Today Alex (the bubby) and I arrived back in Munich – at about 4.30pm.
The last few days were good, yet exhausting. Alex and I had to babysit his niece Jana, who is six years old. But not only did we have to babysit her, but also three cats, one dog, two guinea pigs and two mice.
Alex and I both came to the conclusion that we don’t want any pets. He went out with the dog in the morning, I took care of the household. Jana was in school. At noon-time Alex and I made lunch. In the afternoon we went out with the dog. At 6.00 pm we made dinner, at 7.00 pm Jana went to bed, at about 10.00 pm Alex went out with the dog again.
The cats were annoying. As soon as I went into the kitchen, three cats were sitting behind me. They are house cats, so they are there – all the time. And it’s not a big apartment. And hair… ALL over. I had to vacuum the apartment about three times a day. I didn’t mind, but argh – annoying. Especially if you’re not used to cats. And dogs. And other small pets.
Alex and I got along well in our little family. Tough. And adventuresome.
