State of the wombat.

Well - it's quiet around here - S2C is in bed, last night was his last shift at work for a couple of weeks and he's just rotating back to the same hours as the rest of us.

Well into the same hours as me - Daughter-dear isn't here at the moment - not that she has gone back to York yet, no, she's in Krakow. She came in last Saturday evening and said 'Katie and I think we'll go to Krakow for a few days.' 'Oh?' says I, 'When?' thinking 'the Easter holidays' or whatever. 'Saturday,' says D-d.

So they organised themselves, boat to Liverpool, flights from Liverpool, hostel for 4 nights, hotel in Liverpool on the way home, boat home on Thursday.

Looks a very nice place - here is a webcam - especially for Kathleen and Jim!

Next Monday we take D-d back to York - both S2C and I. Which means leaving the cat at home alone. I think he is better in his own surroundings, with someone coming in to feed him, but S2C and D-d think he might run away from boredom if there is no-one to make a fuss of him. I think he will just sit and howl in a cattery - and so I have arranged a compromise - I will ask our neighbour to pop in and feed him in the mornings, and my 16 year old niece will pop in after college each day for a while to feed him again and make a fuss of him. He gets fussed, and she gets the use of the widescreen TV and 100+ channels.

Seems to be a plan - we'll only know it's worked when we get home after our 5 days away.

My part of the next chapter of Access All Areas is written and now S2C is finished work for a while hopefully he will get his bit done. We're in an exciting bit!

Talking of stories, can I recommend Riders by new writer winsomeone. It is on seasonal_spuffy; all the chapters are posted, one after the other, on the community, it is complete - 29 shortish chapters and an epilogue - I have sat and read it this afternoon.

Summary: Buffy and Spike set off on the trail of a killer and wind up in alternate dimension 1870’s Nevada trying to prevent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from rising. PG13. Good, good stuff.

Enjoy your trip. I'm back from a jaunt to Oklahoma City, but that didn't cure my wanderlust. I'm ready to travel again. I shouldn't have attended that lecture with the world traveler--it only increased my longing to travel.

We always leave our cat(s) at home. Bumberjean used to visit them when we were gone, but she goes with us on vacations now, so my sis-in-law does the duty. Cats really hate strange kennels. I think it's better for them to be lonely than stressed.

Cats really hate strange kennels. I think it's better for them to be lonely than stressed. That's how I feel about him, too. Especially as he hates having to use a litter tray - he goes out into the yard and uses the leave litter under the tree!

York is really a fairly short hop - apart from the 4 hours on the boat. It is a lovely place when there, too.
