1. I sleep heavily and solidly. I wake up feeling refreshed.

2. Still in “absent humans” mode, I don’t see either Strange or Tilda all morning. Mid-afternoon, I spot Strange heading up towards the balcony and go into the garden to see her. We have a cuddle in the sunshine until I’m covered in white and ginger fur.

2b. After three short years, Strange has decided that she likes Paul. She sits on his knee and show him her belly.

3. Some of the chapattis are uneven with fat doughy edges. Yum.
