I've seen ds twice already - once back home when he came to play a gig and once at his uni when I went up there to see a band with him. He's back again this Friday to go to see a band with his dad. No sign of any washing having been done yet

After the horrible time SweetPea had last year I was worried about her going back, but she seems to be thriving again. Marigold is settling well too. I'm missing them both and it's taking a bit of time to get used to the house without them, but getting there

I think she's mainly looking forward to being with the cats again, and having access to everything she needs for baking!

Groundhog Oct 2024 2:17pm, 24 Oct 2024 6,554 posts	Quote Pin Groundhog I had a chat with DD yesterday after I had heard from my mum that she'd been in tears on the phone with her. I think she was a bit upset about not being able to see her school friends as one of them who didn't go to uni had gone to visit her other friend in Bristol. She also lamented not being able to go out to interesting Indy bands as none of her new friends are into that kind of music. Anyway, that was an excuse to book to see Bug Club in Leicester with her, then do parkrun together the next morning. That will be a nice little trip.
