Hrmph! Here's another absentee wiblogger emerging from the shadows, after a long-time dalliance over on blogger. The innards of Musings are working, I'm glad to say; reading Chelly's warning about the prevalence of pork luncheon meat prompted me to stir myself and log on again. I appear to be spam free, thank goodness, even if my stats have that lonely, moth-eaten look to them. I do still read some of you regularly though via the listing on my other blog and I loved meeting up with some of you earlier in the year at Smudgie's licencing. So, what's been going on down our way since my last post here? Well, the late, great Miffcat Mk3 has been replaced by moggie Mk4, aka Tigercat - a rather skew-whiff, feisty chap, with a passion for hunting games and an apparent allergy to vets. This last probably resulting from his experiences after a horrible road traffic accident back in his misspent youth. Jekyll and Hyde just isn't in it, as Mr M and I, one vet and a vetinary nurse can certify. At the sight of a needle he transforms from 'Simon's Cat' into a spitting, scratching, growling devil. Ouch. But we love him all the same. He's certainly leaving his mark - usually in the form of a little 'present,' in front of his litter box for me to discover at crack of dawn. The offspring are pottering along nicely. Ms M is well established in graphic design now; Mstr M currently working on his masters disertation:Umpteen thousand words on Gormenghast in the style of an autopsy report, anyone? And Mr M? Well, he's gradually getting back into cycling after a year or so's break. Myself? Well, still 'Seabirding,' (are you still around, Rosamundi?); being on the area team for this has been a fair old learning curve for me. As has the process of getting involved in giving spiritual direction, following on from training some years back. Does anyone remember those cryptic entries about my trips down to the land of seabirds and brisk sea breezes? Most of my online musing goes on now over at Growing Greenpatches but I'll try and get back over here more often, I promise.
