Old cat lady.

I went to visit my friend Gill from uni a while back. It was just for a night, and I don't see much of her anymore (boo!!) so it was really lovely to see her.

On the Sunday we were sat in her living room for a while, chatting and eating splatted pie and their cat jumped up on the armrest of the chair I was sat on. I started petting it and after a while it climbed carefully onto my lap and sat there.

Now, this was pretty amazing. Not that a cat had climbed onto my lap, but that THIS cat had done. You see, this was very much my friend's grandma's cat. Her grandma passed away quite recently and since then the cat has not been close to anyone. Even before grandma passed she wouldn't give anyone else the time of day.

So for this gorgeous cat to sit on my lap - and later, actually LIE DOWN and let me stroke it for absolutely ages was pretty amazing. Gill was in shock. I was in shock. I'm not much of an animal lover, having never really been around them I'm not used to them. But this was so nice.

When I came home I told Mike what had happened. His first comment was 'must be because you're such an old lady.'

Cheers!

Say hello to my little friend.

We have a new house guest. I've no idea where he came from but I like him.

Apologies for the blurry photo, I'll blame my phone..

Dag 07 – Min bästa vän (my best friend)

This one is easy. My sister. And Karin+Emma. And Mike. And... and... and...

Er, not that easy it turns out!

But since the title is singular - it'll have to be my sister. I guess ;) (Plus she's the only one who reads my blog so got to give her some credit there!)

Joking aside, we're close enough in age that we've (almost) always been able to spend time together without killing each other. Especially now we're friends rather than in an older/younger sibling dynamic. Well, that's how I see it - she might not agree!

She's the best sister you could ever imagine and I love her and I miss her a lot every day.
