Spoon heads home and a moan

This afternoon Spoon went home to his family and will be sorely missed here. Having said that I can't see me having another pet of any description, they do rule your life! No doubt he'll be back next year...
Peter's bike was poorly, something about gears, brakes and another flat rear tyre, a slow puncture! Took it to the bike shop and they cured it so he's buzzed off this afternoon, round Kent somewhere.
On Tuesday night I played host to a stray guest who'd arrived in the UK and surfaced in Ramsgate about 10 o'clock in the evening. Frantic phone call from you know where; could I accommodate him for one night? Well it's Wednesday night and he's still here with a view to going to new accommodation tomorrow. Oh and he hardly speaks a word of English but that didn't stop him buying a carrier bag of snack food from Iceland. Well, it's good for the town's economy!
This morning's post included some stuff my surveyor required to complete his report on the rubbish job the contractors did of decorating the outside of my house. Every 't' has to be crossed and 'i' dotted and compliance with all the latest H & S edicts, I'm glad the professionals understand it and why the completed job is a patchy excuse for what should've been the 'icing on the cake'. I'll stop wingeing and just wait for the report to be produced. As I keep saying 'watch this space'.

Dentist and Spoon

Just got back from a trip to the dentist... As nice as they are at my dental practice; I still feel a fear which I can't explain. It doesn't get any better with age and the latest technology does nothing to reduce the apprehension that builds up from thinking about it; days or even weeks before. The funny thing is, you know that if you experience dental pain they will make you feel better after a few visits. Doesn't make any difference but anyway all's now well and I can give that confident smile again until the next time!
Spoon has settled in as usual and is now ruling the house and everybody in it. He comes first for mealtimes and has decided to keep changing where he'll settle for this visit. This means that his special blanket has to be moved each time otherwise you get a tell tale trace of black cat hair for some unsuspecting soul to sit on! He makes the most of somebody always being at home, this is not what he's used to so, of course, feeding is lttle and often, He's good to talk to although the conversation is a bit one sided!
I can hear movement downstairs and my tum is rumbling so it must be feeding time or very close to it.

fur and pointed ears...

Yes, I missed yesterday but be assured I kept busy. With showing the new encumbant around locally to prepare him for the coming week and of course keeping the place 'spick and span'. The day of rest disappeared and here's Monday and another glorious week ahead... Spoon arrived for another two week holiday while his family have gone to the island of Crete. If you want to know what he looks like go onto my website www.mitchellandfriends.com and scroll down the friends page. Yes, he's got fur, pointed ears and by human standards he's about 105 years old!
