Home, home on the range ...

Yep, yep, yep ... I'm back in Clownsville.

Maab is still not talking to me (for leaving her for so long), but Merlin is all over me. Kisses and cuddles galore. He hasn't forgotten any word commands and has me laughing already ... and has me nearly retrained to be at his beck and call.

I'm pretty sure my cat carers swept the floor before I came home as I am not ankle deep in fur, but car hairs are EVERYWHERE! Fifteen weeks of unfettered cat play has coated EVERYTHING in hair. I have to wash everything in sight tomorrow.

Ah, the joys of being a cat lover ...

I had a very unwelcome "Welcome Home" present with a scrub turkey deciding to start making a nest today. In one day it has already denuded a number of garden beds of mulch and has started mounding it up at my front steps. Yep, I can't ignore it even if I want to. And so it begins ...

Just unpacking now and getting through a mountain of mail. I didn't wake up until 5pm today but have managed to get through a number of chores.

Hong Kong airport

After a very restless ten hours on a plane and am now at Hong Kong airport. Arrived at 5pm Hong Kong time and flight leaves just before midnight. I've just woken up from a nap in the lounge area as I have a nearly seven hour layover. There are quite a few quiet areas with private reclined seating for weary travellers.

One thing I didn't allow for in this journey was HK spending money at the airport here. Don't really want to cash out $10 so will wait for the flight to fill up on food and wine.

Throughout the airport there is free wifi, so just doing a bit of surfing before I head to the departure gate and read for a while.
