I only seem to be posting sad things at the moment
A very, very good friend Ruth who I work with (the one with the yurt) had to have her beautiful German Shepherd dog Poppy put to sleep yesterday. Poppy was 12 and her hindquarters went all of a sudden. The vet who knows Poppy very well as she'd been treated for an immune system disease for four years came out to her and said that the best thing was ( Read more... ) -
Aftermath
Dave found out this morning that one of the people who died yesterday in the shootings was a solicitor, Kevin Commons that he'd dealt with on a number of occasions through work.

Cat woes (no, not my cat)

Murdoch needs to be defied, the sheeple keep being fed the same prejudiced drivel by the antipodean monomaniac and scared into voting for the same old same old. Surely it's time for a change to make all votes count the same as each other. -
Can I haz a rerun?
Totally and utterly unimpressed and depressed about how the election results are going at the moment. I feel sick :(
Also, intermittent internet access as we're driving back from SW Wales isn't helping my mood - I want 21 inch monitor internet access, not small screen, rather rubbish 3G accessed internet.
