I had a serious post to write …

But I'm too tired.

I did have a fantastic day, though. Knocked over a batch of sewing that needed to be done, ukulele date with [livejournal.com profile] pollymel (who said she never sang on a first  jam, but she did, and is good! Also good at ukulele), then knocked over a spot of writing, three loads of washing and dug out the second sock I need to finish knitting so I can post them to the UK (I always have such a sense of achievement in finishing a sock that I can have real issues with finishing two socks …).

Finally, I managed to wear out the kitten:

Sleeping kitten

His socks are a bit grotty from playing in the cat run. I'm tempted to bathe him, but I have been trying to discourage arm savaging. I wonder if the vet sells kitten wipes?

Is that a new-ish term, "to knock over"? I think I only ever knew "knock out". Whatever it's called, not sure how you manage. And what is your cat run? DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE WHEELS?!?!?! I WANT ONE!!! They can even power a small battery->lights. *cat-carpentry longing* Does it maybe make your day longer, like in that fairy tale with the rich man and the devil?

/blahblah

ETA: *checks time difference* HAPPY BIRTHDAY! May you end up as content as that kitten there.

THANK YOU, DARLING!

He has been sleeping in my lap and stopping me typing as he rolls over and I have to catch him before he falls.

And 'knock over' has been around for a long time with respect to crossing things off a list, but I can't remember which English it's from. Because I have the brains of a fish.

The cat run is, alas, not a wheel, but a fenced-off section of garden where they can play safely without marauding birds or being attacked by other cats.

Mine still do that at age ... oldish and weight of nearly five kilos. I need more hands.

I thought I knew UK and OZ English, but then there is US TV ... I guess it's more OZ then, to knock over things ...

Ah, like that elusive chicken run ... so you put a wire on top of a piece of land then I guess?

Big frames at either end of a section of garden between us and another house wall, then cat net!

I just viewed someone having done a "run" with a netty tunnel from the house to a rabbity hutch cage thing. At least you say the birds are also dangerous, but in her case I didn't understand why not cat proof the fence (for her old tired cats) /rambling
