    Hello All, back properly trying to get things back on track. Funeral was yesterday. My boss has been brilliant, am working from home today. Am very tired and still quite teary.

    Hope everyone on here is ok, and hasn't been affected by the riots.
    Oooh lots of hugs ((((((Unix))))))

    Oooooh, I want a shetland pony, used to help look after 2 when I was about DD's age, Sugar and Spice, real Thelwell ponies :) My freegle is very strict about animals, which is sad as I desperately want a cat but have heard horror stories about the local sanctuaries expecting the earth in terms of having to work from home, not have too many people over, must have cat flaps in every available door/wall going etc etc.....but oddly enough my neighbours all over the place have happy cats that they open the door for, go out to work etc etc. I used to as well! Ho hum, I can't actually afford cat food at the moment anyway, let alone insurance/vet bills, so maybe it'll stay a pipedream for another day or so.....

    YAY to sunshine. It's always sunny in my heart these days (lol) but it's very windy and autumnal in KK and KC country today, brrrrr!!

  • Indeed eh? KK I'd offer to have it for you, but they eat alot! and, talking of cats, we're hopefully getting two from cats protection, subject to inspection..............! both ginger and white :)

    On another note, MR stripes a bit fed up (being south) so cheered him up by blogging about our adventure :)

    he's happier now, hopefully!

    Errrm.......no, I'm going on anecdotal evidence........it is on my to do list and there is a nice-sounding sanctuary near me, so maybe DD and I will mooch on over and fall all in love with ALL the boy cats (I'm angling for a nice lazy boy who likes cuddles, bit like OH in feline form, lol), although DD did say the other day that she'd like two girl cats - Zara and Kate. It's all OH's sister's fault, she passes me Hello and OK magazines to flick through and so DD is now obsessed with weddings!!

    Lol to being obsessed by weddings, I guess she's that age!

    Loving the moggy talk - tho it is indeed a bit breezy round KK and KC way! Quietened a bit now, and I *have* been out for blackberries again - wanted the fresh air, and I'd spotted that there were some on "my" tree ripe again :)

    Unix - I'm not surprised you're teary, do look after yourself, this is very tough
