An unusual co-incidence

Saturday 13.1.18

The storms from our North coast reached across Australia and hit us at the bottom corner today with heavy rain.  We have been hearing rumbling thunder since Friday night, but the weather stayed hot with insignificant showers.   I feel very relaxed now that the hay is in the shed and the accounts done, so we drove up to Woodend, near hanging rocks, today and picked up a farm cat from the vets.  He was advertised via our Face book friends’ network with uncanny timing.  He even looks like a younger fitter version of the cat we lost and they were so desperate to re-home him that he was a gift. 

I have been worried about how we would cope with out a cat. Before the last one arrived we had rats and mice in plague proportions.  All our tomatoes and pumpkins got chewed and rabbits multiplied. I was most surprised when the message about this cat came up on the computer.  It was a weird co-incidence, as I have never had this type of message before.   It will be a bit before we know if the cat is pleased with his new circumstances.   I have put him in the Donga so that he is safe and gets a chance to settle down.   Luckily Edd had a bag of kitty litter from his fungi growing capers.
