Feeling Good

We had a wonderful weekend when bear came home. It was wonderful to see him. He looked happy and healthy, though tired, and he was so relaxed with us. DH and I were thrilled. We had gathered together a care package, with some treats like hot sauce and biscuits, and he took what he could carry back with him and we posted the rest for him to collect on campus. He said that he really appreciated the goodies and the thought, and it was a boost as he was studying. 

Other good news is a quote about repairing our roof. There's a few slates missing, and we have been told it's £200, not the £1,200 that the man who knocked on the door quoted. I suspect that we'll have some more repairs in the near future as our roof is quite old, but we'll wait and see what happens. 

This blog is incredibly useful sometimes. I didn't have a sensible pic for today, so I thought that I would crack on with a project that I've been meaning to tackle. I only had a short amount of time, but I dug out the smaller lucet and the brown twine. If you remember, I had a basket where I'd added cord handles with the cord made by the lucet. The post is here.


So far, the cord that I hope to use as a replacement looks like this.



Knowing that I ought to do something for the blog spurred me on, and I hope to finish off at least one handle by tomorrow. 

Writing stuff - Apart from working on the White Hart, I can confirm that the paperback is now available for Cats in the Bible, if you are interested. There is also this week's instalment of the Guest on my writing blog here

Hugs and good health to all.

  1. Glad you had a lovely time with Bear!
    It's good the roof cost was cheaper. It's so expensive over here. We don't have a large house (really small by American standards) and it cost us over 15,000 to have the roof replaced!!

    1. I think we'd have a bit more to pay if we replaced the roof, but I'll be glad just to have the patch for now.

  2. I am enjoying dipping in and out of your Cats in the Bible collection of little stories. (A series of gentle recollections of the antics Lyssa's cats got up to). It brings back memories of our own cats that we had over the years.

    1. I'm glad that you're enjoying the stories. I think all cat owners are blessed with wonderful stories, and I hope that bringing back memories made you smile. It's a nice change as the rest of my books are full of vampires or werewolves or ghosts. Thank you for reading Cats in the Bible and your kind words.

    1. He seemed to be happy to visit. To be honest, I think that it did all of us a power of good.
