Vikki is proving to be a bit of a puzzle.

Her urine was stronger than normal, but had no infection. Her bloods showed a slighter higher liver count/

Vet said the fact she had blood in her urine was probably due to stress. I said this did not fit the fact that she was a very happy cat who demanded I tickle her tummy every morning.

Vet thought best course of action was to repeat the tests in 4 weeks time. In addition she should have a diet for cats with urinary problems. As she is overweight - not yet obese - the vet was going to call Hill's to see what is available.

No further news on our inheritance.

Glad Shadow is not stressed.

Sally

Glad you are feeling better now - stay in the warm

Arthur

Well on to the Millionaire stakes now then (well the thought was there)

Sorry to hear one of the cats is ill -

Our snowdrops are out too - one of the few plants - planted by my mother that still comes up every year

Our new sofa has arrived & very nice it is too - we just miscalculated the back of it.

OH measured the old sofa - which we now know measured less across the back but the cushions stood out - which is the bit he measured. The thing is we have a very small space - & the cushions went over the woodwork by the side of the door.

When the new one arrived the back just touches it its about 2 inches too big - so it is just siting at a slight angle. We also didn't realise how high up in the air we were sitting - its a whole new view from that high up.

When the delivery men arrived Shadow vanished upstairs under the duvet for over an hour. Gave it a wide berth for 2 days - now he has claimed the 2nd seat as his own.

Saturday night - OH was in his recliner chair - i was on the sofa with Shadow on my lap & an A4 folder on the seat next to me. Bed time arrived but we were watching a programme. Shadow got up - looked at me Yawned a couple of times & jumped off. I went & fed him & he finished his supper & made to go upstairs - saw we were still sitting watching telly.

Walked in gave a couple of big Yowls & rushed out the door - came back jumped on the sofa & tried to squeeze down next to me but the book was in the way. so he wrigglesd & kicked & the book fell on the floor. he turned round a few times & curled up. Gave a couple of very loud Yawns & went to sleep. He refused to come to bed with us & was still there in the morning.

He has a routine now but we keep confusing him

Take care all

Sally

Keep warm and hope you feel much better soon.

Have been busy with one of the cats - 3 visits in 3 days. She is apparently suffering from cystitis.

On Friday had urine and blood tests and now await full results.

She does not seem to suffer from the condition, but it needs to be addressed.

Snowdrop season in full season and as a Galanthophile am visiting gardens and buying new varities. Next weekend will be in Shaftesbury.

The Probate Research company contacted me to say that the Treasury had released money to my second cousin, the administrator and wondered if I had received any. I have had no contact with my cousin for a couple of months.
Was surprised that the money had been released when I am sure my cousing has not tracked all possible heirs - it involved descendants of German relatives born in the 1850's. The Probate Research company has solved all the issues.

Sum of money is not expected to be large, but the family history gained will be excellent.

hello all

not been to well on the mend now

speak soon

Hi everyone

A bit hot here at the mo Anne so sticky and humid,I don't know if it is my age but I am feeling the heat the older I get,the poor air con is working flat out.

There are a lot of fires down South of us at the mo and it is spreading ,a lot of people have been told to leave their homes or stay and fight,my nephew is a firefighter he has been at it for a week now and more firefighters are coming over from the eastern states to help it is that bad.

Wa has had some terrible hot weather.

We finally got the 95 yr old MIL to get an air conditioner it goes in on Friday just in time for another wave of hot weather.

I hope you are all safe in your cold weather,it can be just as dangerous as the heat so all stay safe and indoors and warm,I for one am going to bed now but first I need another shower be fore I go to bed I really need a good nights sleep,27 c for tomorrow so trying to get things done outside before it heats up again.

Will drop in again tomorrow.

Love to you all <3 <3 <3.

Suex :-D :-D :-D <3 <3

Well its nearly February now

WHERE IS EVERYONE

Hopefully our Christmas present will arrive on Monday - we are now sofa less as the old one went to Sofa heaven as the springs went - so i am sitting on the only armchair we hav left.

Shadow is now very confused & keeps walking round the chair & me actually managed to jump on me last night but still wont touch the sides of the chair.

Wait till the new one arrives

Hope everyone is keeping well

Hi everyone



nice to see everyone getting back on here



we are going away tomorrow (Thursday) for the weekend ....... we're going to the Island. It's partly for my birthday celebration dinner with the friends there, but also to help our friend who moved 2 weeks before Christmas from her house to a condo ......................... and fell and broke or fractured her arm on the morning that the movers arrived to pack up the house.

She went out to check something in the garden, stepped on a Douglas fir cone, and it rolled under her foot, so down she went! That was the day before we left for our trip to our daughter's for Christmas

Her arm has been in a sling since then ........................... her right arm of course!


She has received a lot of help from people ............ unpacking, driving her around, etc etc. Now we are going to see what we can do in the way of taking down pictures from the house, and putting them up on the walls in her new place.


We'll be back after a long weekend :-)

Hi Everyone

So nice to be back to normal,it has been a busy time this year .

Glad to see you all had a great Christmas and New year,we have had a lot of Bush fires of late,even my Brother who lives in a place called Toodyay,he has a small farm up there his place came very close to being burnt out but was saves and all is well now.

It is very hot here now so we have to expect fires this time of year ,we are safe down in the lower South West as it is a bit cooler than Perth.

Sally I always have World cover now with Ancestry so if I can help only to happy too.

Off to help the Mother In Law now ,she is 95 but has hurt her back and is on meds for it so we are all banding together to take turns to help her ,she wants to stay in her own house for as long as she can ,she is lucky and has a large family.

Happy New Year everyone

See you all next year

Having enjoyed 5 days with hot sun - getting a tan - today is preparing me for the return to the icy UK. Whilst sun continues to shine there are strong winds and I will be staying indoors.
Celebrated my sister's birthday yesterday with an excellent Paella, followed by rhubarb crumble - delicious but quite unexpected.

The news at the end of the year has been terrible as usual - ferry fire, missing plane...
We must hope that the New Year will be better.

Wishing everyone all the very best for 2015

I will be leaving for Spain in the morning for a week of gentle sunshine (I hope) I mean to chill out and read.
Hope to also assemble an article to go in the Suffolk Family History Magazine to get info on barge building. 4 generations were involved and yet I have not been able to find any info on what type of barge was being built. Amember of the family moved to Southwark and built barges there - again a blank.

Cats are enjoying a vacation at the cattery.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope that we can look forward to a better 2015.

Arthur

A very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year to you wherever you are.

Hi Everyone


I have finally finished my shopping for Christmas and can now have a rest.

It has been a terrible few days here in OZ,A little 2=6 month old Boy went missing from his home on Tuesday Morning in Perth,there must have been hundreds upon Hundreds of people out for the last two days looking for him ,he was also Autistic.

Helicopters out at night along with all these searchers ,but alas this poor little man was found in a nice pretty lake that these land developers over here have decided look nice for the neighbourhood to look at.

The whole State of WA are in shock today, such a terrible loss for the family,really puts a dampener on Christmas for all of us.

I can see you are all in for some shocking weather coming your way as well,here we just boil up and stick on the aircon.

I hope you are all well and you enjoy your holidays <3

Love to you all <3

Suex

Love hearing about Shadow - he is a character.

Yesterday,' Podge', who does not catch mice, went into her pointing mode - she does this when she knows there is a mouse in the house. Usually I know when her sister has brought one in, but not this time. She continued for some time moving round the lounge and looking under chairs and cupboards. Got fed up and went into my bedroom.
I was eating my porridge when I heard a rustle behind me - at the same time Podge rushed in and I saw her chase a very large mouse under the settee (Cats really must have excellent hearing ).
I left to play Bridge, returning 9 hours later. As I left my friends I said "Hope to find one very dead mouse on my return". The cats did not let me down.

Today they have had their Flea drops which means I cannot stroke them. Both in turn have jumped on me and puddled my stomach - I was trying to do some work on my laptop. If only their massaging of my stomach would lead to weight loss. :-)

Now the weather is getting wintry I think it is time ti try to break down some more walls in my tree.

Hi Sue, and everyone


lovely to hear about the antics of the cats :-)




We're off on Friday to spend the holidays with our daughter .......................


sooooooooooooooo


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all xxx
