Posts about me, my family and friends (yes I have some), Seymour the Wonder Cat and his not-so-trusty sidekick Norman the Newbie Cat and life in general, both online and offline
You can’t help but feel sorry for the Queenstown bloke who came home from holiday last week to find his new flatmate had trashed his house. The roomie from hell moved in before Chrismas and the landlord/homeowner buggered off on Christmas day for a couple of weeks. He came home to a damage, dirt and […]

Was a civilised evening here … much less of that whole drunken debauchery carry on that we had for Christmas. Hope everyone else had fun but stayed safe.
