Hi toxophilite just had to reply to your post as I watched Casualty last night and agree was a tearjerker, however, I find a can cry now at the drop of a hat!!! Doesn't take much to start me off!
Also your pic if your cats are beautiful and thought I would show you my 'Honey' . This is not a very good picture as she is laying 'sunning' herself in the garden a couple of years ago!!!
She is now 17 and this past week she is losing the use of her back legs and sleeps nearly all day and night. Only moves to eat and go out to the loo. Think I am going to lose her while I'm struggling with this bloody BC!!!
Sorry if that has upset you my daughter has always said she is the most pampered cat she knows!!! So I can be assured she has had a good life.
Love Edwina xx

I Survived .......... Sadly my hubby did not.
Happy Easter nice people.
I'm unexpectedly having to work yesterday and today, a nice reason its because a colleagues baby has been born early. So no church or nice lunch till Monday.
What beautiful cats and toxophilite and taralou have, I feed 2 or 3 strays but they won't come in the house, I wish they would! They have outdoor shelters and are neutered and fed.
Have a nice day everyone love you lots like jellytots xxxx
Happy Easter!!!on way into Church saw L one of my SundaySchool children with his little bro and curly blond tiny sister being carried on Daddys shoulder.....
gave him hug but he was too busy telling me about the full carpark.We sang “Oh precious is the flow,” and had 2 Dramas and the local GP told us about the story of Easter,then we sang “Here is Love Vast as the Ocean” a wonderful hymn and it always takes me back to a time on a Welsh Retreat where we girls all sang it and one Welsh music Teacher sang it in Welsh... totally beautiful xxx
Just coming in with a plug for my favourite ballet company! If you like good narrative ballet and are at a loose end tonight at 6pm, or want to record something that you can watch during the long night hours, then Northern Ballet's Casanova is on Sky Arts!
It's a great ballet (I'm obviously biased as I know all the dancers and the choreographer) and well worth a watch.
It's a series of vignettes of Casanova's life - he was MUCH more than a playboy, so if you do wnat to watch it, it may be worth looking at the storyline first:

Trailer here:

It's a bit racy in places...
Plug over!!!
....I love ballet!!!
my cousins’ daughter has recently become proffesional.She only started at 11!,
I wish I could have been a ballerina,I tried lessons as an older aduly and am afraid was a bit like a baby elephant!!!
my favourite Corps de ballet is Birmingham,they dont try too hard and so are so much nicer to watch.My favourite ballet was the lady of the camellias by the Paris Ballet de Corps which I saw by satellite years ago at the Cinema.The costumes were to die for !!

Oooh, another balletophile! I did ballet as a child, but grew too fast later on! I did try a couple of years ago, but like you, I turned out to be a pachyderm rather than a butterfly!!!
Good for your cousin's daughter - it's a really tough life - they work incredibly hard to make everything look effortless, when it really isn't! Some of the lifts in Casanova are amazing! The wigs and costumes are also fabulous!
One of my ballet going friends is also a BIG BRB fan and see most of their stuff. I've seen BRB a couple of times, but we keep missing them or the things we want to see clash with Northern, who we follow around the country (they all know me and my gadding partner as their 'ballet aunts'!). BRB are on my hit list for the future though (as long as I am well enough to get there!)
