It's really brassed off co's it cant miaow in Welsh,so is treated like a leper in the local cat community'
But convinced it will get it's own back somhow.
next doors Jack Russel looks decidedly nervous lol us

Someone once told me that if you were in a lift and it lost its bearings and came crashing down, you had a 50/50 chance of not being hurt if you jumped up and down ------ the theory being that if you were in mid air at the moment of impact, your spine wouldn't be compacted..........

Naive person (me) believed every word

Self conscious person (also me) never quite got up the nerve to jump up and down "just in case" - well, would you?

so - if that lift ever does crash, I'd be very seriously injured, but at least my pride would be intact!

Lol Sue

Ah but pride comes before a fall my friend.
Going up now . going to to Brize Norton tommorow to greet number 2 son back from Afghanistan.
Emotonal day all round me thinks.
Back Sunday take care and sleep well us

You must be very, very proud of him, US. That's a job that takes some guts and one that doesn't get the thanks it deserves.

Maybe see you on Sunday, friend
