Yes, I know, it's been ages since I've posted. Her Indoors has been too preoccupied with her precious thesis to help me with the blog. Have you any idea how difficult it is to use a QWERTY keyboard with trotters? Anyway, she's finally submitted it (thank God), so at least she can get back to a more normal, healthy lifestyle - out in the sun, adoring me, rubbing my belly, feeding me snacks ... just the way it should be.

Meanwhile the Big Bloke's been making heaps of progress on the house. He spends a lot of time up on the mezzanine floor with his new drill. Now he has something decent to work with there's a lot less swearing than there used to be.

The photo above left shows views to the west from the lower floor; above right from the new mezzanine floor - very flash. And what a lovely view of me in my pen they'll have from up there ...
