Bad New Everybody

I can always tell how long I have been away from my blog by how many plugins need updating.

Well I’ll start with the bad news.

My favourite coffee shop is closing down. Nothing to do with not making money but because the office block it is part of needs the space for showers and cycle storage1. Which is a bummer.

But there is also good news.

I have finally started writing again. I was being super productive and trying to use most of my time.

And it made me go mental. I just couldn’t relax without worrying I was wasting my time. I got so pent up with it.  The stress was effecting my writing and my full time job that pays for my bills.

But after having relaxation  forced upon me (I have been off from my full time work due to sickness) I was watching to shows I had started not finished.  I was idly writing idea for stories and the pressure had gone away and I was not stress as I was before.

I need to worry less about not using the most of my time. And take time to make sure I relax.

Cats About the House

My wife and I are now the proud owners of two bouncing hissing kitties.

Two boy kitties named Furrz and Purrwin 1.

They are still upset from separated from their mother. Every time we get close they hiss at us. I think we will wear them down with our love. But now I am slightly sleep deprive as they make so much at night. I thinking of buying them some Kitten Mittens just to get some peace and quiet.

[Update]

They seemed to have settle down now that we have had them for almost the six weeks. Also we have found out Furrz is a girl which we did not see coming first but it made sense of lot of little incongruities we had seen. She is still an Archduke though and we respect her live choice.

Furrz is the timid one and Purrwin the Extrovert.

Furrz is the athlete of the two. She run and jump leaving Purrwin in a tizzy. Both like to go in to the window sill in the bedroom but have to navigate the dreaded curtain. Furrz always manages it with one elegant bound but Purrwin not so much. At first me and Steff thought she didn’t like being touched but she likes attention but when she wants it. She is tiny with a curly tail.

Purrwin is the overly attached cat. When I go to work he will meow at me and get upset. And when I get home he’ll be super excited. He also has massive paws so he going to grow to be a huge cat. He not quite so elegant when climbing and will fall off things regularly. Also lot more aggressive. Ninety percent of the scratches on my arm are from him. But that was when we first got them and I don’t think they were picked up as kitten. Now he is amenable to being picked up.

I’m looking forward to my first Christmas with a Wife and the Cats.

Update From The Carter House Hold

Well I have not updated this blog as much as would I like.

With wedding, My father being rather ill and My Wife being ill has left me rather stressed out. And as well as having a full-time job my candle has been burnt at both ends and bit in the middle.

I have been working on blog posts but never had time to complete them.
What I do not want to do is release them all at once and not be able to keep up with that routine in the new year.

So I am going to take it easy over christmas and post couple of the larger pieces. I will also try and post a number of shorter posts as well.

Speak Soon
