Hopefully Tuesday evening I'll get new kitten, very small and young, She's only 8 weeks but I guess the people that have them want them out.

Miserable weather day, fInally decided I couldn't put it off any longer and walked down to T***o as I'm very short of porridge oats.
Made two loaves of bread, happily the first one came out Ok enough to give to my neighbour as a Birthday present.

Think I'll go to bed and hope the weather is better tomorrow.

Just to be aware, at 8 weeks she's still not old enough to be away from mum and siblings, likely won't be very well socialised and will only just be properly weaned. Recommended age for homing a kitten is 13 weeks, as the age between 6 to 12 weeks is very important for kittens to learn how to be a cat.

Trouble is, most people want (mostly non-pedigree) kittens as 6 weeks, by the time they're 8 weeks, they're too old to sell. That's how I ended up with Poppy - she was handed over to the branch of Cats Protection that I volunteer for at 9 weeks because she wasn't commercially viable anymore. Though I was lucky, because my other cat, Pearl, took Pops under her wing, became her "mum" and taught her what she needed to know, albeit a little later than ideal.

So you will need to be patient with your new wee girl.

Oh, and we'll be wanting lots of photos!!!

I was trying to remember the brand the other day, is it something like guilyan?

I finally emptied my old shed this afternoon/evening. Most of the stuff has been moved to the garage, the rest will go into the skip when that arrives.

Also, when that skip arrives, I shall be indulging in a therapeutic bout of violence, involving the old shed and a big hammer.

Yep, Guylian.

I got a job lot on clearance after Christmas.

That's only a few large bars of chocolate.

Hmm, there's a 24 inch wheel rigid Raleigh MTB (15 inch compact frame) up for grabs at the local tip for £25... Am debating whether to bite. Will probably want a bit of work and upgrading the drivetrain. And a better saddle.

My old Emmelle (I know, I know...) has a horizontal top tube and a 19 inch seat tube and is just that bit too big.

Yeah, but unlike some, I'm not one for putting a sizeable dent in that lot in one go.
