Hello again...
It's been a while....! My chief bit of news is that I became a mother on the 5th of January to a little furry boy....officially (ie on the vet's records) his name is Sam but he only really answers to 'Baby' or 'Darling Boy'.
I've never wanted to get a pet purely because I haven't been settled and didn't want to have to move an animal between countries. He was 'free to a good home' (a misnomer if ever there was one as I'm sure I've spent over a thousand rand on various vaccinations / pet carriers / designer kitten food etc) but worth every penny as I can't tell you the joy & laughter he has brought to my home....a real little character who settled in very quickly and found his purr on the second night in his new home.... Even my mother, who is not fond of cats, has been overheard singing his praises... One thing nobody tells you though is how naughty kittens are....dear me..there were times in the beginning when I could have cheerfully given him back....
He takes his secretarial duties fairly seriously most days but other times has been caught napping on the job..& certainly gets the 'best dressed' prize in our office with his tuxedo outfit & little red collar.
Just after he arrived, we had a heatwave and I first noticed this peculiar trait...I thought he would grow out of it but no...he still stretches out in this way...& my, what big ears you have, darling boy....
The printer is an endless source of fascination & needs investigating every time something gets printed out...sadly, he is no longer small enough to fit neatly in the tray...
