Snippets |
Our universal learning remote became defective. So a new one was ordered. Of course, now all the remotes must be programmed into the new one. Right now, there are no less than 11 remote controls scattered across the coffee table.
Entering the lounge to watch TV yesterday, Ata had to play a guessing game. Batteries were out of the old remote but new remote programming was only just begun, so to turn on the TV - and get sound - involves trying to remember which remote goes with which device. After a few moments confusion, Ata has a flash of inspiration. Of course, the brand name of every device is printed on it's corresponding remote! Hooray! Let's see... Topfield, that's easy. The decoder is Marantz, now there's just the TV itself... Panasonic! That's it! There we go. Now Ata can enjoy Pink's "Stupid Girls" clip.
Tonight we had tacos for tea. Ata did not feel like doing all the vegetable chopping, so she commandeered Mr Ata's services. He dutifully began washing vegies. Ata began grating cheese.
"Hey!" said Mr Ata. "You haven't washed the cheese!"
"Ha, hah." says Ata.
"But you don't know if the cow's bum was clean when it laid that cheese!" persists Mr Ata.
I swear, I married a clown.
The cats have a new food bowl. It was taped to the front of a packet of cat food, and appears to be highly scientifically designed. At least, it has a complicated looking diagram on a sticker. I put it out next to their current food bowl.
Roswell didn't like it.
She kept approaching it carefully, tapping the base with her paw, before giving it a wide berth to eat from her usual bowl. Roswell is the suspicious type.
Of course, eventually the food in the old bowl ran out. Then Ros began to feel differently about the new bowl. |

Cats are so funny and suspicious.
When I bought a water fountain for mine, they spent day staring at it for long periods of time, fascinated.
Actually, so did I :)

So I lied.
It wasn't just about the cats!
