We put Bluey downstairs while we went shopping and for lunch at Pacific Fair. He was waiting for us at the front door, having destroyed my latest effort to keep him from passing through Tilly’s cat door in the baby gate. This is the only thing he has ever deliberately destroyed.
Plan C is to cut a cat-sized hole in scrap 6mm acrylic sheeting, which I will screw to the gate. That job just became a priority.
First up this morning we tidied our front garden beds, planted some seedlings, and removed the last of the weeds. It soon became too warm to work outside, so spreading the mulch will have to wait for another day. We forgot to shut the gate to the cat enclosure, so Tilly was waiting for us at the front gate after our lunch outing.
Our shopping expedition was a waste of time. I was looking for new T-shirts in Uniqlo and Connor, but I didn’t like any in the stores. During lunch, I ordered two Connor T-shirts online that were not available in the store. We had lunch at Modo Mio Cafe Cucina Bar, managing to get a table without a booking on Valentine’s Day. The red emperor in lemon butter sauce was delicious.
It was a very low tide at 5pm when I took Bluey to the park. A large dog, possibly a Belgian Shepherd, was running full speed in the water following the rivershore, from one end of the beach to the other. A spaniel started running back and forth with the big dog, then Bluey joined in the game, but he stayed out of the water, and avoided being run over.
