it's been an interesting week. last weekend was BBQ-ville, then on the monday I was still officially "off sick".

My new doors and windows lok fab, and the cats have finally got the hang of the new cat flap. it's not exactly rocket science, just a few inches to the right of the old one... bless em.

Three hungry little souls. So my cats are now very disgruntled as I won't let them out into the back garden. lets just hope they make it to be strong enough learn to fly and keep out of Jess and Millies reach...
