Thank you.

Hello, and a BIG BIG whopping THANK YOU to everybody for your kind comments. You really are the bestest blog readers and followers that anyone could wish for. 
I am feeling a bit lost at the moment, trying to get used to the empty rooms upstairs where Heidi hung out. I always had to look for her because her favourite place changed that often. Window sills, inside the cupboard, in the bath or wash basin, any dark little hidey hole in the corner of a room. My duties started first thing in the morning and finished last thing at night. I went up and down the stairs fetching and carrying many times during the day. Two litter boxes to check and clean, food and water bowls to wash and replenish, now I have nothing to do. I wish she was still here. 
Mayze has been missing her, I have been giving her extra cuddles. Oscar comes and goes as usual, spending most of his time outside. Life goes on, now back to two cats. 
Today I made a pan of soup with veg that was given to me. Cabbage, courgette, celery, spring onions, potatoes, and a few peas that I nicked from the field. I whizzed it up with the stick blender so that has fed me for lunch and dinner today. It was lovely. 
Now my fridge is bare, I must go to Aldi to re stock. It's ten past seven and it's raining, so I reckon tonight will be a good time. Thanks for popping in.  ilona

    1. Aldi was easy, a couple of shoppers in there, £39 spent, in and out in half an hour. Sunny this morning.

  5. It is so hard to let pets go. I think cats do miss each other.

  6. Virtual hugs to you Ilona. Heidi couldn't have come to a better home when she did. She was loved.

    1. Yes, it's the hole left behind which is awful. I need to fill it by keeping busy.

  8. The pictures of Heidi yesterday looked so sweet. A black and white kitty is so beautiful. She looked like she was a good momma cat too. Best Wishes.

  10. Pets wrap themselves around our hearts, don't they? Take comfort from the fact that you gave her the best life and did the kindest thing for her at the end. xxx

  11. I am so sorry to hear about Heidi. Sweet little cat. I help out in a rescue shelter and the feelings of care and concern for them is much the same as those I have for my two at home, and in fact any cat (or other animal) I know or read about... Heidi was famous in her own right, along with your other furry friends. xx

  12. I had 12 glorious years with my dog Ceasar, when he passed away I had to reinvent my routine as it was tailored to him, what time we got up, had a nap, walks etc I still miss him every day. When we drop food now on the kitchen floor we used to grab it quick or Ceasar would gobble it up, it's weird to have it still there lol xxx
