Tuesday May 31, 2022

The heavy rain last night did not negate our nice quiet walk this morning.  Still no calf, and very little activity that early in the morning.

The weather prediction is a perfect 26-27C with occasional rain or thundershowers.  It can't get much better than that for me.

The runt puppy is slow-moving and weak so we are hand-feeding and medicating her.  The other puppies swarm her and sleep on top of her until she cries.  So I picked her up and let her sleep above my heart for an hour in the morning and more in the afternoon.  She is with me now as I write this, looking at me through weep eyes....  That just tugs at my heartstrings.

I was at the Notary's office at 8am to get his stamp on a Power-Of-Attorney for my Pereira rep, Luz Dary.  Then I had to take this to ServiEntrega delivery service to get it to her within a week.  Total cost, just over $5 USD.

On the way back, I spotted injection activity outside the hospital so I enquired if a 4th injection was happening.  They looked at my paperwork and, even without a valid Visa at the moment, they said I was elegible so I stayed and got a Pfizer injection...  Now I have 2 Sinovac, 1 Moderna and 1 Pfizer.  Soon I will have one of every kind...  Covid is not something I want to catch even if I am probably healthy enough to withstand it.  I have way too many family members on watch at the moment, self-isolating just in case.

Cristina had some shoes for repair so we went to the usual shoemaker 3 blocks away.  I was parked in front and they have beautiful flowering bushes out front with amazing insect activity, even bees and butterflies.  I got a few decent shots for you.

We made a cemetery visit to re-arrange flowers and our 3 co-pilots (Turi, Princesa and NeNe) were happy to run around free someplace different.

All this was before lunch and I couldn't see anything close by for decent take-out so I came home and made us bacon cheeseburgers, heavy on the bacon!  

Then it is poop and garbage patrol before a well-deserved nap.

My DNA sample is apparently being processed as we speak so we should soon have some interesting results.  I am not quite sure what to expect.

I am watching a goofy French spy service comedy with English subtitles on NetFlix but it is amazing how my mind is picking up that language again.

I am getting a trifle bored with NetFlix and should get on track to download some good old movies...

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.

The rain at 4:30am cancelled our walk.  I didn't sleep all that well, so the break was welcomed.  And today is another holiday, so it would have been quiet.

The elections yesterday result in a former guerilla leftist, Petro, with 40% going to a run-off against a rightist independent with 28%, Hernandez.  Read this:

All of Cristina's family were for Petro, but after reading the independent article above, I would be solidly for Hernandez.  Colombia would rebel against Petro the minute he raised their taxes....

The puppies are pee and poop merchants and the cleanup never stops.  But they are delightfully puppies and impossible to scold, only to hug.  I made another set of videos this morning for you:


Cristina went to help niece Ana find some blouses at reasonable prices.  I have to give Cristina credit on that score, she does not overpay for clothes.

I cleaned and refilled the feeders for Tom Thumb.  I actually took 37 photos this afternoon but only kept 3 of them...

I hope you enjoy the pictures.  That was the day’s excitement.
