Good News!!!

Very good news actually..An eleventh hour reprieve for our little Ginger (boy) from next door. Vin got a phone call last night from our (ex) neighbours landlord to say that they had got someone to give the cat a home. His daughters wanted it but they have two already, but his wife got in touch with a friend of theirs over on The Wirral who as soon as she heard the story wanted him. She has a farm apparently on a quiet road and has two othert cats already so sounds absolutely ideal. We had been telling ourselves that a place in the rescue centre would have been good, but in reality it would have hated that. it is very much an outdoor cat and just loves sitting in our front garden watching people go by to the shop. So Vin was thrilled with that. I know he would have been really upset taking it to the Rescue centre as good as they are there.
Gorgeous day today, bright and sunny almost too warm. it is odd to think that only a few months ago we weresort of up to our necks in snow. Mind you both of the weather firls at lunchtime were saying that it won't last and we will have rain tomorrow. Doesn't look like it now though.
Went quickly to Sainsburys this morning for our weekly veggies etc, and were back very quick, it was too warm to wander round much. Nice to see everyone in summer dresses and T-shirts.
Got a phone call when I got back from our new surgery, 9the one we had to change to after sixty years with the old one!) They wanted me to go for a medication review, and offered me an appointment with a Dr, Albert Doerr at 3.30. he turned out to be very pleasant german I think, with excellent English so a good experience. He went over my medicatins of which |I have loads, and I told him that I had stopped taking one particular one because it made me very lkight headed and I couldn't cope with it. He didn't tell me off and said that we would try another one instead. So yet another name to put on the list.
Blip in the light when we got home. and next doors burglar alarm started going off. Horrible noise, piercing, so Vin rang the landlord and left a message. He said it had gone off but would start again shortoly. i can see why it drives people mad when they go off all the time.
Looking forward to a new series pf new tricks tonight, we really enjoy those, such good acting. And. a new serioes of Nurse jackie tomorrow night on Sky Atlantic too. We got into watching those on BBC2 but obviously Sky have jumped in. The ASky Atlantic channel have been showing some terrific shows, their Boeardwalk Empire series was very good, and there is a wonderful series at the moment with Kate Winslett called Mildred Pierce. Definitely worth watching.

Tonight we are having:
Escalope of some sort,
Little new potatoes
mixed vegetableswith a white sauce.

What brilliant news for Ginger. I was thinking of Vin this morning and him having to take Ginger to the rescue centre and was expecting your post to be about that - but what a relief that it isn't.
Just about to the washing in the machine then time for a cuppa, take care. Judyx
