Living with Monkey

Weather: freezing
Temperature: -6 - 1
Exchange rate: RMB1 = R1,40
The culprit: Monkey and the vase she knocked over...

Sometimes living with our cat Monkey is a test of patience. She is full of beans, loves chasing her sister NuNu around, loves pushing NuNu away from the food bowls and general leaving mayhem and thousands of white cat hair in her wake. This morning, shortly after the alarm went off, there was an ominous crash in the lounge. And then it all went quiet. Yes, a sure sign that somebody did something naughty. I think my favourite godson Jackson knew what he was talking about when he kept on saying "Naughty Monkey" after our little terror lived with Rebecca and Jackson for a month. 

Usually the damage isn't too extensive, but this morning "somebody" knocked over a tall vase filled with water and reeds... onto my laptop. Needless to say there was water dripping out of said laptop. Accidents happen, so I'm not too fussed about the laptop, but what I am very fussed about are all the photos and information on there. I've taken it apart as best I could and blow dried what I could. Let's hope it works when I start it up tomorrow...
