Hi

Yes a small and short blog but I'm busy and on holiday - HA! This week has seen us have our lovely friends Adrianna and Sarah visit (sadly just for 1 whole day and 2 nights) so we tried to pack in as much as possible with a day trip to London. Boy that was a physically demanding day - lugging a buggy around the central tube stations in London was no fun, and with my shoulder in a bad way I was a pretty grumpy pants by Sunday morning as I've not had a decent nights sleep for over 3 months. What also didn't help in a round about kinda way was the physio I had on Friday afternoon was pretty hard core and I REALLY did suffer. She had a go at my stiff jaw too - I was almost in tears it was that bad. But no pain to gain - hmmm? I succummed and decided to try out my stash of cocodamol for some mega pain relief, so one hour after taking it on Sunday evening I was pretty high! Went to bed and slept right through with rolling around in pain once! I enjoyed it so much I took it again last night, but I didn't get quite the same effect :( but maybe that was due to Drew occupying the bed too!
Sunday also saw us transport Elvis back to his folks - I met up with Steve at Scotch Corner for a quick cuppa and exchange. Elvis was an angel during his journey and didn't complain (or make a dirty protest). I got a text about 8 pm that night to say he had arrived safely. So far he's settled in pretty well, hiding under Amanda and Steve's bed and taking to exploring the house when he is feeling braver. I know he will be ok as he's started kissing his mom - I wont be missing his drooling that's for sure, though today I did feel a little unsettled as I thought I heard him meowing, and usually when I go to the summer house to work out he follows me down and sits while I row. So I did miss him a little tonight. But we have some plans in the pipeline to adopt a couple of larger kitties (google Maine Coons!) . I've been wanting one of these cats for years (YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS) and I've been speaking to someone who is looking to re-home 2 females (aged 4 and 5) . I'll update you later in November.
