Feel like absolute poo today, tbh - two glasses of ginger wine made me feel really awful last night, and have done nothing for the cold - but at least it has broken now and hopefully it'll be gone in a few days.
Lisa - she's so funny, she really does pose for the camera
Love your hiding kitty pics - so cute! My Mum's cats used to love getting under duvets, piles of laundry, into the backs of cupboards, and they used to ruckle up the carpet runners to make mini tunnels then get in those too. The little rascals!
Afternoon Susie, sorry the ginger wine did not agree with you, my late FiL used to mix it with scotch............extremely lethal stuff then!! Hope your cold soon budges xxx Excellent Orby pics btw xxx
TG for nurofen, the wonder drug - it has dried up my nose a bit (not that you really needed to know that lol).
Here's my Provence holiday itinerary - one month and two days to go!
9-Day Break

Day 2 – Continue south to Orange, Provence, for a four-night stay. B,D
Day 3 – Aix-en-Provence Included visit to the delightful former capital of Provence, known as ‘the city of a thousand fountains’. B,D
Day 4 – Pont du Gard and Avignon Optional excursion to see the Pont du Gard, an impressive aqueduct dating back to 19BC, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site, then the walled city of Avignon, whose Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) dates back to when Avignon was the residence of the Pope. See also, the Pont St. Bénézet, the famous broken bridge referred to as the ‘Pont d’Avignon’. B,D
Day 5 – Marseille and Cassis Optional excursion, first to Marseille, with its Old Town, harbour, 35 miles of gorgeous coastline, Marché à la Criée (old fish market area with theatre) and the Château d’If (the prison in Dumas’ ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’).

Day 6 – Nîmes En route to the Dordogne region, we make a short visit to Nîmes, founded by Emperor Augustus in the 2nd century AD. Some call Nîmes the ‘Rome of France’, on account of its arena, similar to the Colosseum. Continue to Rocamadour for a two-night stay. B,D

Don't worry, I'm trying a couple of house/pet sitter websites, but if I get stuck she can go and stay with her Auntie Angela, where she used to live, so it's familiar to her
Right, I'm off to bed - am shattered today. Is it the weekend yet????
