Who me?
I have been working in the garden since morning. The kind of work which is not exactly suited to me, vis -à-vis putting a fence on the upper wall of the periphery of the house to keep from stray outside cats from entering inside the garden through the footpath.

This idea, although simple was fraught with so many unfathomable difficulties, which someone like me, of a more gentler disposition is unable to cope up with.
There was a lot of manual labour involved, and although I'm not one to shy from that, this labour was a bit intensive.
There was a boundary of trees with jutting branches that had to be broken off in order to stick that fence and there was a lot of loose earth piled in mounds that one had to navigate and conquer.
Add to the equation a myriad of insects, mosquitoes and oppressive heat.
I will put up pictures of that damned fence when I go out to click it, but suffice to say it took out a lot of me.

After this debacle, shower was the only solution and lunch after in a restaurant.

I had woken up early since the housekeeper had come at 7 and although I slept more than 6 hours my body demanded more sleep, but then I put it through this wringer of labour today.
After lunch I immediately headed upstairs to my room.
Washed my hands, stripped, and found myself under a blanket with the air conditioning on blast and slept for 2 hours.
Yes indeed my lord, I slept this afternoon.

Now I'm awake.
Fed the cats.
Medicated Gogi.
Cleaned litter.
Now for some coffee.
