Do you have purpose in your life?

Same here, except for the cats.

HildaW hope things get a little better for you, if walking the dog makes you feel better, then maybe a few more walks, i'm sure the dog would enjoy! and sometimes being out you may meet another body, just to say "hello " to, easy for us to say "do this" "do that". it's very hard when you have to force yourself.

Bags As Rory cannot read - yet - he isn't too bothered that you're not a fan. He's in skitty kitty mode - lolling and rolling over in the sun-warmed gravel of the drive.

Do you mean you haven't taught him literacy yet? Is he numerate?
You're being as bad with that cat as nellie is with Donald (a dog of distinction you will recall)
I bet HE knows a subjunctive is though!

And he can type - nellie taught him!

At this point, Rory, he of uncertain parentage, yawns, stretches, opens one eye, closes it, goes back to sleep. He's such an uncomplicated feline.

Oh [says she quickly and defensively!], I am a Rory fan; I just don't have cats of my own! Do pass on the message, soop. [wipes brow]

Bags I opened the window and whispered your message...he doesn't approve of loud noises...not when he's been lolling for the best part of the day with little to think about other than...when am I going to find a friendly female with whom I may frolic.

Soop? Does mr soop know?

I'm waiting until I'm grown up to decide the purpose of my life.

dear jeni...know what?

Yes he does jeni I asked him and he said he had been reading over my shoulder,and he went and googled it

He's even Googling now, is he?

A dog of distinction indeed!

Yes he has done rather well for him self he is waiting to start work in the local newsagents delivering papers ......

Surely that's a bit beneath him now, nellie? He should at least be aspiring to be a bonio fide postman!

Ouch!

ana

Bonio Fide . Brilliant!

Thank you!

That's really clever nag
I think he is worried about being a postman.. He might get bitten by a human
Delivering papers is a stop gap since the scorching incident he wants to train as a plastic surgeon to help others similarly afflicted,I always encourage such dogged determination.

nellie!

Perhaps he should train as a dentist, specialising in the canine teeth?

He is keeping his options open,but his other choice is going into the ministry....so he can wear a dog collar..

He'd probably make as much sense as some of the collared villains I've heard!
