What are you all up to

I did CY.  It was the story of Belshazzar's feast!!

Poor little cat tammygirl. Some people get pets for all the wrong reasons 😤. But then I think some have babies for all the wrong reasons as well. She is obviously not right. Good for you for letting her stay at yours for a bit.

I hope all goes well for you this week.brue. It is a difficult thing to do. Our thoughts are with you.

I was on Welcomer duty this morning. It has gone a bit quiet but we did have the rehersal for the pre school nativity play which was delightful. The actual play is next Tuesday so I am really looking forward to that. We went to a talk about the Arts and Crafts movement at our Museum Soc this evening which was excellent. So much information. We have a window designed by Rosetti and made by William Morris in the Cathedral😊

Oo I missed that Millie when we went to Peterborough. I love  the Arts & Crafts designers. Need to revisit, perhaps after Xmas.

Quite  agree  with  the  Ladies  w r t   moggy  --  Aged  Sister  has  been  driving  us  all  scatty  about  her  moggy  aka  Alfie Cat.  She's  only  88 and  too  perky  for  her  own  good  but  has  got  this  world  taped  to  her  satisfaction  as  far  as  she  can.  The  paperwork  is  all  done  complete  with  relevant  'phone  numbers  so  that if / when  anything  happens  to  her  the  system  will  swing  into  full  overdrive  &  the  cat  will  be  despatched  to  her  youngest  son  in  Sheffield,  whether  he  wants  him  or  not.  After  that  is  sorted  we  are  free  to  make  our  own  decisions  etc,  BUT ALFIE  CAT  MUST  COME  FIRST  !!

Anyway  I'm  just  back  from  surgery  after  dropping  in  my  annual 'sample'  for  kidney  checks.  Damned  nearly  got  ejected  by  Receptionist  'cos  I  walked  to  her  desk,  waved  the  sample  packet  and  mis-quoted  Chamberlain's  lines  "  I  believe  it's  pees  in  our time "  Managed  to  get  thro'  the  door  before  she  found  something  throwable.

Have  a  good  time  you  lot,  grey  days  are  no  reason  to  stop  having  fun  !!

P.S.

DId  anybody  have  problems  with  this  Silly  Site  last  night  ??  I  tried  about  5  different  ways  to  log  on  but  did  not  get  far  enough  down  the  route  to  even  type  in  any  rude  words  ,  so  went  to  bed  &  started  on  another  fantasy  book  on  Kindle  in  order  to  stop  them  gathering  dust  .

WEt miserable start for the morning walk,now getting very muddy in places, did not realise just how bad the treads on old wellies were until wearing the new ones this morning the grip was so different(bit like having new tyres)Rosa got very wet, and then very muddy as did one of her toyboys (9 month border collie)when they had a "play in the mud"good job we have the outside dog wash

We were back very late last night, had a peek at CT  but don't know if it was working ok or not. Hope the little cat is better or has had some treatment. Upsetting when you see animals being neglected, we've had to take cats to the vets that didn't belong to us. But we did have a cat who walked in one very chilly night in Scotland and he got his paws permanently under the table for the next twelve years, he was ill at first and the vet found he had a nasty abscess, fighting off marauders in his street life existence no doubt, no known owners.

Dull, grey and raining  I've really had enough now  could someone give the jet-stream a shove. Give me cold frosty crisp dry days any day to this miserable weather.

Moggie update!  the male owner came in last night to see her  he was going to take her home but I persuaded him she is fine here until they take her to a vet (4pm today) they have 2 young very active and unruly children who sadly never leave the cat alone. Under normal circumstances she's fast enough to escape them but not just now. She has managed to go out to the toilet which I am a little happier about, however in doing so she almost went down on her right back leg. She is walking very gingerly on tiptoes, she allows you to pick her up (not usual) but you have to be careful, she is not happy about you stroking her hips, particularly her right one. So I'm thinking that is the source of her problems, maybe a bad jump/fall  hopefully not someone kicking her. Anyway he (owner) is taking her today to the vets, he is much easier to talk to and he agrees she isn't right. I've given him all the info of what she has been like over the past 5 days hopefully he will convey that to the vet. Then we will just have to wait and see I guess.

OH out now to the village lunch club where he helps out, after that he has 2 meetings to do with the village development trust (he's chairman) so I'm off out on my own shopping (browsing) 

Good news on the cat front Tammygirl, hopefully he'll be sensible enough to consider rehoming it!

I also agree with you about the jet stream. Dull and wet here not so cold double figures outside! Wind now getting up but I fear it won't blow the clouds away.

Rang friends up the road, 3rd day on the trot but they answered this morning, invited them down for cuppa this afternoon, bit of a chat. Opened the front door an hour or so later to walk to local Lidl, who's passing? We walked together, more chat. Hopefully they'll still be some topics to cover when they arrive later 😂😂😂😂😂

Me too. No not that one! A good excuse to vist again 😉. Do they do guided tours? Last time I went an exhibition, creation I believe. I loved it but my recall's not what it was 😂😢
