Mundane Monday

Monday 15th January 2024


Today was one of those days where I didn't get to take many pictures. Domestic days where laundry, vacuuming, pool cleaning and some admin took over. I know, I got so hot vacuuming, I ended up going for a swim.


My getting into the swimming pool takes ages though. I can't remember when the shift happened. As a youngster I'd be diving in straight away, none of this getting on the steps and gradually bit by bit. Once I am in, I really enjoy swimming but it's a mini drama of me getting in now.


The swim did the trick and helped cool me down. Thunder clouds appeared as I was getting ready to take Molly for an afternoon walk so I decided to stay safe and not go. Fortunately I gave her a longer walk this morning which she enjoyed. Emily, the cat seems to be a bit rattled with Thunder though and likes to be close. She's one of those strange cats that lashes out with a scratch in between purring though, so I'm still a bit wary of the beast.


Dinner went down well and after watching a chick-flick, I'm in bed wondering if we're going to be getting loadshedding again at 10pm. Such is the life in 2024 Johannesburg.
