You're probably wondering what happened at the photo session from last Friday? No? Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway, so if you don't want to read on, go have fun with the kittens ... For those of you into cats, my mate Foshie has become a foster carer, looking after cats until a home can be found for them. His second cat, Molly , seems to get two distinct reactions: "Aww, she's gorgeous!" and "My God, what is that?!". My reaction to the first photo I saw was to laugh: she had huge eyes and a face like an Ewok . Then I met her on Friday night, and my heart melted. As well as being the smallest, skinniest, 8-year-old cat I had ever seen, the poor thing also had a cold and was wheezing and snuffling like I do after I've been around cats!* Surprisingly, she didn't run away from me, and within 10 minutes I was taking pics of her lounging about. Foshie had said that she was cam era shy, but I think she secretly enjoyed being the centre of ...

Things have been a bit lax on the excitement front of late, hence the pic of today's lunch! If it looks as good to you as it tasted to me, then it was worth hanging out of our second-story office to get a 3G signal in order to upload the pic! You see, I'm prepared to risk life and limb just to make an entry for you ;-) There's a little sandwich shop called Sandwich Plus , in Tring's Dolphin Square, that appears to offer the more interesting sandwich fillings in the area. This one was Serrano Ham and Brie, which you can't really see here as it was hidden somewhere under the ton of salad!! I'm not complaining, mind, as it was very tasty ... the same of which could not be said for the salad dodger I passed on the way to buy it. Tonight should be a fun night. My mate Foshie has asked me to attempt to take some pics of his new cat, Molly , under the theory that she won't screw her face up with my camera due to the auto-focus being E-TTL , so there is no aut...

Recently, my mate Foshie signed up as a foster carer for cats, looking after those without homes or that have been badly treated. His first, Leon , took to hiding under the bed, but he was very affectionate and would come and make a fuss if you went up to see him ... though the least said about the results of too much catnip , the better! Leon found a home last week, so Foshie was all prepared for the next tenant, who arrived last night. How would you react when the lady delivering the animal pulls this out of her hat? Foshie's reaction: "My God, she's hideous!" Personally, I'd have pissed myself laughing - in fact, I do every time I look at this pic: the poor thing looks like its walked into one too many patio doors. Though in a strange way, she is quite cute...
