Hello, Humans. Monday morning, cat’s back. You missed me during the week?
Tuesday is a bank holiday, so the majority of the Belgians are taking Monday off. “Ils font le pont.” Belgium is on holiday. Not even the guys who are “repairing” the pavement in front of the house are working. So it’s very calm. For sure, there was some crap done by European politicians. (Have you expected something else?) The trade contract between Europe and Canada was to be signed. At first, 2 Belgian regions were against it. And refused to authorize the Belgian government to sign. The Flemish president called that a shame. Sorry sir, kit’s not a shame it’s called democracy. But with ongoing negotiations these two regions (Wallonia and Bruxelles) were convinced to sign. The Belgian prime minister had the guts to say nothing was changed in the contract. The president of Wallonia answered quite nicely: “Do you honestly think we made all of this fuss for nothing? Sure there were changes in the contract. If not we wouldn’t have signed.” During the three days, before the official signature, there were other crappy politicians who couldn’t just shut up. Like, for instant, a commissioner from Germany. Who was kicked out of his position in Germany for being an id… and then switched to the European Commission. Claimed Wallonia is a tiny part of Europe, reigned by communists, who should just shut up. That this guy knows nothing about communication is widely known. The president of the commission couldn’t help but telling Belgium that they HAVE TO decide on their functioning of democracy. No, not them. You, Mr Juncker.
Enough with this crap.
What’s going on in my kingdom?
Some sad news, one of the guinea pigs died. Got an infection. And died quite fast. Hope he hasn’t suffered. The turtles are hibernating. In their usual place, a cardboard box in the vegetable fridge. They will stay there till next year. April or May depending on the weather. For those who are puzzled why they are in the fridge? Save place with constant temperature. Thus an uninterrupted hibernation guaranteed. They will be weighed twice during this period and that’s it.
Crappy pure-breed and myself, we are doing what we are doing all throughout the year. Getting up with the humans in the morning. Me, a short stroll. He staring out of the window. An hour later, back to bed for a second nap. Life’s good in my kingdom at the moment.
Today’s picture wasn’t, despite of last weeks hint, taken by the preferred photographer. Just a quick shot, with his phone from my human. The quality of the picture may, therefore be sub-standard.
See you next week
Take care of yourself
Yours
Ausone
