tune in

blimey, where has the time gone? October is flying by and I'm only just settling into student life. Which, this time round, involves a lot of writing, reading, computer work, cycling, cooking and supermarket shopping (oh, and dog walking and getting wet)

The partners in crime (Gizzy and Murphy) are doing OK. Murphy was sick on Saturday - luckily outside in the garden, how good is that? I'd shut him in on Friday night (as he'd taken to going outside and barking 3 times a night) and he duly barked in the wee small hours - but inside this time so Richard got up and he wanted out. Clearly that was why. Must've been the rubbish he was being fed when I wasn't looking.

Gizzy is also fine although we think there's a nother cat prowling round - she's been shooting in the carflap and haring away upstairs or somewhere, with Murphy instantly shooting out and bounding round barking at all the corners of the garden. She's dashing madly round the house as I write, with her tail all bushy and Murphy went out to have a look but didn't bark so not sure what's going on now. So what's new?

I've now got a blog on my student profile online at RGU and alos we're doing e-Profiles (including CV's and PDP's) so got a blog there too - I'm rapidly going off the idea. Even motormouth me can't keep that lot up! Besides, I have too much work to do.

Gotta go - it's 9.45pm and I've just sat down to study (having been making and eating dinner and been to supermarket).. toodle oo!

busy

very busy now the days are flying in! and the weeks.. Murphy showed his cool in an emergency on Sunday, I was hurrying to hang the washing out before we took him down to the beach for a walk (it was a glorious sunny, blustery day) and missed the step down to the grass. So the pegs went flying (I really must get a proper pegbag, anyone for Christmas?) and a went head over heels with a squeal.

Even Richard came to find out if I was OK, but had to find a way to remove the dog first - he'd been on the grass and immediately rushed over and stood over me as I lay there - I mean right over, front paws on one side of me and back paws on the other.

I'm not sure what in the doggy world it's meant to achieve, but he's very good at it! At least he didn't actually sit ON me, which he is prone to do when I sit or lie on the ground (for my exercises, I should add).

gizzy again

I had a panic the other day, thought I'd lost Gizzy. By 10.30 she still hadn't come for her breakfast - for a cat who is usually breaking the door down at 6.30am and refuses to leave me alone in the bathroom for my shower (presumably acting under the suspicion that I'll escape - naked - from the window before feeding her, this was unheard of!

By about 11 I'd been out in the garden calling her, searched the whole house - nothing. Sudenly I noticed the garage door was closed -hmm, I wonder?

Opened it and a silent blur shot past - straight to the food bowl (well, why waste time and energy miaowing that would be better used in getting to the food?). Mystery solved....
