A Tribute..

Our last cat, Maddie aka Mee-ma died on Friday night. Fortunately/unfortunately I wasn't here when it happened - Mr Grump had to deal with it as well as telling Dad No. 1 about it. She was a feisty, crazy, hissy thing that was a strange people cat on her own terms (sniffing toes or hands then biting them!). She is missed but also it is a relief to see her at peace because she was so old (in cat years - 98) and was suffering from arthritis and eating very little.

She is in a sunny spot now away from the others so they can't hassle her...

I must admit that it feels weird not having cats in the house, of course we have the dogs, geese and chooks but still not having a purring sun worshipper feels odd.

Social (or not so social calendar) Calendar Update

August 25th - Mr Grumps birthday. Was good, drank a little, made too much food, in bed by 11ish. The Fire Bucket of Friendship did its thing again and people flocked to it. Itwas a cool night but mild enough for people to sit around and chat and eat. Miss K and her boyf, Mr L came and Miss K brought good wine...shame I could'nt drink more of it - too busy fussing over people being fed...again.
September 8 and 9th - The Tavern of the Black wolf with Middle eastern food was a pretty good time had by all methinks. I was happy with how the food turned out and how people had a 'go' at eating most of the food. The Baqlawa of Radburne will be making a appearance again along with the Honey cake of Radburne...will I get a reputation?
Sunday the 9th was a wonderful day in the park in Wello - we had people having picnics and spending a day with us watching the fighties and asking questions. I am so happy that we will be having a every 2nd month thing at the park starting next year.
Now, I am on holidays from Uni but not uni work :( I have 4 assignments due the 2nd week back from holidays) so I won't be going to Spring War or Baronial Hunt.
I AM A BIT PISSED OFF AT THAT! - besides we can't afford it really.
October and November are going to be HUGE with events coming out of the wazoo and then starting prac, in that time we have to get to Sydney for 2 major events - a birthday party and a anniversary party, attend a weekend at Katrijn's for the Yellow Rose Tourney.
November 24 -25 - yess, that is how long we have to wait until we can do the Bike Riding course at Orange.....sheesh.
