Yee ha! Another weekend is upon us (well, those of us in a similar time zone to me :) ).

I’m pretty pleased with my hosting company at the moment because my account has been significantly upgraded, at no extra cost! So I now have three times the bandwidth, and over three times the storage space, as well an extra domain, IP address and database for the same price. I don’t know how I’m ever going to fill 5 GB, but I’ll do my best. If you’re thinking of getting a domain, or switching hosts, I highly recommend them.

Tomorrow my uncle and his wife are moving overseas. Or, should I say, moving elsewhere overseas. They’re only in Australia on their way through from Taiwan, because if they come through Australia it’s easier to get their cat, Cookie, back with them. Some quarantine laws or other. I think they have the most well-travelled cat ever; his passport, if he had one, would certainly make far more interesting reading than mine. Cookie has to stay in Australia for 6 months, and then he can go over to them. So my mum has a new son for the next 6 months.

Unfortunately it sounds like it’s going to be a mixed blessing - apparently Cookie throws up a lot when he eats wet food (I’d say the obvious move there would be not to give him wet food, but that doesn’t seem to be an option), so my uncle and his wife have started heating it before they give it to him, which seems to help. Ummm… ok. There’s no way I’d put cat food in my microwave or oven - how gross. I don’t think my mum is going to, either, but given the option of heating wet food or cleaning up cat vomit… hmmm. Tough call. I’d just give him dry food and be done with it. My mum told me that she’s just going to say yes to whatever they say, and then do what she wants. Sounds like a plan to me.

Anyway, M and I are going to help take their luggage to the airport, so we’ll have to get up at 9:00. In the morning. On a Saturday. Sigh. I tell myself that even if we go to bed at midnight, that will still be 9 hours’ sleep, but even so, 9am is early for the weekend! Weekends are made for lounging around at home in your pyjamas all day, not sitting in an international airport for two hours before boarding. Curse you, international flight rules!
