Yes I am at work again. Today it has lost a bit of its polish. I would have quiet happily stayed at home. But at least I get tomorrow off before starting a very very busy week. And it is going to be a short day. I am leaving soon to go and pick my daughter up and take her to look at some kittens. It is her birthday in a week and she has been asking for a kitten for a while. We are pet people, I can't imagine not having animals around and I am a firm believer that children need pets. They teach children about empathy; they don't grit their teeth and bare it if the child is hurting them they let them know; about mortality, the first important person in my life to die was my childhood dog and responsibility, you can't ignore your responsibilities to your pets. So we are off to get a kitten to add to our two dogs, our elderly cat (I am not sure he will be impressed) and our hermit crabs. The trick will be steering her to the cat that suits our family rather than the cutest one :-)
