Get a grip woman!

Apologies KC, no wonder you couldn't find it - I looked again and The Times listed the name as Twigget (could be a Twiglet mis-type, but my particular word blindness re-saw a double letter in a cat like name. Sorry, and thanks TMV!

I hadn’t a clue what they name was - just had a sudden realisation I knew what KC was talking about and felt remarkably in the know for a change! 😂

Hurray for being in the know and thank you both so much for feeding my cat addiction it's a very subtle cat picture that, very good!  Now I'm going to have to take my phone with me when I go into the back garden, because Half Grown Kitten is still coming after me, though they seem to have abandoned their lust for the blades of my loppers

That picture was in the T3l3graph too - my OH showed it to me with the caption hidden and I couldn't for love nor money see anything other than a tree until the eyes were pointed out! 

themadvix

I couldn’t either - the person who sent it to me had to tell me where to look!

The caption in The Times told us where it was

Hello SL  - sending you & the SL family season's greetings & best wishes for a happy and healthy 2022. - xxx RT

Aren't you lovely @rtandon27 - a number of personal greetings on people's diaries, including mine. I took a media holiday yesterday and we had a lovely time. I hope you (and all on here) did too

I just need to do another LFT before a slightly bigger event at my cousin't house. There will be 18 of us, all tested for our three separate events yesterday, and me again today, as I went to Church (supporting our priest) yesterday and met people outside the bubble of 18

Good luck with the LFT testing, SL - a bubble of 18 is quite big, but between family, friends and religion, I can see it's necessary.  Hope you had a really lovely time.

Everyone there except the niece's baby and two year old had done a LFT. My cousin insisted the older girls also needed one too and was told (at 12.45 on Christmas night by a text that woke hime up) that the 9 year old didn't like doing them. He suggested we all have to do things we don't want to. So they waited until yesterday morning to say their father had decided to take them to his parents instead, and then the other sister arrived to say her husband was not coming after all as he is looking after their dog. It isn't like the dog is new, and having accepted, I find it astonishing that they should just not come.

My cousin's partner had catered for them all (including buying chicken nuggets for the two girls after being told what they would not eat), and it was her first time hosting for his family. How rude and upsetting for her!

We really enjoyed ourselves and I hope she did too. I fear it was more ordeal than pleasure.

I must process our leftovers today. I suspect there will be meat for salad, sandwiches, curry and pie, with a pot of soup too.
