Namo (cat) is always ready to jump Vaire (cat, too, of course I´d never write that disrespectful about Valar), but it´s worse at the beginning of spring, and I often threaten him with having him neutered a second time, which is technically impossible and yet is top on Vaire´s wish list. Knocked down glasses and plants, sofa cushions on the floor, lots of cat hair after the fighting...Namo knows how to get on my bad side. No matter what I tell him, Namo is not impressed. Today he tried to tup Vaire from the top of the cat tree, while she was demolishing her food. Chaos ensued, because I was about to take a bath and had closed the bathroom door. Vaire fought back with teeth and claws, and I...I seized Namo by the neck and cast him into the bathtub full of water. Haven´t seen that lovelorn cat since then, because after getting out of the tub he buzzed off at lightning speed, to lick his figurative wounds. Injured pride, oh my! Cost me one fill of the tube and a scrubbing, because unfortunately Namo did a dump in the water from panic, and yet it serves that cat right.

Son number four had a day off and did the cooking today. Never before have I seen someone breading four pounds of chicken schnitzel (his friends will come for diner, too) by the use of the left hand only. I surely must do the breading wrong using both hands, because he had to clean one hand only, though it had the size of a tennis racket (minus the handle) at the end. Hubby is clearing the drain of our kitchen sink right now, because the washed off excess of schnitzel coating has blocked it, and I had better go and plant the last of the pansies, because tomorrow we´ll once again get what we did not get during winter: snow of course. Now who doesn´t love snow in spring! Good thing is that snow might cleanse away the pollen, and my sneezing will stop, at least for a day or two!
