Off to the Lake District today to co-incide with Ann’s birthday. A shame Ann’s major pressy didn’t arrive in time. We’re staying at ‘High Wray’ Farm in Ambleside for a few days… Off to an unplanned Italian meal at ‘PGs’, 21a Stramongate in Kendal The Silver Pussy returned 33.2 mpg on the journey here

Jaguar Delivery day…
The Jaguar is scheduled to be delivered today… Looking at the weather, I don’t think it’ll be a day to test its top speed! …but maybe a good day to test the ABS and DSC!!!!

Picked up Bubsy’s ashes tonight. I think we’ll place them next to Mumsy’s…
Bubsy’s ashes…
We heard from the Vet last night, that Bubsy’s ashes are ready to be picked up… 🙁
Valentine Blog
Well that was a spooky coincidence. I spent ages trying to decide which slushy CD to buy Ann, only to find she’d bought it for me too!
Quiet and Empty Blog
I think we both agreed that the house feels very empty without our cats…and quiet too! Even though they hardly made a sound. We’ve decided that we’ll look into getting some kittens later this year… …probably Persians (again!) and/or Chinchillas
Indian Blog
Off to our favourite Indian restaurant in Rothwell, ‘Taste of India‘ to celebrate Valentine’s Day…
Bubsy RIP…
Bubsy seems to have deteriorated overnight. She can hardly walk now. I think it’s fair that we take a decision this evening when we get home fromm work before she suffers anymore. We’re both pretty upset about it, and poor puss doesn’t seem to have a clue what’s going on around her… Came home to …

Bubsy and the Vet’s comments
Spoke with the Vet this morning, who more or less said that it’s ‘down to us’ now about what we do. The Vet was very sympathetic and said that if we have to bring Bubsy in for the ‘final injection’, they’ll ensure we’re treated with respect and not asked to wait in the crowded surgery… …

Bubsy’s progress
It seems that Bubsy has returned to her lethargic state (in spite of the drugs) We’ll need to ring the vet tomorrow to let her know :((
Turkish Blog
Met up with Angela and the gang to celebrate her Birthday. Ozers serves up a super Turkish meal
Bubsy…
We’re both out at work today, so we hope she’ll be OK. She seems much the same. But considering her condition, she’s certainly very alert
Bubsy’s progress
She looked a little better today, but I guess that’s the drugs. Ann and I will have to make a difficult decision sometime soon!
A Sad Blog…
Bubsy has been very lethargic the last few days, so we thought we had better get her checked out. Fourteen years for a Persian is pretty good going! …but we learned today, after getting the results of her blood test that she’s a very sick cat! 🙁 🙁 🙁 The Vet reckons she hasn’t got …

DVLA Blog
Wow! Is this complex or what? The plan is to move Ann’s number plate to the Mondeo, and then, reassign a standard plate to Ann’s Mercedes. Then, remove the existing registration plate on the Mondeo and hold it ‘on retention’ until I find my next car. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! and a cheque for 80+105 pounds. …

Well, finally managed to get time to remove the satellite broadband dish from the side of the house. It was always a bit of an eye-sore, but it served its purpose over the last two years whilst broadband wasn’t available here through the traditional wired route…
