My Day Today.



 

My Day Today.


 My Day Today. 

.........................

My Dear Rajesh 

I  am definitely  late in updating you. 

For one thing on 2 nd. January  2021 I entered 74 th year of existence.  

73vyears old and tiday it is 09.01.2021. 

I have not wished you A Very Happy New Year  wherever you are now. 

Also though nothing special was done for birthday other than wearing a new linen sari( linen as a clothing material has come back) which was actually bought 2019 November or so,  I wore it on 2nd. Went to Ranjini ' s home for lunch. 


I will download me in that sari  for you after I write this .

India won the second test match against Australia.  Now the 3 rd.test is going on. 

Did I tell you about Ranjini ' s cat Ollie? No ,I  think. 

About 10 months back story cat delivered 2 kittens in Ranjini ' s car garage. Ranjini started feeding the mother some food and though the cat belonged to the opposite site watchman , the cat shifted residence permanently to Ranjini ' s garage. Just like you who also had a cat( remember our shifting the kittens it bred and our time trying to maje them go away. 

But now a days, the animal protection groups are rather stringent  and  once you start having a pet it is hard to abandon it. 

So these two kittens were given the name BQ as the shirt fit Bandud Queen( she was very tom boyish) and this cat which Ranjini thought was a make kitten, called nothing at all but simply addressed as BK( Boy King). The two kittens were really lovely. 

The mother cat again laid 4 kittens and Ranjini witnessed the delivery but unlike other cats the mother held on to all 6 kids send LO!!!! as the kittens( new ones are likely to be attacked mother was shooing her earlier 2 kids. Ranjini could not bear the pressure and she joined the Cat lovers group etc and managed to arrange for the mother and the 4 new kittens  transfer to an animal shelter with Rs.10000/ as money for the arrangement. She was very upset too. 

Again 2 kittens and mo time as breeding pets too are a costly thing with vaccinations, de worming  and as it is the pandemic times too many dogs in the neighborhood.  

So again through the watchman ' s son helping the very pretty BQ was given after vaccination and de worming, litter training etc to someone away in Kolar. Ranjini really got upset at the way the beautyful BQ need be sent off  boxed etc. and afterwards the pitiful clues of the BK who bybthen was named Ollie. 

Ollie us taken fir vaccination and de worming  to the Vet .and he said it us a girl cat. But the name stayed.  So Ollie she is and is totally in Ranjini ' s heart. She is neutered as otherwise she  also will be producing litters by the dozen.  

So the story continues. 

Missing you my son,

Affly,

Amma.
