We had been talking about getting a cat for a while, but Joni had a few reservations. Rather stupidly for him on Sunday he used the phrase "If you really want a cat you should probably just get one." Well, what else could i do?
I tired cat rescue centres first, but they are such a hassle. They all insist on arranging to come see your house first, and Cats Protection took 6 days to call me back to arrange a visit. And as soon as they hear I live on a high street they practically hang up. So Louise (good friend, we have coffee when we are bored of working) suggested i try Gumtree, a sales website. And so six hours later we were just north of Dundee picking up a Kitten from a lovely, if slightly animal mad, woman with just one kitten left from a litter.
This is Tay Robbie Angus. We spent 4 days trying to pick a name, but couldn't decide so we went with 3. He is 7 weeks old and the cutest kitten in the world! Pretty much all we have done since we got him is play with him. His favourite game is chew Fiona's fingers, and he like to chase a feather duster. Its all very cliché. He doesn't really like being left on his own yet, so I took a couple of half days from work so i could play "look after" him. Hee Hee. Need to go back to work properly next week before my boss notices my absence.
This wouldn't be a blog post without an update on the garden, and once again the progress is amazing! I think we have finished excavating, there are plants down now! And grass seed, and decking! Im looking forward to next week sitting outside with my parents. Of course this is Scotland, so its going to rain from now until.... well until it snows but never mind. Here are some pictures anyway.
Look, deck! and a wall, and some plants and everything! Its sooo cool. BBQ party here we come!
