Hello everyone,

Half the year gone! I want to catch on to Time’s leash and pull it back – it’s galloping far too fast! Hope everyone’s managing to enjoy the long days, even if they’re not the sunniest, or the warmest. Having said that, today is lovely in West Clare. Not that I can bask in it – my draft is back and I’m knee deep in edits, and with a deadline of mid August to complete this round, I’ll be nose to the grindstone till then. I keep telling myself it’ll all be worth it in the end……let’s hope so!

The big non-writing news here is that the stray (pregnant) cat I’d been feeding on the patio had 5 kittens on July 1. I didn’t know where they were, just that she was missing on that day and back the next, looking a lot slimmer! I had to hope they were in a safe place, but it was a worry until she decided to move them into my greenhouse last week, where she and they have been living  since. They’re  absolutely adorable – if you’re not a cat person you’ll have to take my word for it – and getting bigger every day. I’ve got 4 homes already, just one to go. I’ll hate to part with them, but three of my own is more than enough! I’ll bring Mama into the vet to be spayed as soon as she finishes feeding them, and she’ll be able to have a quiet life after that.

House hunting continues. Slowly, slowly. The right one is waiting for me.

Mind yourselves, enjoy what’s left of the summer,

love
