    I don't blame you re the cats. They'll get a good loving home with you. Will the best boy take to them?

    Glad you enjoyed the gin :) I felt a bit worse for wear today too after the lunchtime drinking yesterday.

    Didn't see the royal wedding but have seen clips on TV since. What fabulous weather for them. I think they make a lovely couple.

    I bet :) Cats are brilliant. I had three at one point, sadly down to one now but then I've got a dog too. Someone I work with has just adopted two cats. I think it's a lovely thing to give a homeless cat a loving home xx

    You know my heart just breaks for them.
    This pair belonged to someone who can no longer can look after them.
    Stuck in that tiny pen.
    So if I can give them a few years of happiness that is all good.
    They are very affectionate.
    They are 13 & brother & sister.

    If you've made the decision to go for the cats, then go for it, beanie!

    I could write quite a long article about ideas around loneliness in relation to the ceremony, but I won't, it would take the rest of the evening :o but after all the kerfuffle this week, her mum looked dignified and elegant and classy.

    The American bishop, erm, sorry, I didn't really take to him :rotfl: I think he triggered my "don't tell me how to feel" issues :D

    You know I have always wanted a ginger cat.
    Always said I would get one after my best boy has gone to rainbow bridge but what do I know :rotfl:

    Oh ginger! There's a couple (father and son, I think, both live locally) who purloin the hard standing at the front of my house, to use as a suntrap :) its very cute, and they don't often run away if I open the door softly enough. Then I have happy cats twisting about my legs :):):)
