Maggie

Hello, dear reader!

Sorry, mum, this one’s about cats again.

I say cats, but I actually mean cat. One cat. Singular. Individual.

And, although it might be difficult for all you Ailurophobics out there, my own sainted mother included, this week there isn’t much choice in it, either.

You see, last Friday, at just before 11pm, we said goodbye to Maggie for the last time.

Coming Home

Hello, dear reader!

Well, that was a week.

I mean most weeks are, generally speaking. The standard seven day progression through the calendar, whether from Sunday to Sunday, Monday to Monday, or some arbitrary point to arbitrary point is pretty standard these days. A regular occurrence, one might say.

But it’s how you fill them that counts, and these last seven days have been filled to the brim with excitement, anticipation, and elation on multiple fronts.

So, shall we?

Scarcey Cat

Hello, dear reader!

If man’s best friend is a dog, then I don’t know what a cat is meant to be.

A bloody nuisance would be my best bet at the moment.

Not that I have anything against cat’s as a whole you understand (sorry, mum, I don’t) but when it comes to specifics there’s one feline in particular who’s taking the whole ‘nine lives’ thing and testing it to destruction.

Let me explain.

An Account On Account

Hello, dear reader!

It’s going to be a quick one today.

No, really

Really really.

It is in fact going to be a quick one tonight. The reason being that, although I usually write my weekly offering on a Wednesday, when I post it, I’m writing this one on Tuesday, the night before.

And, of course, there’s a reason.

On time

Hello, dear reader!

And it’s back to li’l ol’ me!

Yes after Tina’s wonderful post last week, I’m afraid it’s back to my (Mark’s) inane ramblings.

And it’s about time!

Mum's The Word

Hello, dear reader!

It's not often I (Tina) willingly ‘volunteers’ to do this blog ….. But this week something quite significant happened that I would like to share with you all.

If you are a regular reader of this blog - you may be interested to know that I am one of 3 children - and our Mum is unfortunately in the latter stages of dementia

The Last Resort

Hello, dear reader!

And guess who’s just booked a holiday!

Well, no it isn’t me. I will be though. Tomorrow to be precise!
