Exile
Sunday - All the troops assembled at the homestead for Sunday lunch, whilst yours truly stayed upstairs, alone. Sounds of laughter permiated up the stairs, the offspring cautiously popped their heads around the doors and enquired as to my well-being, I just lay in the bed, surrounded by cats. I had been struck down by a vicious tummy-bug of unknown origin. Luckily, I felt so bad that I didn't mind the exile, I was in no mood for close proximity to people or food.
Eldest daughter was putting forward her name suggestions for Baby Beanie, it is still Tinkerbell for a girl, whilst the top-runner for a boy is Flair. She has always been a trifle eccentric, an individual, but I am now seriously worried, is she joking? I really hope so.

Oh well, she has plenty of time to retrain her thought processes! |
