In which her memory remains sievelike

[zeborah]

I think I'll rename Boots "Scaredy Cat". Currently she's hiding under the bed in the spare room (which appears, btw, to be where she's sleeping these days, and is incidentally a superb choice; I often put my laptop there it's so sturdy) because a truck with a skip drove by outside.

Work is involving more work at the moment. Day-to-day communications are the most disjointed ever. A bunch of us are working from home so I don't even know who's available at any given time. Am suggesting some possible fixes for this but I don't even really know yet enough of what the current situation is as to whether these are even practical.

Caught the bus(!) to my sister's in the evening and made a putiputi under her guidance. Also got updated contact details for my brother, who asked me about something I'd been meaning to do; "I'll do that right now," I said, and walked downstairs to my laptop, and promptly forgot until he came down to check on me.

Finally finished reading Pride and Prejudice! Have now started Margaret Mahy's Memory. I think I was too young when I read it last time, I couldn't get into it at all. (Too much "real life", I think.)

Should get an early night.

Silly question, but what is a putiputi?

Oooh, those are pretty! You're sounding much cheerier, which is good to hear. (and I pray that I am not a scantimonious git...) I find it very funny that Boots doesn't go tearing after the bunnies -- probably too well fed, or hasn't a clue that they might be considered food.
