    Evening all! Hope you’re all well and had a good week – will try to catch up in a bit… Well I’ve enjoyed my first week back flying and the flat is looking a lot better… Friday night is laundry night in the mad cat world, so I’ve had the WM on all night. Lots to do over the W/E, but at least the flat’s not a complete tip! I also need to hoover the rugs as I didn’t do that during the week – just swept the floor…

    I have heaps to do today.. mostly before lunch and the arrival of my visitors!

    I slept really badly last night.. and I woke up really thirsty this mornin but I have no milkand the shop doesn't open until half 8 so i'll have to wait.

    Tiddles just came in my room and asked if she was seeing daddy today and why doesn't he live here any more.. it is getting harder for her to understand I think.

    Guess i may as well get up as lay here being awake!!.. I have laundry to attend!!
