Fellow readers,
Have you ever had the frustrations of moving from one place to another and having to get things onto a computer that you are unfamilar with in ten minutes flat. That's me today. The one I was on the other day kept telling me I had not got the photos on - but today i find they are there in my Talking Weather story. The next one wouldn't let me load a picture at all, so you had my story on the pet lambs. Now I can load my picture of the pet lamb - with the cat- and guess what, I can't load up a story I had written. There is something to be said for taking your own lap-top when heading for the country - ie travelling, for at least everything will be familiar for you and provided you can find a place with an internet connection that doesn't close down before 5pm, then you will be right as rain.

The picture - that goes with my Pet lamb story also proves something that you may not know - cats will make friends with anyone. Our cat even hung around to lick the milk from this lamb's chin after a feed. Also I will never believe the old myth that cats and dogs don't get on. We have had about eight dogs (not all at the same time) on our farm and three different cats. If they are the ones that live in the same house, they are always friends. In fact our dogs know that if the cat didn't go into the house and annoy hell out of the owners to be fed, they would probably have to wait longer for tea too. Cats do do the disappearing act when other dogs come by, but that is different.

More next time. I hope - it's 5 o'clock!!!! Bumpkin.
