I’ve been a little quiet. Sorry. I have reasons though!

There was the jet lag, the unpacking, the plastic plants in my garden, the seriously ill and half-starved cat, removing the house-sitter’s furniture and the incredibly large amount of cleaning I needed to do.

Plus a few crying jags – to round out my activities.

Don’t adjust your set; you read all of that correctly.

I shall fill in the details at a later stage. However, people were wanting to know why I hadn’t posted since I left Texas. Well, now y’all have the goss.

In the meantime, the beloved Tash cat has started purring again and no longer panics if she wakes up and can’t see me. She has also stopped shouting at me. And she’s gaining some weight.

Phew.

Now, I must go and tend to the large area of soaked and mildewing carpet I have just discovered below my refrigerator and start lifting the vinyl kitchen tiles that have curled due to the same mysterious moisture.

Fun, fun, fun.
