It's been a while

So, what's been happening lately?  Well, I've got the visas sorted for going to India, and we've got another wee rescue cat on a weeks trial to see how she fits in.  So far it's sort of ok.  She's learned that Rosie rules the roost, and is suitably nervous of her.  Rosie meanwhile is slightly put out, and is making the kitchen a no-go area for the new cat.  Other than that, Rosie just watches her from the safety of my knee.  I think if she was that bothered, she'd be over having a go at the new cat.

BTW her name is Mia and she's 5.  Depending on what face she's pulling, she's either really cute, or possibly the ugliest cat ever. Overall though she's a nice wee thing.  Betty isn't really bothering with her, but being blind probably helps to stop her chasing the new arrival and beating seven bells out of her.


So anyway, we're giving it a week to see how things go.  Fingers crossed.

Other things, well, I'm still messing about trying to teach myself guitar.  So far I can muddle through Three Little Birds by Bob Marley, and sort of get No Surrender by Bruce Springsteen.  I've printed out the tabs/chords for Rockin in the Free World by Neil Young, so that's my next challenge.  I'm also thinking about getting a bit more serious about it and taking some lessons when I get back from holiday towards the end of September.
