End of an Era - Spooks final call.....

Here is Bill the cat - he is one of the PAWS cats that myself and two other girls rescued and now look after. He lives outside the apartment blocks and gets fed about 20 times a day! He is lovely and another successful story involving PAWS. I have been very busy re-homing this week - I managed to help re-home 2 dogs and also several cats too - so its been a good week for PAWS!

Last week was another busy one - as ever!! I was out for food Tuesday night with some old friends from DMC who I worked with 15 years ago - so we had a catch up. Wednesday was Spooks closing night - he has been running his bar now for several years and its become a bit of an institution - in fact Spook is a bit of an institution and a larger than life character - I have known him since 1998 myself!!! It was a wild night I must say and ended (for me) at 4am - some of the others apparently kept going all of the next day and the following night I believe!!! (Spook is in the middle of Cheryl and Scott)

Thursday I had a bit of a lie in but then had to take some stuff down to the storage van for the PAWS garage sales and then onto a meeting with 2 new volunteers and picked up some more garage sale stuff, then ready and off to Lee's for a Happy Hour - beautiful evening sat outside next to the pool in the garden - oh to have a garden, let alone an outside area - dream on Jill!! Then onto Nada to the band night - again a great night which ended at 3am for me - ouch!! Friday - rest day...
Busy this week - taught circuits Saturday and Monday - Monday was my last Monday class as Val takes over now so I can now get back to the running club! Saturday had a dash to the
dentist again as I had a shooting pain up my face from my dodgy tooth - seems the root canal still isn't sorted. Its ok again now - I hope it lasts so I can have it filled at some point for good! Went to town with Tracy Sunday - bad move going into the pet shop - they had 2 gorgeous puppy dogs in there - I wanted to save them so much! Poor things - they aren't kept in the best condition..
Then last night was round 2 of Come Dine with me with Chef Toddy. She did carrot and corriander soup, corned beef hash with peas and cherry pie. Very nice too. I shouldn't really mention that she had left the stove on at lunch time and the fire brigade were about to bash down the door and had evacuated the building by the times she got home should I!!! Dinner was still served of course and Lou's apartment was still intact!








Anyway, this weekend there are a few socials on tomorrow and then we are off to Ugir and to find desert roses all day Thursday and Thursday night just a small do on camp so hopefully will be compus mentus to do some revision Friday!
I am now doing my personal training practical via DVD which will save me a trip to Dubai and also can sit the theory exam in Bahrain so I am happy about that, so have been pretty busy putting together all my papers and teaching Sheryl at the gym...
Anyway, over and out from me.
