Aug. 22nd, 2003 08:14 pmOooh, it's nice to be home! I'd just like to thank the people who seemed to be pleased to see me back on LJ - I was ever so pleased to see you lot!
It's the cats, of course, who are the most ecstatic. Because we arrived in the wee small hours they were both tucked up asleep in their second homes and it wasn't until the next morning that Chivers realised we were back and Marmalade didn't put in an appearance until tea time. Both remained in close physical contact for a good 48 hours and demanded feeding a dozen times a day - just as though they really had been abandoned for two weeks. Cats are such drama queens.
Any way here's another bit of 'What I did on my Holidays' assuming anyone is interested. ( Read more... )
Despite kids, heat, mosquitos and far too much wine, I did do some writing and so here another bit of Roseblade's Challenge - now completed and ready for posting. The big problem is that it hasn't been betaed so any advice or feedback would be most welcome. Oh and …errrr…well, I suppose I should say fluff alert at this point.
( Read more... )More later in the week.
Now for some really good news! We got Mike's results today and he had passed all nine of his GCSEs, scoring an A, four Bs, three Cs, a D and he even managed to scrape a pass with a G for Welsh. Of course, with a little more revision he would have had a couple more As and B and fewer Cs but never mind - he will be able to stay on at school in September instead of having to leave and become a trolley catcher for Tescos! So, well done Mike!! He had said he didn't want to know but I thought I'd take the load off his mind and sent him a text message reading "Well, do you want to know or not cleverclogs xxx Mum" which was reassuring enough for him to tring straight back to get the gen! He'll be home next Wednesday and I imagine he and his mates will be partying.
