Wonderful news, 33 Chilean miners and their rescuers arrived safely last night after 70 days underground. Such brave men and families. Strong message whatever you are facing, however impossible, never give up hope

Tom's birthday and last minute decision we travelled over to Calais and down the coast to beautiful beaches at Wissant and Le Touquet. Lunch near Cap Blanc Nez.. think this means white nose, icecream in Wissant and tea in le Touquet.. a funny place with wide white sandy beaches, many shops, world class casinos and a racecourse. Warm and sunny day and too soon on the ferry home again

early evening driving home noticed full moon resting on small cloud on one side and beautiful yellow sunset on other side and large stormy clouds inbetween...

Kenny update

Some weeks later and Kennys face is a lot better and hes out and about again inbetween rain showers - and im hoping his fur and a few whiskers will grow back but hes not too worried

another trip to the vet early in the morning to see how kenny is doing and more peeing on the way back.. perhaps shouldnt be surprised that later same day when we came home... kenny burst out the door like some determined but overweight marine, dodged around all of us trying to catch him and threw himself head first through the hedge with his little buster collar

then silence, all afternoon... nothing, no matter how much we called, looked or wafted freshly cooked fish around until early evening, many hours later, he appeared again and ran strait in for his tea

Kenny travelling in little white van

because kenny looked little poorly, took him to our vet holding him on my lap because he was too big with his cuff to go in his cat box - he shook and trembled and looked all around him in awe as everything wizzed past and then put his head under my arm but then felt something warm and wet and reallised he had peeed all over me - perhaps his way of protesting about going to the vet

seems kenny's been in a fight and been bitten on his face and its blown up, so he has one of those funny collars to stop him scratching and he looks a bit scary, little like a komodo dragon and my other cat, took one look at him and ran away.

this has made kenny very sad and he is now hiding under the bed
