    I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. He looks absolutely lovely, so the picture of him has brought a sparkle into my life. That's the magic that cats can do and I hope you treasure memories of joy and warmth that he brought to you.

    If I may be allowed to be slightly inappropriate at this time, I notice you said "My cat has gone." This makes me want to reply asking "Where has he gone?" or "Gone - where?". I hope this can bring a little bit of laughter which sometimes we need to cope with these types of things. It reminds me of the time that Nelson Mandela died and President Zuma made an announcement saying he "has departed". He made it sound, to me, like he had just got on the bus to the other side of town. I knew what he meant though. So I understand this and it's times like this that clarity is unnecessary. Of course I know what you mean and at this point as usual I just don't know what to say:o:o, except that I'm sorry to hear the news. I just don't do condolences very well, but they are heartfelt. Sadly, we all "go" at some point but hopefully we aren't "going" anywhere for a long time yet. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Pip.

    It's a very cold day again:(. The weather here at the moment seems to be reflecting the doubt in the forecast about whether there will be snow or will not. Looking outside it seems a bit snowy in some areas of the road but other areas are fine and clear. So it's sort of half and half, neither one thing nor the other.

    I always manage to park my car in the one place, or facing the one direction, where the windscreen gets covered in ice:(:rotfl:. Every other car on the road, cars around mine or those parked facing the other way, as usual, will be completely fine. I sometimes have to park a bit farther down the road if I've got back late and someone happens to be outside my house - it's no problem though as there is always some room but you can guarantee I'll walk past other cars the following morning, all of which are fine, have been parked in places the sun has hit and have clear windscreens, and then, finally, reach mine and find it's the only one that was parked in the area that got the frost:(. It's usual though, in frosty times, so I deal with it:cool:.
