So glad the cat came back, helia!
Ha -- there's a VERY old country song about a man trying to get rid of a cat, and the cat keeps beating him home. Also a joke where the man gets lost, calls home and asks, "Is that cat back yet?" (Yes) "Well ask him how he got there. I'm lost."

RE: the distance between you and the new baby, FaceTime is the most wonderful thing in the world. It must have been invented for families like yours!

Hello, everyone!

FFB, I may be summoned across the road to admire G13yo's Halloween outfit, as they are having a party for her friends, but I think that's going to be it for Halloween participation!

Helia, that's wonderful news about Kingsley. I suspect some at least of the reason why he and Mini are hissing at each other is that Kingsley smells different after his night out, and it's possible she doesn't recognise him (cats identity mostly by smell) and is protecting her territory. Have they both been fixed? If not, then he may have spent the night with another lady cat... If they were friendly to each other before then they'll almost certainly settle down again, although it may take some time. And, of course, there'll be another big change when Baby I comes home. S and F do know not to leave the cats alone and I supervised with Baby I, don't they? Most cats do *not* like being grabbed, poked or squeezed, and will retaliate. ( That's why we ended up with Freddie!)

I understand about how tiring SH must be. When DBIL comes to visit he talks incessantly, and at one. I either just tune out and let it all flow past me, or I shut myself in the kitchen. Maybe you could say you had some lesson prep to do? That would be a good reason to find a room on your own, without causing offence.

L.Ann, at least bringing the surgery forward means it's over and done with.

LucyLee, that's an excellent point about Facetime!

Bama, there's always hope for a new day! I think Trissie and family have gone to the cottage, as it's half term.

Hi, Peaches!

I have a clean and tidy sitting room, and DH has left for his choral group. So far, I've taken advantage of his absence to update the kitchen calendar, and dismantle the multi-photo frame with the broken glass. That's now safely in the dustbin. Not sure what I'll do with the photos yet. A couple are really nice, so I'll want to keep them.
