A long day nearly at a close. I did my usual one hour brisk walk before work. I had to pop out of work in the afternoon as I had an appointment with the optician. That went very well, no change in my prescription (there hasn't really been any change in about twenty years) but I am getting new glasses anyway as mine are all scratched and the frames are on their last legs. Optician pleased with my eyes and I can delay any need for reading glasses for another few years. I will be having a new type of coating on my new specs which will supposedly reduce glare from car headlamps. I'm looking forward to that if it works. Costly, so it better work!

I then did my grocery shopping and a few other bits and pieces when I was out and about so had some time to work up this evening.

It's fireworks seasons. Sounds like the gunfight at the OK Corral is happening outside.

It's like there's a battle going on when that starts here, or a car has just exploded on the street.

Three times in one week, it's been walloped. Can people not read?

You'd think he'd realise he couldn't fit under after the first time.

I loved that show, although Mrs.GA did not find it as humorous as I did.

I am tucked up in bed with the laptop and a big mug of tea. Feels odd not to have a cat beside me.

yeah, as they pass under the sign

we have a bridge like that in Boston, that gets hit very often on Storrow Drive. they call it "getting storrowed"

Definitely a cuddler. Am open to getting a bonded pair, but if I get just one, it needs to be OK with other cats so that I've the option of adding a second at some point in the future.

At the moment I've kind of stalled. Am currently going through a load of rescues I've been recommended, and discarding the ones that are a) too far to travel, b) I don't meet their adoption criteria or c) they choose which cat you get matched up with. Unfortunately, that rules out about 80% of possibilities.

And my cat fancy friends mean well, but they're just not being sensible or paying attention to what I'm looking for. And no, I'm not travelling to Accrington to view a longhaired kitten. (I don't want a longhair and I don't want anything younger than 2 years of age).

I'm really missing my best friend fostering for Ely CP - I got my last four cats from her, always the right cat at the right time. Now I don't have that anymore and looking for a suitable cat is just a nightmare.

And on that note, I'm off to get some sleep via a nice hot bath.

Nunnight one and all xxx
