Now where did I put that...
I've been carrying on selling things on ebay, as you may remember. :) Anyway I paid for all my Stella and Dot samples that way, and now I need to pay for some kittens so I'm selling anything I don't use, want or need. One of these things is my old camera. The problem is that since I moved, I can't find it anywhere! I have a buyer and everything, and I've torn the place apart but still I can't find it! I'm starting to worry a bit....

Frozen Arctic blast
Well that's what they're calling it here anyway. :) 20F is hardly arctic in my opinion, but we just might get a dusting of snow, which is causing panic amongst all of East Anglia, the region we live in. It's silly. :)
I had such a good vacation at home that I haven't really been able to get back into the swing of things here. A lot of important papers haven't been getting done, but I've managed to keep up with the jobs at least, and chase after a few more. Also Nelly has been up and down in her ability to see and hear, and she had such severe depression (in the form of peeing all over herself, severe weight loss, disorientation and confusion) that I took her in to the emergency vet when I got her from the cattery. The cattery takes excellent care of her, but she's 19 now and doesn't deal with change well. It's been 3 weeks and she's settled back down, but I went away for 4 days and this time I left her home by herself rather than go to the cattery. She was fine, which was a relief. But after much pring and soul searching I decided that she really needs some companions to help her navigate around and be calm, and to provide her some continuity when I have to go away for weeks. She doesn't tolerate grown cats, but I found a breeder in Scotland who has kittens of her breed and am going to pick them up in 2 weeks. I never thought I'd buy from a breeder when there are so many cats that need homes, but Nelly eats cats for breakfast and is very territorial, and in order to ensure that the kittens will have similar needs to hers I wanted to keep breed specific.
I've been catching up with photo processing and working on various projects, including stripping floors and sanding them down to the original wood. Lots of painting, cleaning, and things like that. And teaching a few people how to sew, which has been really awesome. :)
