The Dean

Was due to fly last night for two weeks 'mit den Familien' but visa expiry and non-renewal due to non-cancellation of no-longer-required daughter's visa ( still with me? ) meant that I would not have been allowed back again............ so - long queues and whatever at various official places meant cancelling flight, and rebooking it for Friday night......... phew............

I need a break........... in every sense............ have a good one everybody......

Staying here, moving between Christmas and New Year, planning on being chilled on a beach as much as possible.

Leaving Sunday for 2 or 3 weeks back in the emerald isle, 50% chance of going skiing at some point if the opportunity arises. 100% chance of taking part in the annual new year's forestry motorbike race crash-athon.
Other spare time will be spent with family and friends, hopefully with a elbow resting against long wooden counter hoisting back Guinness.

Happy Christmas to everyone and happy new year

I'm off to Nepal for 12 days next Tuesday, fancied doing something a bit different.
Xmas day in Kathmandu then off on tiger safari for a few days followed by hiking up a mountain or two.

Spent 5k on mine a few years back after he fell out of a tree- hip surgery. He was half shaved and had the light shade on the head for a bit of amusement for the money. Had to have him put down last NYE due to cat cancer. Only 3 and v healthy looking but I'd have had to keep getting his lungs emptied. Still many others queuing to take his place in our hearts. Feed 4 at the mo.

We have three looking for homes at the moment, all were stray kittens now all soppy things that live outside but are desperate to be inside!

Say what you want about Dubai duty free ( and I often do considering it's more expensive than shopping in Dubai) but 44% of original staff retained for 30 years and 1.8 billion in sales is pretty phenomenal

Our new one eyed monster finally met the resident cat last night, Slept in her house, Ate her food then took a shit in her litter - All with the arrogance of a frenchman. Resident cat took it pretty well.

I am now not looking at any facebook groups or websites putting cute pictures of cats up for adoption..........2 is enough for me.

That's what I said. I have three.
