The Cat is back!



Yes, The Cat is back and has lots of interesting little stories for you. With a slightly changed writing style (probably more cynicism and added bitterness but hopefully wittier), she hopes to be able to copiously entertain the (very) few poor mortals who still visit this page ...

Lots of things have happened since my last post and I now realise that I even missed my blog's 1 year anniversary ... Phew! Well, I don't really care actually because I am a total non-conformist and don't give two straws about such things ... Speaking of which, I was absolutely astounded to notice that some people actually write for the sake of it ... Yes, they have absolutely nothing to say but they do keep on writing just like that, just to be able to say ' yes, I have a blog, I' m a blogger'! Arghhh .... and, especially, YAWN!!! I am done checking other blogs ... For now.

So what have I been doing? Well, on the work side of things, I made some interesting trips to India and Romania and, for holidays, we made a wonderful tour of Ireland (including Northern Ireland). Excellent! I have already posted lots of pictures on my flickr site but will continue to do so in the near future. Ireland is literally exquisite, such a beautiful place! I loved it!

Today I am off to Maastricht for a three day training course and am actually writing this post in a hurry. I have lots of things to tell you but I don't really think that I have the time now, unfortunately :-( On the bright side of things, though, I feel so inspired and have such an itch to write that I know I will be here soon ....

Now I really have to go ... It's good to be back ... Hey, have you noticed that it's autumn again?

Another fair on my street ...





Yesterday I woke up to an incredible buzz and the sound of strange African music coming from outside ... I was soon to discover that another fair was being held right below my windows ...

So there they were, various people selling absolutely everything - from old dolls and toys to second hand books, DVDs, clothes, old shoes ... well, I don't actually think there was much they weren't selling .... Here are some pictures ...
I am not a big fan of these things because I have never been interested to posses second hand anything but I do understand the curiosity some people have to see what other people may be selling ... And, yes, you may be in for some big surprises!!

Currrently reading ....


My present read is a wonderful, entertaining book 'Hitler and Churchill -Secrets of Leadership' by Andrew Roberts.

I am having an excellent time with it and I find out lots of things I hadn't known about the two leaders and their respective leadership styles ... I recommend it wholeheartedly!
