. . . because both Fr's and Ca's babes were born today!
Ca and Da's arrived 10.01 this morning ~ a little boy weighing in at 9lb 2 oz
and Fr and Al's at 1.37 this afternoon ~ another 'little' boy weighing 10lb 14 oz
both mothers and both sons doing well
I wish I could blog their names as they are both really nice ones ~ Ca's babe will be referred to on here at RP and Fr's will be know as Dpip ~ a brother for Lpip!
I think I can truly say: the entire family will go to bed tired but happy!

poor tully
my poor cat tullus has been poorly
he was limping a little on thursday night when i arrived home but he didn't want to show me his paw and then he seemed better friday morning, and when i came home from work and then bad again at bed time.
i took him to the vet on saturday and he stayed in overnight while they had a look at him (he wasn't at all happy with any of us!)
i was able to collect him early sunday afternoon by which time he had been sedated and x-rayed, had his paw shaved and been bathed and medicated.
i brought him home, opened his basket and he shot off into the shrubbery ~ very very speedily despite only being able to run on three paws!
poor tully, not the most sociable of cats where non-residents (ie everyone bar me) are concerned so he didn't come back until all my visitors had left.
i managed to bathe his foot ~ though he really didn't like it and gave him his medication (mixed in with his supper so he didn't mind that!!) and he passed a peaceful night.
i'm pleased to say he seems very much better now, the swelling has almost gone and he is walking on the paw again.
tomorrow we go back to the vet's for a quick check up ~ but i think he will be ok
poor tully ~ and he's such a timid cat!

with a bing and a bong and a buzz buzz buzz
whenever st sends me an e-mail she doesn't put in a subject line ~ just gets a random one. i don't know why ~ i don't get them . . . maybe she has signed up for them? . . . i don't know . . .
anyway, they are usually funny ~ here's an example: 'the ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind' hahahahaha!!
the title of this blogging is the one i received the other day and it's my favourite so far. it makes me think of hugh laurie in 'blackadder goes forth' ~ and maybe it is a direct quote? i don't know that either but i like to think it is an example of typical brit humour . . . but perhaps it isn't . . .
lots of good things have been happening lately ~ ma and ke celebrated their first wedding anniversary and ma's birthday with a party in their garden, im had a super-duper confirmation and celebration and i had a lovely afternoon with fr last week. st, ri and the pies were down last week-end and we visited with o and g and went to a little park just over the High Road where there is a duck pond. o and g are settling in very happily. they had to buy a load of new furniture as most of what they had in the house was far too large for the flat. but they managed to get some good stuff including a very posh sofa and chair. i went shopping with o and i must say it was lots of fun watching o spending on herself!!
no news yet on either newbee or c and d's iminent arrival ~ fr's 'due date' is today and ca's some time later this week . . . . EXCITING!!!!!

it is about time . . .
I wrote on here again!
life has been very busy.
Fr has finished work and is waiting for Newbee to arrive. Lpip is as excited as a big sister who has something to be excited about and is practising being gentle with splendid results! She went to stay with St and Ri and the Pies for a few days soon after Fr finished work and had a lovely time with them.
O&G have moved! yay! They moved out and took possession of the flat on Friday but are staying with me until Er Ja and I have decorated the sitting room and kitchen for them. We having been working like billy-oh up there, have very nearly finished and are hoping to move all the sitting room bits in tomorrow while O gets in and stocks up the beautifully-cleaned-by-Ja kitchen. It has all been a huge laugh with the usual barrage of insults bandied about between the three of us (E J and me I mean!)
Not a great deal of stitching or knitting has been going on as the new job, whilst continuing very enjoyable and interesting, is quite a few more hours per week and I don't have as much spare time as previously. And I don't want to lose any of the social bits!!
And the 'book pile' is growing into a veritable Great Wall on China on my bedside table!
