1.3.2026 Sunday - a kindness

She reminds me of Ellie (whom Sam calls Ellie Bellie) so if she had decided to stay with us, I was going to call her Bella. She seems sprightly and friendly despite being cautious and keeping a steady radius while assessing me. I sit down by the bin, and give Sam a fright when she looked out the window. She thought I had fainted on the road, but no - I am just going out for a walk when Bella distracts me. Sam puts out some food for her, and will try to entice her into our garden.

Yvonne buys us lunch at Wonderboom, we have never been - it has nice food and very pretty. Our lunches with these two are always full of laughter; at ourselves, about our mutual friends, but all with kindness. I have time for them, there are two more of Sam's cicaks; Yasmin and Ileana. It is getting harder to get all 4 in one place at one time - much like playing Sudoku

 

28.2.2026 Saturday - Sam likes pickleball

 

27.2.2026 Friday - a long walk in Kampong Baru

My quick walk took longer this morning, through Kampung Baru, and back to the apartment in a roundabout way. Along the way, I met traffic (both foot and vehicular) - I'm glad that we don't live and work in KL.

I treat Sam to a latte and do a bit of work before heading to Yut Kee for brunch; tasty but expensive. I think we both have had enough of the city, as we make our way to the airport. We treat the trip as a little reward for ourselves, and a lunar new year celebration with the relatives.
