Mmm. Office Kitty has taken to using Lego left lying by children on the wooden floor outside our bedroom to wake my other half at ridiculous o'clock. Apparently at about 4am she walked on Lego, picked it up with her teeth and dropped it and made lots of Lego sounds.

It worked. My partner got up, fed her, and let her outside.

So we have evidence that our Office Kitty has evolved to using tools. Will this excite scientists as much as Veronikia the Cow using a broom to scratch herself? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/19/back-scratching-cow-veronika-bovine-intelligence

Office Kitty is the office manager so perhaps it is not surprising that she needs a set of professional tools.

My weekend job is to go around the house and pick up all the bits of Lego lying around. Five year old boy has been breaking my models to make 'rubbish' for his garbage truck. There is a lot of 'rubbish' lying around.

The cricket is too exciting for Office Kitty. We yelled in excitement during that Neser over and the cat scrammed off the couch.

When the weather is warm Office Kitty likes sleeping outside on a bed of bamboo leaves.

We have been hard at work continuing our spring clean of the kitchen.

Office Kitty is in charge of occupational health and safety - she is making sure I take my full mandatory break.

Another gorgeous day in Melbourne today! I have opened up the bifold doors to enjoy the day while applying for jobs.

Our backyard is so much emptier after the local lawn bowls club took around 60 cuttings we were nurturing in our backyard. We can now move around a lot easier.

Note the leaves on the bamboo on the fence line. It was so dry for so long that the bamboo lost nearly every leaf. It is reviving after we had a couple of good dumps of rain. It is also covered in brown flowers. I would not have been sad to lose it because it is really a weed and has spread to under our house. We did not plant it. The fact that it survived the dryness shows how difficult it is to get rid of it.
