Just an Idea!

For cats confined to apartments. Just an idea!

Well my first blog for 2010. I have just had a relaxing 4 days, which I badly needed, as I have been flat out for the last month. Now I have to get ready for our visitors at the end of this month but beforehand Tony's visit to hospital.

We have a pre op visit this Tuesday and then Tony goes in the following Monday for about 6 days.

Our visitors ......Grant and a friend from WA are stopping off for a few days before they go to New Zealand and Barry from England arrives for two weeks the next day. In the meantime I will be at Nelson Bay for 3 days when Grant first arrives but hopefully Tony will be recovered enough to pick them up from the airport otherwise they will have to make their own way.

We had the company of Lennie and Bandit for a few days when Melissa left. Bandit was top dog and scavenged all the food and Lennie and Pinto let him.

The two visitors slept in the laundry while Pinto had the kitchen to himself and we didn't hear a peep out of them until around 5.45am when we let them out for a wee.

We took them to the park and they all had a good run around and when they returned home they all had a nap. Lennie was on his best behaviour and had even curtailed his barking.

Pinto was a bit mopey when they left for a day or so but is back to normal now.

Kerry-Ann gave me a voucher for 3 months worth of dvds from Quickflix. I watched the first of these last week which was called Brick Lane. It was about a 17 yr old girl from a Bangladeshi village who is thrown into an arranged marriage to an older man and goes to live in a flat in London's East End where she pines for her sister back home. She struggles to make sense of her existence - and to do her duty to her husband. Told from birth she must not fight her fate.

It was quite a moving film.
