Took a ride

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  I hope you are happy and healthy.  Are you still staying inside?  I do so because it is my nature.  The lockdown was something I actually enjoyed.  But this evening I went out.  I had to get gasoline, so I went out on my motorcycle.  I also had to put air in the tires, and buy a few groceries.  just some bread and ramen.  I ate out for dinner at Ina's.  I had to sign a guest list.  The prime minister declared today that Covid-19 had been contained, so everywhere I looked people had taken off their masks.  I only wore that mask when I was in a confined area with lots of people anyway.  Logically, the virus had saturated the atmosphere months ago.  Either the humans adapted or didn't.  The ones that adapted survived.  I guess eventually the immune system adapted as well, so one can carry the virus but nothing bad happens.

Love

Hi Natty!  I love you!  My cats are in the mood to be so cute right now.  Look at the beautiful valentine they made this morning!  That's just the girls though.  Bro didn't want to get involved with such mushy stuff.  He's a macho cat.

I made some tortillas for dinner today.  It's been a while since I rolled out tortillas, pita bread is much easier to deal with.  My Dad got hooked on tortillas lately.  He calls them "wraps", because the manufacturer calls them wraps, I think the whole country calls tortillas "wraps" by now.  You can buy tortillas at the supermarket, but I prefer to just roll them out myself.  If the bread is fresh then it's good bread, even though the dough was a bit dry today.  You are probably used to the packaged stuff, and that's fine.  You can get Mission tortillas here.  I used to eat Mission tortillas all the time.  Over here they call them "wraps".



Perfume makes the best TikTok videos.  If they make TikTok videos regularly, I will post them here regularly along with the Jap kids video, even if it's only 10 seconds long.  I want more TikTok from Perfume!

What does it mean?

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  Aw don't you worry about a thing, my Precious.  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  Hey, check it out!  I caught all 4 of my cats snuggling with each other, with my crummy camera.  I thought it was a temporary thing, but today they did it again.  The kittens just need a surrogate mother, and Floofy is just a sweetheart (even though she bullies her own kittens).  I think it's Lookie who is being the idealistic one right now, and making love meows to the other cats.  Lookie is the pampered pussycat, she's never been outside, never missed a meal, the only trouble she's had in life is from her mother.  All my cats are finally getting along with each other!  For now.  Could this mean nothing but peace and love for my family?

There's certainly no peace for my dinner, that's for sure.  I had the other half of the fish head today, and I had to lock up my cats in the kitty litter room so I can eat in peace.  Sometimes they ignore what I eat, sometimes all 4 of them aggressively attack my food while I'm trying to cook it.  It can't be my cooking, it's not even my cooking today!  I bought the gravy from the corner restaurant!  But lock up the cats I had to, and I got to enjoy my fish head with all its finger-lickin' goodness in peace.

For a moment there...

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  I hope you are healthy, and enjoying your ride on the crazy carousel.  Yeah, we can't escape the crazy carousel: the only difference is whether we are aware of the ride or not.  Right now, you're riding a house instead of a painted pony!  Isn't that a cute photo?  Floofy has decided to be sweet to the kittens, and be their surrogate mother even though she has no milk to offer.  Floofy's daughter Lookie is also being nice to the kittens.  It got better.  At one point, I caught all 4 cats snuggling up together, but the light was too poor to get a snapshot with my crummy camera.  It was just a short moment though.  Floofy eventually went back to being a domineering mother, and gave her daughter a smack on the head while Lookie was dozing in the bliss of social perfection.

Yeah I know I'm late in posting today, I'm sorry.  I got caught up with my dinner.  My Mom gave me a fish head, split in 2.  Snapper!  Big fish!  Thanks, Mom!  I love fish heads.  The dining experience of fish heads is similar to BBQ beef ribs: messy, picking and sucking the meat off from the bones.  I was busy this evening, so I didn't bother making my own broth to cook the fish head.  I bought curry from Embun's restaurant at the crossroads, and cooked the fish head in that.  Then ate it with fresh home made pita bread.  Alhamdulillah!  I still have the other half of the fish head!  I think I'll have the same thing for tomorrow's dinner.  Hopefully, I won't be late to blog again.

If pink is the new black, and orange is the new pink, then is it back to black?

Hi Natty!  What's going on?  I hope you are healthy, and having fun being you.  I noticed your shuffling your Instagram around.  It's weird that there's one less post than yesterday, but you have 2 more posts.  Maybe I'm just missing something.  It's another busy day for me, another lots of driving around in the morning.  I stopped by the supermarket to pick up a carton of small portion coconut milk for my Mom.  I was tripping out at the checkout counter, watching this traditional looking old Malay woman buy Prego spaghetti fixings.

I didn't do any yard work this evening.  Oh, there are a couple of large cranes hanging around my house!  They've been here a few days already.  Big birds, not storks I think, but with heavier bills, and black and white in color, more like tall pelicans without the bag under the beak.  They seem to be very interested in the storm drain.  But that's not why I didn't do any yard work.  The real and overwhelming reason why I didn't do any yard work in the evening is because I'm a lazy butt.  I worked in the kitchen instead.  And after I started doing kitchen work, it began to rain.  So there.



I am verbose today, huh?  It's been a while since I asked you to watch a movie.  Since you are a pro now, you can certainly choose your own movies to watch.  Plus, you're a bookworm!  Lovely lady.  But if you could tear yourself away from your beloved books for a while, let's watch this movie together OK?  Legally Blonde (2001)!





Mary Unknown7 has so many black outfits, I thought she might as well wear nothing but black for a while to use them up, now there is a good reason to do so.  No, she's not a fashion designer.

Black

Hi Natty!  How are you?  Living in a Natty world?  Yeah, the world is pretty Natty.  And my Natty is so pretty.  I hope you are feeling healthy and happy, my darling.  It's been a rather busy day for me.  I took my Dad to the hospital for his checkup, early in the morning.  That took a few hours, but at least I didn't have to cook lunch.  The restaurants are finally open after the long lockdown, so I had takeout rice for lunch.  I did some burning in the evening, mostly a lot of coconuts in a closed furnace.  I finished off the spaghetti sauce for dinner, plus the rest of the eggplant I had in the cooler.  It's pretty simple: just fry up the cut eggplant until soft, stir in the leftover spaghetti sauce, then add and mix in the noodles when the sauce is hot enough.  It's the end of spaghetti for a while.  Spaghetti is fast eating though, which makes it convenient.  Time saved is also labor saved in many cases.  Don't you agree?



Mary Unknown7 has been wearing black for 3 days this week already.  This outfit has flowers!

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today?  I hope all is well with you, and you are enjoying yourself.  It's been a busy Monday for me.  I was out and about in the morning running errands, in the evening I went around the yard with a machete killing young trees.  Don't worry Honey, there's plenty more where that came from.  What are you having for dinner?  It's smart to plan for meals Natty, in fact it's a reason to live.  I had mushroom cheeseburgers for dinner.  The cats are always excited about my cooking.  I have 3 female and one male cat.  The females would risk their lives to get a taste of my food, but Bro the male cat is uninterested in snacks.  While the girls are squabbling and bouncing off the walls for a lick of pan grease, Bro just grooms himself and yawns away.  It's not that he doesn't like snacks.  But if it takes any amount of work, then the snack isn't worth it.  You go, Bro!
