A good night's sleep

Well, no sign of Jeb last night, and I had a good nights sleep (at last).

Morning Visitor

Jeb just turned up. I don't mind him visiting in the morning, so I let him in to play with Peggy. The school bus has just come and gone, so he probably got out via the front door. I'll let him out later.

Student Mail & Being Off-line

I just checked my Newcastle Uni student mail. Apparently they upgraded on the w/e and the new version cuts out 90% of the spam that used to clog it. It might actually be usable now.

And my receipt of Application for the scholarship was there too! Now I have to submit supporting data and so forth. I'll be OFF-LINE for the rest of the day - working on that and other Uni projects, and waiting for a call from that NMRA insurance agent (which never came yesterday).

What Jeb did next

I love the way the universe is sending me "curve balls" just after I feel at rest on an issue. After the last posting, Jeb got out again.

It was obvious that both adults were out as both cars were gone, and the son was at school. I went over and had a look at how the backyard of the house opposite was fenced. The house was on the centre of the block, there was a gate over the driveway, and a short fence on the over side. The house was raised up about a foot off the ground and there were trellis and bits of fencing along it, except for two glaringly obvious gaps - see diagram below:

I got a small piece of corrugated sheet, some bricks and a metal rod and plugged up the large gap. Then I got three bricks and plugged up the small gap. Then I gently put Jeb over the fence into the backyard and waited to see what would happen. Nothing - he didn't get out. Now neither might hold, but it's a start.

I also left a note in the front door, saying that Jeb was out again and what I'd done, and offering to help plug them properly. Maybe they'll take up my offer. Who knows. But at least Jeb isn't (for now) wandering the streets.

But to uni work... ...hopefully.
