How strange! I wonder what it was he really wanted? 
(Apart from an early breakfast, of course...)

I was looking for a forum on which to put only good news as I have had a nice bit of news today myself. However, I couldn't find one so here it is. No grousing, no disasters, just good news. Oh yes - my good news concerns my DiL who has today been interviewed for and been successful in getting a new job as assistant head teacher of a highly successful comprehensive school. She deserves it - she has a brilliant track record in her present school both as a subject teacher and as a manager. When I spoke to her, she was deservedly enjoying

Ana His feet are rather pretty. He's also very strong. He now knows, that if he barges into the kitchen door at full speed - it opens.
An amusing little story to tell you.
Rory has taken to making weird, strangled whinges at around six in the morning. I pretend not to hear him. After a good deal of padding around and nudging disturbing Mr soop, he managed to get a very early breakfast. After which, he continued to be "bothersome." Mr soop asked him [the cat] do you want to go outside? The cat stared at Mr soop and wouldn't budge an inch. Mr soop coaxed cat outside with a gentle shove - using the floppy end of the mop. Cat sat outside and continued to protest [loudly]. Mr soop relented. It was beginning to rain. Mr soop called cat back indoors, after which, he proceeded to dry his damp fur with kitchen towel. At 6:30 cat settles down and Mr soop tries to get back to sleep. 
That looks rather good, soop! 
(BTW just looking at Rory's pics again - I've never noticed before what dainty feet he has!)
I've uploaded pic of Torben's first cake. His mummy weighed the ingredients. He did the rest. Yoghurt and date. She tells me that he's watching it as it cools. 
I'm off to brew a pot of tea and open the Scottish shortbread biscuits.
Come on Scotland! You can do it!
Flower of Scotland, when will we see your likes again... etc etc

I have just done loads of housework and it feels so nice to be in a clean and tidy house
I am on my own for a few hours! Theseus has gone off to pick up two DGDs at an Exeter service station (DS2 is flying over to Ireland to play rugby and DDiL is national atheltics coaching somewhere)
After the last five weeks with T, much as I love him, it is good to have a little calm and quiet.
He saw the physio today who told him he had made superb progress, then put him on the turbo charger bike; he is all chuffed with himself.
Now, what shall I have for lunch.....
It's Friday, and we always have and nibbles before supper on a Friday evening. Definitely something to be happy about

So I won't have to shout at you any more, Greatnan? (just joking!)
