...when you're having fun!! Life has been just hectic lately and I've had no time to log on for weeks. The wedding plans are coming along nicely (check out the Gonna Be Wed thread for all the details). We are advancing well with our immigration to New Zealand. Our application has been...

Two more of the rescue ponies came to the end of their journeys recently. Rest in peace ladies. Magpie was a Piebald cob, about 29 years old. She was very arthritic and also blind in one eye. Although she had daily supplements for her arthritis, it had gotten very bad and she was in a lot of...

It was 2 years ago today - 11th March 2005 - when we said goodbye to Charley. Things have never quite been the same since and the hole in my heart is still there. But I remember her with a smile and with many happy memories. Miss you wee puss. Wish you were here.

We lost one of the Lluest ponies today Her name was Della... You had 33 wonderful years Della and today life just caught up with you. It's been a difficult winter for you, losing first condition, and then your best friend Metro. Since then, things just haven't been the same. No longer...

Not cats this time, but horses Since we moved to Wales I've been spending Thursdays helping out at a charity trust centre that rescues and rehabilitates horses and ponies. Thought you might like to meet the residents: http://www.lluesthorseandponytrust.org.uk/index.htm "Lluest" is Welsh for...

Let me take you back a few weeks in time, when Rich and I were sitting around in Switzerland waiting for the snow to arrive (as we mad-keen skiers do every year). We sat and we sat and we sat some more but that snow just never showed. Zoom forward to present time... we are literally snowed-in...

I haven't managed to get on much lately as life has been just hectic (working part-time has just made me question how I ever had time to work full-time before!!). Anyway, I feel totally out of the loop on all these points, gifts and stuff that I'm seeing on everyone's profile! Guess I have...

We're getting cut off tomorrow for the move, so I won't be online for about a week until we get set up in Wales. So I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I hope everyone's dreams come true in 2007.

As some of you know, I've been struggling with anaemia (and it's side effects) this year. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88095 I just got the results of follow-up blood tests and even though I've been taking daily iron supplements, my haemoglobin hasn't changed at all since...

Robbie is playing a gig live on air from Vienna. I am listening via the internet http://www.coolfm.co.uk How cool is this? I am going to Bern to see him in concert so this is a great sneak preview!

So another neighbourhood cat has decided to adopt me. He's a cute little grey-white thing although he's all skin and bones with quite a few scars here and there. He won't let me pick him up although he does let me pet him. I managed to snap a picture of him today. This is his "feed me" look...

Hi everyone I hope this finds you all well. I have been out of action for a few weeks with various health problems: flu, diagnosed anaemic, heart palpitations (spent several hours strapped to an ECG machine thinking I was having a heart attack!), 5cm fribroid (benign and "not a problem"...

so I took the day off today because I feel rotten... I've had sore ears and swollen glands for a couple of days, so I knew something was up. Then yesterday, fever hit - I was sweating buckets after walking to work (5 minutes DOWNhill!). I picked up some NeoCitran at the pharmacy (it's like...

I am going to Dallas in a couple of weeks for a conference with work. I don't know if I'll have any free time, but if I do get a couple of hours, what are the "not-to-be-missed" things about Dallas? Thanks

So Rich is finally going to make an honest woman of me He proposed Friday night, on bended knee, here at home! Even though we've talked about it a little, I was still gobsmacked, lost for words and did shed (a few) tears He picked the ring himself - he bought it in Wales and he did a GREAT...

Any St Patrick weekend stories to tell? We went straight to the pub after work for a few jars of Guinness then we ran into a bunch of friends that we hadn't seen for ages - the "craic was ninety" as we say! Then we went back to the pub yesterday to watch Ireland triumph over England in the...

.... 11th March 2005, the day one year ago when we lost you. I remember the pain of that day and how I cried like a baby when I knew it would be your last day with us. I remember how I comforted my brave father who was there with you in your last moments and who was so upset to lose you...
