that it was 29 degrees. I hope she enjoys her time in Israel. She has always wanted to go there.
