Here goes
Right then. Swift roundup of things that've happened in the last few months, in vague order..
- Get pay rise. yay!
- Cat's Gran (who's been in hospital for a while now) officially determined to be too frail to go home for the forseeable and needs a place in a nursing home. Boo.
- Cat moves into the flat, bringing with her the itty bitty kitty committee! Yay!
- Siouxie,Toyah, and Bowie proceed to play with stuff, sleep, eat stuff, sleep some more, investigate, nap, climb, snooze, and generally take over the place. Yay!
- Got burgled by very stupid people who failed to take anything really valuable and didn't bother with the power supplies for other stuff. Bloody annoying all the same, police say that unless they get lucky there's not a lot of chance of catching anyone. Boo.
- Take time off to go on holiday. Completely fail to go anywhere, but spend the week productively rearranging and sorting out the flat so there's space for all Cat's stuff. Yay!
- Found homes for kittens, boo cos they go, yay! cos...
- Shortly afterwards we move Kit, Mistle, and Froggie in. With no-one living there permanently Cat's Gran's house was being invaded by strays and they weren't enjoying living by themselves with no human contact apart from being fed.
- Frog spends the next week demanding laps and strokes, while Mistle hides behind the sofa and only emerges for food, and Kit just knocks everything he can find off shelves.
- Things normalise somewhat. Frog's fur goes from matted to fluffy again after intensive stroking, Mistle emerges, Kit continues to find new shelves to investigate. Yay! (aside from crashes at 4am when Kit finds something new to destroy).
- In a very cunning move, we give our old sofa to a friend from work in exchange for him and his hired minivan helping us move Cat's leather sofa with pop-out footrests in. Yay!
- The telly dies. Boo.
- It's my birthday, Cat gives me a Wii. Yay!
- Bedroom telly can't cope with the Wii. Boo.
- Use insurance money from the burglary to get new telly. Yay!
