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…
