I can’t believe it has been a week since I wrote here. Must do better!

It has been a weekend with little activity to report form the land of Hillywilly. Whilst I’m sure you will all be pleased to hear that Moo is feeling much better, I hope to garner a little sympathy when I tell you I am not. The past 2 nights have been marred by lack of [...]

Please read the post below, ‘the first part of my yesterday’ first as this is a continuation. Merci. When I answered the door I was fully expecting nobody to be there again. But somebody most defiantly was. It was my neighbour, Mr. A, and he was not in a good way. He was shaking like [...]

You couldn’t make it up And you probably wouldn’t want to. I knew yesterday was not going to be the best of days, but even I had managed to underestimate the level of strange that would occur. I didn’t get that much sleep, after Chimney died it took a long time to get to the [...]

Just when I had got to thinking that all was well with little Chim, ‘things’ have turned out to be decidedly not so.
