Angelina Jolie and the superfast generation Carol Midgley - Times Online
Sitting outside M and S yesterday in the outlet car park waiting for Nat and Kathryn and reflecting that this was the first time I had had five minutes to call my own in what seemed like weeks . probably a gross exaggeration but .... I watched people ..... the world , me included , is in a hurry ..... cars revving past , cross at having to wait for space to park , to get by , men in the car park impatiently waiting for women and kids coming out of the shops , I myself looking at my watch and trying to calculate how much of the twenty minutes agreed had elapsed since I had left the girls .... then wondering if the dog at home would have trashed ... what exactly ? The house ? Not likely ... a shoe ? at worst ..... and stopped myself worrying , wound down the window to enjoy the sunshine and the wait .
So with that in mind , it seemed something of a coincidence that I read this article tonight .
Its worth a read .
Besides my extra duties with M still in hospital and her three cats insisting on going out and refusing to come back in when they should ( why would they ? the house is hot , they dont know where she has gone , they last saw her disappear in an ambulance and I cant help them understand when she will be back . So they go looking for her , is my theory .... ) Im also looking after two matching cats in grey and black with white paws , both elderly , long haired and living in an idyllic spot , house centred around a beautiful courtyard .
The boy cat , who is slightly more into cuddles than his Foodie sister , leads me round the ( extensive ) house showing me places where he has dropped a dribble or a speck of fluff and mooches around nonchalanantly till I clear up . Houseproud he is ..... whereas sister just ushers me straight into the Food dept and heads for the tuna tins and then follows me for a conversation after her dinner .....
But after feeding and clearing are all done we adjourn to the courtyard bench and sit and chat for a while in the sunshine and that is the blissful part of this job cum hobby of mine . I wouldn't change it for anything . Nothing beats those few minutes of rest and recuperation and hanging out with a couple of cats .

Oh I love that article! You have to wonder if it's true - what on earth is the hurry to have more children? Especially when there are so many more flavors out there to adopt!
But it's true I think. We want what we want and we want it now. Lovely to stop and enjoy the garden with some cats. :)
God grant me patience...and I WANT IT NOW!!
(BTW I am disappointed you didn't take the time to view the "eye candy")
Silliyak .. Im confused about the " eye candy ? "
The video of Chris Isaak. Most females agreed he's easy on the eyes and has a "nice" voice.
Silliyak ... Thanks for replying so fast ... now at risk of seeming really slow here ... where does the video of Chris Isaak fit in ... was there a reference in the article ? Im now really confused ? Words of one syllable please ?
went to see show . like songs and show . you might like too . he did this song . he is from these parts .
Now at last it makes sense .... I had not stopped by your blog as I had people staying ,...now I have seen that there is the video link and indeed the eye candy , so anyone wanting to make sense of this rather confusing chain , head off to Silliyak's blog and see for yourself . He also has a bold new header with unlikely sentiments about failure and such ...
