saturday – nz

hey, guess what.  Pearl’s back.  she wasn’t due back until tuesday but i decided to get her a bit earlier so she can start at doggy daycare earlier than if she came back on tuesday (they have a week’s stand down after being in the kennels for some reason)

i ended up staying up very late last night doing ironing and watching TV.  the results of my ironing weren’t great to be honest.

and i woke up in the night convinced i was in an earthquake with proper bed wobbling and everything, but there’s no indications on geonet that anything happened (although it was the same time as one of the many Seddon earthquakes).  this morning i got on with some chores including cleaning the guinea pigs cage

my computer made a really weird noise this morning which involved a couple of trips to the computer shop where they put my graphics card on a test jig to see if it really was broken.  it was nearly broken but then this evening it became actually broken. i failed to sort out some other computer things too.

pearl was pleased to be home.  she spent a while scratching her back in the garden on the short grass

then she slept like a dog in the sun

and a bit later we went for a walk round the graveyard which was very successful considering that the two of us have only been for a walk together only once before (and that was such a disaster i vowed never to do it again).  sloppy poo.  i shall say no more.

we had a good chat whilst walking round the cemetery.  so much has happened in the couple of weeks she’s been away.  i told her all my news, but she was typically silent about her activities.

it’s definitely pearl i bought back.  when she went in to the garden i could hear her digging in some stones.  she popped out a few moments later with a tasty bone!

then this evening bruce phoned up and asked if i could transport him to his car which was left in a different bit of town, so that was a nice little drive and chat.
