Meet the rest of the family

I don't think I have introduced you to the rest of our family. This is Betty, or as we refer to her as Mrs. McPudgy. She also came to us via a former tenant. We couldn't have the dear sent to a shelter so she became ours.

...and this is Sundae, making herself at home on my tea towels. She fancies herself the alpha kitty and I have to remind her constantly that "I" am the alpha kitty! She came to us half starved from a local fruit farm. She is our mouser and one tough little girl.

Now that I have leisure time, I can take a walk/run. I don't have the endurance to jog the whole way round my little town, so I walk a bit then jog a bit. I can't say I am too sad about loosing my job. It was a corporate position where you were used as a punching bag for insecure middle management to justify their existence. Almost weekly I was demeaned and verbally abused. Who needs that? I will find something more suited to my nature and abilities.

Not exactly a fashion statement but it is pretty cold here right now!
