Small Pleasures!

      While I was out with Kaia shortly after 6 this morning it began to snow. It's snowed most of the day, reminding me of why I'm in the OFH. Since I left the OFH for The Little House last April most of my stays here have been brief. Consequently, there was an accumulation of laundry awaiting washing.

    Living in the condo downtown laundry facilities were a short walk down the hall. Three large washers and three large dryers allowed rapid washing/drying. Both The Little House and the OFH have laundry facilities, in the apartment at the OFH. This snowy day was perfect for catching up on laundry duties. While there is only one washer and dryer here they are large so laundry goes quickly. Clean laundry is one of the small pleasures of life.

   Kaia is not afraid of thunder, doesn't seem to notice it. But, the dryers spook her, especially the one in the OFH. Closing the door to the laundry room and staying in the bedroom with the door closed comforted her.

   In yesterday's blog I reported about the three cats, and later two cats at my house in Thailand. Here's another cat story, while there were still three cats. One afternoon I was using the computer at the house. There was a knock on the door and a man was admitted carrying a tool box. The family had an in-home sewing business where they did contract clothes fabrication. For this work they had three industrial size sewing machines. Therefore, I assumed the man had come to repair a sewing machine. WRONG!

   He had come to operate on the cats. Using the shelf of one of the sewing machines he spayed the cats. Yes, he used anesthesia, the cats were loopy for awhile. They quickly recovered and seemed no worse for the wear. He charged the equivalent of $1.00 per cat.


 This is the kitchen of the house. To the far left is the rice cooker which as on 24/7.
