We are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for a cats feeding station. VT noticed a new little kitty in our back garden, this one is a black one, small one with tiny bits of white on it. There is always a plastic bowl of cat biscuits which are out for the little ginger girl, and this one was helping itself. It looked pretty hungry judging by the way it was gobbling down the biscuits, but it might just be that they are a different variety from what it is used to.Very timid one though, it ran off under the back gate when VT opened the door.So that's another to add to the list.
We went out to Maghull this morning to have a look round. Very blowy it was too. I had a look in the Bon Marche where they were having a %20 off everything sale, but didn't actually see anything too exciting. Bought a top which isn't great, might return that, and a pair of trousers which are fine. Nothing shouting out at me today though. Went into the Superdrug there which I didn't like because I couldn't find anything! It's funny how you get used to the layout of different shops, and I found it difficult to find what I needed. Stick with the Ormskirk one.
Bright point though, VT called in at the Maghull garden centre on the way back and bought me a coffee. Very nice it was too,even nicer for having it bought for me.
Went past a new wstate of houses being built at Sefton Mill by Persimmons builders. There was a great big notice there which said..."300 faults in the house" as seen on Watchdog..Oh dear, you wouldn't buy a house there would you.
VT was a bit concerned about his exhaust the other day, and took it to the garage for a check. They said it was fine, but there was a bit at the end that was a little low. He pumped up his tyres to give him more clearance and it seems to have done the trick. Cause...Speed Bumps!! The man at the garage said that they get a lot of extra work because of speed bumps. There are two villages that we go through on the way to and from Maghull, and they now have many and varied speed bumps in them. Some of them are terrible, you can really feel the thump as you go over them, and they are getting quite worn now with the bad weather too, so you get potholes either side. Pain in the neck.They seem to be bringing the garages a lot of extra work though.At least they are doing someone a favour.
Ordered some more books yesterday from The Book People. I had just finished a large print book by rebecca Tope from the library and really enjoyed it. Very well written with excellent characters, and spotted these in the book people catalogus. three books for 4.99 Not bad.

Hope they aren't little tiny print though...probably not.

I was in the shop last evening and the lady at the till said to me 'what kind of cat do you have?' as she looked at the dry and wet cat food that was piled on the conveyor belt!! I told her that I seem to be feeding half the neighbourhood - so it sounds as though we're both in the same boat :) lol
I know what you mean about speed bumps - oh we have so many - I'm sure it can't be comfortable in the back of an ambulance going over any of them either.
It's been a bright sunny day here but there's still that cold chilly breeze but my hyacinth bulbs are out and that is pleasing to the eye. take care, Judyx
