On The Catwalk






We had fun at the fashion show. Very informal. Regular people modelling, having fun ,laughing at themselves. Anna looked like a natural and looked like she was enjoying herself.

Dinner was great, the chef came to our table to ask Emma about her allergies and very kindly made substitutes for her.

The evening ended with considerable excitement when dropping Mum off. Emma was very graciously carrying Oma's purchases in when she came running and screaming from the door parcel in hand followed closely by a SKUNK. It had found it's way in through Farley's cat door and was dining on Farley's food. So there we stood watching this skunk who wouldn't leave the garage when the alarm system went off. "Emma hadn't stopped t0 put her code in". By this time I found Oma's house keys in our car and went round to open up. You should have seen Oma explaining to the alarm people that she had a skunk in her house. Can't believe it didn't spray. Perhaps it is still dozy from it's long winter sojourn.
We checked the rest of the house for relatives and then gingerly searched the garage hoping he had left. We locked both cat doors, and bid Mum good night.
This morning at 7:30 Mum calls to say at 3a.m. she heard scratching and thinking it was Farley trying to get out, checked to find the skunk trying to get in. Not sure where the little bugger was hiding but he had never left the garage. Using the garage door opener she opened the garage door about 2 feet and went back to bed.
This morning she very gingerly got in her van and backed it out. No skunk.
So... what to do? It will be a nuisance not having the cat door. Aunt Silvia told Mum of a Digital cat door that responds to a signal from a collar on the cat!!!!!!!

Methotrexate day today!

Off to help Mum set up an account for high speed.
