    It's been a long day, but Megan is now here. We're renaming her Mrs Dog.

    The cat has already attacked her so she knows her place and she's had two walks. She thought that was okay, but is now terrified of the cat.
    Better is good enough.

    Aww HB I must have missed a page! I know you had seen a doggie bu thought you were in two minds about it. Has she moved in then? Is it the rescue one you saw an ad for? How lovely!

    I've spoken to FIL to thank him for his help with the littlies, he said they were good as gold and got dressed nicely, no monkey business etc. MIL gets back fri tea time and wants them to come and stay (I know she wants them there at the airport :)) so I will take them over in the afternoon. They go on a 2wk hol soon so she will be keen to spend time with them. Will have to find myself some plans for Saturday!

    Dry and warm ish here today but very cloudy, no sun. Rumour has it that it will return tomorrow though! We might have to go for a picnic somewhere...
