An Award and An Update

It is very hot here - get me some more water please Mum!
My good friend Moki gave me this wonderful award - Thank you so much Moki, it is very much appreciated.

I have tried to find cats that haven't received this award - but it seems to have done the rounds, so if you haven't received it yet please feel free to award it to yourself - I am sure you are very inspiring!


As many of you know, my Mum's kidney's are failing (they are working at 17% of normal) and sometimes she doesn't feel very good, she feels lethargic and sometimes the toxins in your body give you painfull joints and make you nauseous. The people she works for are wonderful people and they decided that it would be best for Mum if she came into work at 10:00 in the morning rather than her usual 8:00 from now on (all for the same pay). Isn't that the nicest thing ever! Mum sometimes takes home work to do, but it is much easier to do at home than at the office. Mum is still very busy, but hopefully things will quiet down after the auditors leave in mid-August.


Thank you all for visiting me while I was not blogging - because of the Mum, sigh.... She does try to get around to a few blogs every day, but I won't be happy until she gets back to blogging every day!
