☹ Sorry about your friend, **swampy**. Getting cheated out of your weekend is the pits, isnt’ it, **FCM**? I think next weekend might be just such a weekend for me. Boo. I’ve collected recycling, shredded some stuff, done some knitting and surfed a bit. Oh, and I went to Barnes & Noble and browsed for a while. Now I’m considering crawling into bed with knitting and a movie. Still deciding whether to post the new MMP tonight or early tomorrow. We’ll see. Back with the new MMP eventually. GT ---

**(((((Swampy)))))**, sorry to hear about your friend. **ems** - hope you’re soon feeling better and ready to deal with all that hubby-sleepin’ stuff! It’s raining and cool today, perfect weather to be going on holiday. The cats are fed and are now prowling round the house, they probably know something’s going on but can’t work out what it is. The catflap’s shut so they can’t get out of the house, and in an hour and a half, we’ll be stuffing cats into carriers and taking them over to the [moggery](http://www.bourtonhousecattery.co.uk/index.html) for their little holiday. **Nooner** , there’s no chance of me drinking the Danube dry when there’s red wine and coke, and cocktails to keep me hydrated…you can keep the holy water to yourself! See you in two weeks! ---

{{{ **Swampy** }}} I’m just young(er) enough that I’m still busy killing off my friends’ parents (and my parents’ friends…,) but I’m already starting to realize I’m going to start losing some friends of my own in the coming years. :eek: ☹ \*\*BooFae \*\*-- which kind of Coke are you talking about? :eek: 😛 😃 Either way, black or white, enjoy it! ---
