The Kindness of Strangers
I'm utterly blown away by the generosity and kindness of complete strangers, people who have donated to help with Derry's vet bills. I'm still struggling with the embarrassment and shame of asking, but am also grateful beyond mere words.
THANK YOU.
Dinner last night was surprisingly good! Not awkward, as I thought it would have been. I think she's reconnecting with former friends now that she's getting set to toss out the dead beat she's been supporting for the past five years. Bizarrely, she lost one of her cats (who looked quite a bit like Chumley) to a similar problem--blood clot--two and a half years ago. And she has three other cats now, rescues, plus her 15-year old female, and various visiting cats from the neighbourhood, some with homes and some without. Our lives as middle-aged women with cats seem to be running parallel. LOL.
Anyway, I certainly hope it won't be another 4 or 5 years before we see each other again.
On an entirely different note, I told my boss I was leaving at 1 or 1:30 today, to get home in time to see Spain and Germany play for a berth in the World Cup final. Nice to have a boss who doesn't blink at things like that. :-)

Lovely hollyhocks, I used to grow them and then they all died and I forgot all about them, must start again. xx
The Hub & I have friends we may only catch up on once or twice a year; no less good friends for that.
LOL and three cheers for a great boss!
Just when you think you can't put your trust in people,things happen and it makes one understand that all things are possible.
Hope you enjoy your soccer game today.
But Germany did very well, scored most of the goals in this tournament and are young enough to return in 4 years time!!! Yay for them!
Glad your dinner went well with your friend - it's incredible how we find soul mates - paths borne separately twist and turn and grow and then cross other paths eventually over time!! Amazing!
The kitty in the window is gorgeous!! I wish I could grow hollyhocks!! Beautiful flowers!
Take care

I like the kitty in the window, too!
