So what have you guys been up to in lockdown, Grandma?

How do you keep busy at the Home?

Well, we bought a slingshot from abroad not realizing it’s considered a dangerous weapon and it was stopped at customs

The slingshot sounds like fun, a shame they wouldn’t let you keep it.

No big deal.  We’ll make our own slingshots in crafts class.

What will you do with them?

Scare the wild parrots who eat the flowers off the tree in front of our window

It’s a problem now because in the lockdown we kind of adopted a wild cat who comes to eat every day and then leaves.   But she has to let us know when she is downstairs and needs to get in.  For a while she was calling us from outside the window, but now she climbs the tree and looks inside and meows.  When she sees us, she climbs down and goes to wait at the door.  But if we start shooting beans at the birds, she’ll get scared and fall out of the tree…

She’s an old cat. She has to watch her step. 

See?  We have to be very careful in these plague years.
