Another day driving a desk...

09:05
It dawned on me, laid in the bath last night, that I hadn't updated ye olde blog and yet I don't know what I want to say. This one might take all day to write so it might look disjointed and bitty...

09:48
Well that's me on top of things at this moment it time so I'll just take a minute to add a bit more. I've just been having a look at what my employee's handbook says and it requests that nothing be written in any blogs that may identify the company, criticise the company's employees or in any way bring the company's name into disrepute. Fair enough, given what has happened in the past with other companies and bloggers. Just means that, in effect I can't say much more than it's an independent fostering provider based in London. So you'll have to miss out on all those neat things that happen and the gossip, worries and concerns we have in the office...

mischief squared!Speaking personally, its not been a bad time recently at the homestead. Ally is starting her new job, on a part-time basis, on better money and more realistic hours as well. I should be confirmed son as having completed my probation at work satisfactorily and the cats (they're no longer kittens, see pic!) are now full of it.

Midnight, in the pink collar, loves a breakfast cuddle. As soon as I sit down with my porridge, she vaults onto my lap and stays there until I have to move to get ready to go out. She's not scared of spending longer either. Last night I sat down watching football on the TV, she jumped up onto my lap, and wriggled upwards until she was laid on my chest where she stayed for the whole of the first half (about 45 minutes), she knows how to claim her place! Lightning however, isn't so much of a cuddle-n-fuss cat but she'll come and ask for attention in her own way. She's the noisiest of the two and believe me she can really sound off if she really wants to! Her worst habit is attacking my toes through the duvet, when she can get into our bedroom. It tickles!

back I am...

PhotobucketAfter the snarg that was last month, I've managed to get back on line and this time I have a new picture to share with you all.

Doesn't it look pretty, the pristine snow on the delightful wheely bins....

Apparently this is the worst snow in London for 18 years or so. Means I can't get into work today. Hey-ho, its a poor day that doesn't give some joy in it. I'm not even sure about tomorrow either, so we shall just have to wait and see.
