What a week!

I can't believe it's just over a week since we got back from holiday. We've packed so much in!

I wasn't back at work last Monday. I had an important job to do. Off to the Cattery to collect two new kittens!!! So, on top of the four cats we already had, we now have two new additions. Meet Minnie and Coco!

They are super cute, and take up so much time! We're spending a lot of time with them, attempting to build up their confidence to become integrated with everyone else. It's a slow process. The other cats seem to be ok so far, but the kittens aren't straying downstairs yet. They're spending most of their time in DDs bedroom and are quite happy in there! It's going to take a little while before they're confident enough to bounce round the whole house.

And then Tuesday I was back at work, after ringing up to book Wednesday off. To take DD to London. For a photo shoot for Women's Running magazine. This all happened while we were on holiday. DD had gone home and entered a competition in the magazine not thinking anything of it. Three days after applying she had an email saying she'd been successful and needed to go for a photo shoot! She rang us while we were on holiday ( and thankfully a small pocket of phone signal). The question was - how to get to Wimbledon Common for 11.30 on Wednesday. The train would have taken hours, so she said she'd drive and stay overnight. As it would be a long and pretty scary drive I ended up going with her so we could share the drive. So, Tuesday night we headed south after DD finished work, and Wednesday morning we made our way to Wimbledon Common, with me doing the driving round London and DD navigating for me.

The photo shoot itself was good - she really enjoyed it and now has some fabulous running gear (the one with the white jacket).

And while we were off in London, DH ended up going home Tuesday night instead of staying away, so he could look after the animals, and then go back to work on Wednesday, and DD asked her boyfriend to call in on Wednesday to see to everyone before we got home on Wednesday night! ( thanks to the men for helping out).

Now all she has to do is train for a half marathon in November. In Bath. Over hills. Good luck DD!

Then back at work on Thursday, ladies lunch on Friday, DH's mums yesterday for lunch, to also catch up with DH's daughter as she was up for a few days, and then a fabulous walk in the Lake District today with DH, DD and DD's boyfriend.
