We (louise and I) are both a bit worst for wear today, not from some alcohol infused evening but thanks to a little vistor who, on Saturday, crept into the house through the backdoor which had blown open in the wind.

We suspected something was up as tiny paw prints had appeared all over the kitchen worksurface and this was confirmed when, at one o'clock this morning, the bedroom door swung open and a little pair of ears could be seen in the moonlight, switching on the light revealed nothing and it was only when we searched the front room downstairs that our little visitor could be seen...a tiny cat, with no tail and a flashing green collar!!!  Earlier that evening all the houses in our street had been leafleted by a couple desperately looking for their lost kitten - so we called them and together the 4 of us spent a happy 20 minutes trying to coax the kitten out from the builders yard (aka the front room)

However, the Kitten found and returned to its happy owners (servants) :-)... 

So just a couple of jobs completed today ...
