new kitten, 6 months old... went down to fetch him today.
isn't he gorgeous.
this one is after he'd been in the house about 1/2 hour
and this one is as he'd just got out of the carrier and was coming into the house from the conservatory...
the older black lad we still had after Tiger went is a bit disconcerted - and doesn't understand the concept of play, we don't think. ooops.
it was an awful drive down.
the gales were blowing, i was down to 60 mph on the motorway when i usually max to the limit. and I was oh so nearly written off altogether by the tractor unit of a wagon ... there's a place on the road down, single carriageway, 50 mph limit because of a bad bend -- tractor unit came the other way round said bend, doing about 65 or so i would think, and in consequence was on the wrong side of the road. the language was choice, and I was oh so pleased I wasn't maxing it to even 50 there! or i wouldn't be here ....; ditto that he didn't have anything on the back! i was going slowly enough to be able to react and pull slightly to my left without totally losing it but I was bricking it and so, I think, was the chap in the car behind me who had a clear view as well..... shook for the next 5 miles ... essentially till i got to where i was going.
and as for molly - i clearly wasn't going to be riding her in that lot i thought. So we left the cats to get to know each other, and went to the local town and then went down to muck out/bed up/get molly in. it was dire as we were doing our messages ... but we got down the yard, the wind had dropped.... i could in fact have ridden. but partner wouldn't have been too impressed by that, and molly was anyway pretty wet, would have taken ages to dry the mud enough to get the bridle on. so she got brought in very early, and was left with loads to eat and a new bed...

The new kitten is adorable--my favorite color. I always need a stripie in my gang. Simba is a perfect name. I am predicting he will be really loveable. Tabbies with his color always have been at my house.
The best laid plans remain the best plans sometimes. Not riding Molly was a good idea.
Besides the wind and the mud, your terrible driving experience probably left you a bit more drained than even you knew. How scary. Thank goodness you are OK.
you're probably right jean....
anyway, from tomorrow night, partner is away in phillippines for three weeks.... wedding, i was invited to but don't do flights and don't do winter holidays...so i've no excuse, so long as the weather is ok!
