Well actually, I've read a couple of books, watched an old movie (Cool Hand Luke- don't waste your time), had a midday nap. Went for a surf. I did make dinner but that's because I do 3 nights and Claire does three nights. Sunday we make it up as we go along.
Oh. And we have a dishwasher. I load it, her unloads it.
Nice try Dave but, no cigar.

Ahh yes, the infamous "Cumulus Granitus". I'm always amused by that Far Side cartoon, "What is that Mountain Goat doing way up here in this cloud bank".

(14 yo and had been suffering with a tumour on his liver for 3 months)

RIP Puss.

Devastating eye30, but you did the right thing. Give yourself some time, then get another, we did & I'm glad.

Surferdude · **Reply #77: May 26, 2012, 01:28:02**

Geez eye30. Your puss was so much like our Samantha who we had to do the same thing with just over a year ago that I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sam was 16. I've just shown your pic to my wife and daughter. They feel the same way I do.

Yeah. They do Dazz. Occasionaly we left Samantha at the "Contented Cat Inn" near home in Sydney when we were away. The lady there always said the same thing. Sam hated the trip out in the car (and cat carrier) and the moment we got there she'd snuggle into this lady's neck and forget all about us.
Yet she hated almost anyone who wasn't our immediate family.

Dazzler · **Reply #81: May 26, 2012, 12:29:55**

Smokey is a Tabby although his stripes are less pronounced and he has more grey and less white than most.. but he has an excellent nature very cuddly and gentle with the grand kids (better than me)

- I have been worried by one thought lately: since Russian Ruble has been lowering towards other main currencies for over a week I incline to undertake one of the following actions: 1) sell my Hyundai i30 and buy Citroen new C4 VTi 1.6 AT Exclusive, which is significantly cheaper and have more features than Russian new Hyundai i30 or 2) transfer money I have set aside to other currencies
