One of our nieces emailed me last night. We house-sat for them last year, looking after two cats and some guinea pigs. Among other news was that the male guinea pig had escaped from the ‘monastery’ and had been living in the...

New kitchenware for the chef

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Apr

The photo shows a set of kitchenware that we purchased while we were house-sitting. We went into a big shopping mall just to see what stores were there. They seemed to have at least two of every sort of shop. We spotted a store...

Other people's houses

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 17 Apr

An interesting thing about house-sitting is seeing how others decorate their homes. The house we’ve just left has this cow-hide rug on the floor. They don’t really appeal to me. Many moons ago, my father tanned some sheepskin...

A cute playhouse

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 16 Apr

We are house-sitting for a nephew. The couple have two children and now two grandchildren. It’s very obvious that the little girls stay with Grandma and Grandpa quite often as they have their own room here and there are a lot of...

A face on a tree

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Apr

The photo was taken by Vince and shows a face on a tree. We walk the dog each day along a walkway which runs between a number of houses and a creek. Each day we find more and more things at which to marvel. (See what I did there,...

Emus in a garden

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Apr

This is a second post about emus. These inconic Australian birds seem to be a favourite with sculptors and craftspeople. I must have a dozen photos of various emu figures. We took Jensen for another walk this morning. At the...

Emus on the wall

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 11 Apr

We are house-sitting at our nephew’s place. It is relatively new and spotless. I enjoy seeing how other people’s houses and how they’ve designed the space. There are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, large garage and...

Let me introduce you to Jensen

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Apr

We have now moved into our nephew’s home for ten days. It’s a lovely house and it will be like a holiday for us. Basically, the one and only job is to look after Jensen, the greyhound. Isn’t he handsome? We’ve already made friends...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 8 Apr

Tomorrow, we leave for Milbridge near Bunbury to house-sit for our nephew for ten days. I think our main task will be to look after a retired greyhound. I can’t remember his name at the moment but I’ll have photos of him very...

Cat Sitting Again, Day 01.

Tammy @tammys85 (31417) • Baltimore, Maryland 31 Jul

Hey there, everyone. I’m at my friends’ house now. They left a few hours ago, and I figured I’d hop on MyLot for a few minutes. Earlier today, I walked to the coffee shop for a bit. My niece was working, and I wanted a Hawaiian...

I’m Cat Sitting Again in August.

Tammy @tammys85 (31417) • Baltimore, Maryland 30 Jun

Woo-hoo! I’m cat sitting again in August. I didn’t wanna say anything until it was confirmed. The same cat, same family (one of my good friends of like, 20-21 years, her husband, and their son). She wrote me a few weeks ago and...

Dominic and Finbar are happy cats now

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Jun 25

Our niece sent us this photo of the cats we looked after while they were away. The tuxedo is Dominic and the grey-and-white is Finbar. You can see how relaxed and happy the cats are now that we’ve gone and their own humans have...

At last, a photo of Dominic

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Jun 25

We arrived home from our house-sit just a few hours ago. I’m going to make some biscuits (cookies) soon but thought I’d put up a post first. The photo shows Dominic, one of the two cats we were in charge of, if you can call it...

The eyes have it

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 2 Jun 25

Now that we’re about to leave our house-sit where one of our duties is to look after six guinea pigs, I decided to do a bit more reading about them. I was left detailed instructions and did read more what they could and couldn’t...

I might make some marmalade

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 29 May 25

There is a big orange tree in the backyard of our current house-sit. It is loaded with big juicy oranges and my BIL suggested I make some marmalade. This isn’t my favourite conserve but Vince likes it. Also, I have lots of small...

The back yard of our house-sit

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 27 May 25

The photo shows part of the backyard of my niece’s place in a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. If you look carefully, you might be able to see two kookaburras on the back fence. There were three there but by the time I got my...

We brought our motor-home up to our niece’s place when we can to house-sit. We thought we might get away for a couple of nights so this morning we’re heading north maybe to Lake Indoon which is nice place to camp. My BIL will come...

This shirt has had to go in the bin

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 18 May 25

The photo is an old one but it’s the only one I can find where I am wearing this particular shirt. I’ve had this for many years and it used to have a skirt that matched. It’s become the shirt I wear for handyman/woman/person jobs...

We've finished the balustrading

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382325) • Rockingham, Australia 18 May 25

I’ve written about doing some repairs on the balustrading at our niece’s place. We are house-sitting there and thought it would be nice to fix the balustrading before they got back. We’ve finished now apart from a coat of paint...
