This sit has been lovely. The area is generally very quiet, the property is just lovely and the 2 cats – Chinta and Binnie are very interesting little characters. The owners – Sue & Chris have headed north to Burrum Heads for a little fishing and R & R.
The weather has been very hot, which has inhibited a lot of outdoor activity, but we kept ourselves busy by getting some jobs done on the car, van and himself. Especially the much delayed hearing test. Fortunately, there is only a small change in Rick’s hearing, but a new hearing aid has been ordered for his worst ear because the other one died. We got both the car & van serviced – both with mobile services who were very good and did not charge like wounded bulls!
The most entertaining job of the sit has been looking after the cats. Chinta is Siamese – when she wants something, she’s a real sweetie and very affectionate. When that need has been served (FOOD) it’s a whole different story. She is mistress of all she surveys and as the princess, what she says goes! Binnie is a big ginger cat. He was given his name when he was found as a two day old kitten, in a rubbish bin. He is very affectionate, and just loves attention. He likes to follow you around the garden, wanting to know what is going on. Unfortunately, the two cats do not get on at all. Chinta is scared of Binnie, and Binnie hates the fact that she can go in the house and he can’t. Even though he has been neutered, he still sprays everywhere and leaves a real mess.
Watching and interacting with these two has been a delight.
A little later
Sue & Chris had invited us to return at the end of March for a 10 week sit while they went to South Australia for the King George Whiting. Unfortunately, they have decided to cancel their trip and sell the house and probably also the caravan. Disappointing, because we had been looking forward to going back and had also arranged several appointments during that period. Oh well – these things happen. We will find something else to do and somewhere else to go. Possibly NSW?
