It's been a bit of a mixed day, to say the least

James (son and heir) is 15 today, so we've had a houseful of teenagers overnight (argh!) who all thankfully went home after a stint at the local outdoor Battlefield Live (man, was THAT cold).

On the down side, we lost Merlin, our new and exceptionally cute (and three-legged) kitten sometime overnight - he appeared to have been hit by a car. :(

Janes is now happily playing on his new PS4, and a rather excellent meal out has cheered us up a bit.

On a military-related front, Anne gave me 2 quid to pay for parking while I picked up the PS4 in question, and I took one look and handed it back, saying 'I'm not giving that away'....

I must have missed the news about these being struck: really rather pretty.

  1. I collect all my £2 coins to spend at Salute. I need to see if I have one of those!

    Sorry about your cat. We don't have one but have been adopted by next door's and worry about him if we haven't seen him for a few days. Never thought I'd get attached to an animal...

    Loosing a pet is gut wrenching

  5. Congrats on your son's 15th; but equally sad to hear about your cat. Hang in there - better times in 2015 in store, I'm sure.

  8. Sorry about the kitten. So sad. :(
    The coin is rather nice - we have two dollar coins here in Cannuckistan, called "toonies" since the $1 coins have a loon on them and were dubbed "loonies". Neither are as nice as that splendid coin.
