Of course,things are not going to plan. Since when,since hubby died have things went to plan. HERVE PLEASE COME BACK TO LIFE. NO? Shit; I really must learn to do things on my own….A couple of friends put down on their diariers it was next weekend I was moving,so two less tomorrow. Never mind;things will get done(see I am being positive,at last) Big,Big worry is bloody marmeduke!!!!
i love you ,my ginger and white nutcase,but PLEASE,PLEASE,¨PRETTY PURLEASE DO NOT DO ONE OF YOUR FAMOUS DISAPPEARING ACTS TOMORROW BEFORE I PUT YOU IN YOUR CAGE!!!In the meantime have fun playing between cardboard boxes.

News

Well,to be honest there really isn’t much. Back home,back to work,packing boxes,whilst counting the days–only five more nights on night duty(hope next month I’m back on days or even being allowed some time off)Yesterday ,late afternoon,I went round to the new house and took oor wullie with me as the owner of my new place has a seven year old,male, brittany spaniel,and I was wondering how the two boys would get on together. Why,oh, why didn’t I take the camera?? They played in the garden for about an hour like a couple of puppies. Oof. Now hopefully his cat and 4 cat gang will get on well together. no doubt it will take three or four days,but ,hey, the garden is big,so each will find there place. Next week oor wullie and 4 cat gang are going on holiday for a few days whilst I move.At last…

B****y CAt

As some of you know, I”ve had one very,very short trip to NZ: Oor wullie was put into the kennels but a friend came to look after 4 cat gang::Big mistake. When she came to feed them this morning,no sign of Maremeduke.I came home,just over one hour ago,feeling a tad depressed on hearing this news,and lo and b****y behold,when I opened the dor to the living area what or rather WHO was sitting on the dining table?? B****y Marmeduke. Now,me being me and not havinf Jeeza Clarkson’s wit will now proceed to destroy the said cat. Have a nice weekend ,all

As you can see,Oor wullie and 4 cat gang are highly stressed whilst I pack boxes..

New House

At last I have found a quant ground floor flat which comes with a nice little garden which is shared by the owner who lives upove.Its in Brignon which is the village on the other side of the one I lived in for over twenty years.Its on a very quiet lane–very little traffic,and the back of the garden backs on the vineyards,so cats can be out as much as they want and as the garden is securly fenced and gated off ,oor wullie can be out in the garden without being tied up,as well,without going walk a bouts on his own(oof)
The owner is busy fitting in a lovely wood stove which will heat the place up really well. It has one really big main room,with open plan kitchen at one end,study(or small bedroom)one huge bedroom(very bright with two big windows)one nice sized bathroom/wc. plus a wide hallway where I can put in a couple of chest of draweres and an armchair. Its going to be hell of course trying to get things packed and ready to go as I’m on night shifts,but,at last I found something I really like and at a good price. So is my luck changing??? I really hope so:::

OH NO—NOT AGAIN

HELP…. Got my planning for august and guess what???? ON b****y night shift again. Big boss was very pleased how I handled quite a few hitches so she said she has full confidence in me to handle nights again(me + cleaner for 90 residents): S**t. I would prefer her to have little or no confidence in me and let me do the daytime 12H shift instead of nights. But,at the same time its work and work brings home a little euros towards NZ..SO

if anyone can give me tips on how to sleep during the day PURRLEASE tell me
xxxxxxxxxx

Trip to Savaii

This is written,following the last posting from lochielbute(my view,wordpress) as we had similar misadventures re a trip.
I had booked to go on a half day trip to the northern shores of the island of Savaii(samoa). I was to be picked up at the hotel(aggie greys resort and spa)at 06h30. When not seeing anyone coming for me I asked at reception,to be told,yes the bus leaves aggie greys but the other hotel in Apia,39kms away so they will be here later for you. OK,fair enough. When the time for the ferry was approaching(08h) I started to feel uneasy,when francoise(swiss woman whose hubby was the skipper of the boat I was often on)passed by the hotel,so she took me to the ferry adn as I couldnt see any sign of the tour bus bought a day return ticket and on the boat I went. Landing on the other island no sign at all of the tour bus getting of the ferry,so I made enquires,then was told”oh itsq normal–if they don’t have enough clients they just cancel the trip::Well, I will hire a car and drive around by myself(starting to be used to hiring cars on the south pacific islands and going for a jaunt)only my passport and drivers licsenses’french and international)were in the safe of the hotel. Starting to feel more than angry,let down etc,i was approached by the guy who told me the trip was cancelled along with another guy,the other guy had a mini-bus and offered to take me for a day trip round the island for less than the price I booked::: I was rather sceptical but thought well I’m here make the most of it. It was fantastic!!!First stop the new market,where I met us mother,selling the fruit and veg from their garden,then on to the blow holes,then down the east coast to visit the lava fields,then down to go and swim with turtles,then lunch in “fale”at “virgin cove beach”Then back up north to visit the “Togitogiga”waterfall,before going back to the blow holes,which sadly were still not blowing much. Before driving me to the ferry,was the cherry on the cake,tea with his parents who gave me loads of fresh fruit to take back with me. As I say it was afull day trip,lunch included for a lot cheaper then the tour company.
P.S the only “down side” I have to the south pacific islands -is because of the humidity you have to change the betteries in the camera after about twenty photoes being taken,but hey that a small price to pay whilst in paradise.

OOR WULLIE

I was working nights on sat,sun and monday,so as it would mean me being out of the house for almost hours(12h shift + the return drive) I put “le fauve”to the kennels. I drove to bring him home yesterday afternoon. Whilst walking him,it seemed the top of his left leg was wet—it was; BLOOD. I looked at the wound as best as I could and a lot of his fur is away,so I take him to the vets at 17h–they couldn’t fit me in before.No doubt I’m panicking but I’m scared that its a skin disease called “leichmaniose”which is caused by mosquito bites-he has a special coller which I change every two months but sadly there is no vaccination for this shitty mediterean disease.
