High days and a few days off

St Guy

Too much to do, too little time to do it in.

We're going away for a couple of days so the cats have just gone on their holidays. Figgy complained and swore for a while, Misty cried all the way there 'Are we nearly there yet?'.

The cattery is lovely though - the people there are very kind. It's an English-run cattery and very popular so we have to ensure we get booked up early for busy times, which this isn't. Apparently they are already fully booked for Christmas and have been for weeks.

There is little we can do for the neighbour's cats but we will leave them a little food tucked away here and hope that they will find it and make it last until Sunday evening when we get back. We are very suspicious that the little tortie is pregnant but hope that she will be OK and that her owners will look after her when the time comes.

Speaking of which, today is the day our youngest daughter's baby is due - no signs yet, and when ever has a baby been born on time? It would be lovely if she can have it soon though as her last two were both two weeks late and she really doesn't want that.

I'm off to clean the pool, plant my replacement tomato plants (the first lot got blight again) and pack.

Back next week.
