Whirlwind Wednesday


Sei-Chan:
Things have been rather crazy around here since #1 got back. Our Aussie friends were here until morning which was great because I love, love, LOVE them! In fact, here I am having a snuggle with Mr.S:


The house has been a pretty lively place all around. Last night, we had friends over for dinner, and there was a very nice young lady, Ms.C, who was handing out a lot of cuddles.

Some for Tommy:


Bibi-Chan got an endless tummy rub!


In the midst of all this, the people seemed rather upset about something, and #1 was muttering something about how lucky we were with our litterboxes. Strange, don't you think? And then, first thing this morning, this showed up!


As Ms. S and Tommy supervised, all kinds of pipes came out and went into a hole in the ground, followed by lots of loud gurgles. #1 says there is no need to go into too many details about the workings of the septic truck... Suffice to say that all is now well and nobody is eyeing out litterboxes anymore. Phew!

I don't think the three boys had felt particularly stressed anyway...


Oh, and before I forget! Amidst all this excitement, we also heard yesterday that the insurance company of the woman who hit #1's car is going to pay for all the repairs. Hurray!

  5. I am gad they never had to resort to using your litterboxes! That is quite a strange looking machine.

    #1 better go around and count the kitties, in case the Aussie friends took one or two with them!

    Excellent news about the car.

  9. Hooray for the car!!! And you look like you were on the receiving end of many lovely cuddles and snuggles.

    I remember when I was living in Japan and my toilet would get backed up... Ah the joys of septic tanks. Hehehe... Thank goodness things are flowing smoothly there now for you!
