Uncomfortable Shoes

Hello all, apologies for leaving it almost a month between posts! Not sure what happened to the last 4 weeks (echos of last post ' what happened to the past 10 days' I know) but somehow they have passed in a flash....one weekend of course taken up with ChesterFest which was Absolutely Superb, thank you so much for making it a real Weekend To Remember! I have not laughed so much before or since for a long while, it was just the coolest. Can't wait for LiverFest now!!

Plus my two new housemates, Dylan and Thomas, moved in, who are of the feline species and who are as we speak playing 'tag' up and down the stairs at 100mph which will end any minute in a punch up which Thomas will win, but then he will be beset by guilt at hurting Dylan and will retreat into the sofa for the next 2 hours ... just like children! They are very groovy and make me laugh lots and I would not be without them now, even though they have only been here 2 weeks. And despite the fact they are costing me a small fortune in Felix and Hills Science Diet food. Not to mention the £200 investment in the world's most advanced Cat Tunnel that I had to have installed through my kitchen wall so they stand a small chance of surviving at least their first foray Outside! Which incidentally is planned for tomorrow. I am half looking forward to them being 'natural cats' and being able to entertain themsleves by slaying small animals and socialising with the local felines, and equally terrifiedthey will get squashed within about 3 mins of being let out in which case I shall (a) be distraught and (b) unable to face Gina ever again!

As soon as I have mastered the art of digital photos I will try and put some on here for you. Not that I harbour any desires to become 'please look at these pictures of my cats' (because from that point you are literally one step away from wearing Comfortable Shoes and thus may as well have a sign outside your house saying 'I have no friends, am socially inadeqaute and bat for the other side'), but because they are a fine looking pair and it will be nice for you all to see them just once. (If I do start to Go On about them it is your duty as my friends to put a stop to it)!

No other news really, work is craaaaaaazy at the mo, I unoffically-officially start the new job Monday, officially start sometime in April I think! By which time I will either have vaguely mastered the basics and be ok, or I will have totally collapsed under the pressure of trying to even vaguely master the basics in which case I'll be watching lots of daytime tv... No, it should be good, it is just a bit of a major learning curve - character building as my Dad would say!

On which note I am going to sign off as it is Friday and thus the weekend, yippee! Time for a celebratory glass of vino. Have fun all and I wil try my hardest to post something more interesting in the next few days as oppose to weeks......
