Kitty Chat

Just having problems connecting to the Internet at the moment coupled with having leant my laptop to Sevérine means I can't update Kittychat as much as I would like...

Of course that will all change next week when my beloved comes back from the UK.... and I have my cuddle-partner back... and an ability to access the Internet from his house in Plouguernevel.

Yes, Kitty is one happy Kittycat.

Finally.

TRYING to get information on the law regarding people who just want to sell something one time or so. This is for the Christmas Market in Cléguérec that Ruby and I are organising...

Can I get a straight answer out of ANYBODY??? No.

Walked over to the Chambre des Metièrs, which is where Artisans need to register. After much too-ing and thro-ing they decided it did not fall under their jurisdiction and sent me to the Sous-Prefecture.

The Sous-Precfecture decided it was definately the Hôtel des Impôts that needed to deal with the situation. Ok so walk over there....

After a 45 minute conversation involving about 10 people and at least 5 phone calls, the Hôtel des Impôts declared it was the Chamber of Commerce that needed to decide about the situation...

Another hour at CCIM and three more phone calls it is decided that the people who want to sell at the Marché Noël must register as Independent Artisans at the..... wait for it..... Hôtel des Impôts.

There must be a loophole somewhere, it's just finding it.

On the other hand, I certainly got my exercise in today.... 

Its cold, drizzly and miserable... an accurate description of my mood today.

Why do people have to be so nasty? OK, myself included in that number... I felt quite nasty and put out these last couple days, I must admit.

You feel that red-hot flush of embarrassment or jealousy and it makes you want to just hide or lash out. Its an awful way to feel, it makes your heart beat quick and fast, it makes you see shadows where none appear, in bright sunshine.

I suppose it is also the nature of my moods: mecurical at times, at others, slow as treacle. Its just me. Hopefully the usual 'good me' makes up for the infrequent 'icky me'.

Yeah, stupid comments and the fact that I am back up again to 83kg has put a damper on my mood.

And my friend is going back to the UK tomorrow for 3 weeks... pooh.... Just when I'm getting used to lots of cuddling from somebody besides my kittens...

Grumble....

“The tongue like a sharp knife… Kills without drawing blood.”  Buddha

I like this saying... and it's true, don't you think?

Too often we engage the mouth without engaging the brain. We say things that we later will regret. OK, well, at least I have... and more than just once.

So if I have managed to harm anyone out there in any way by what I have done or said, I am sorry. I know it's not enough, but I do feel remorse.... because I know I have screwed up things in my life.

Thankfully, most people have it in their hearts to forgive me my transgressions..... so thank you for that.

I suppose I am just feeling a bit mortal and frail right now.

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

Lovely day today. Loads of rain last night and a very cold and foggy start to the morning but now it is glorious!

We went down to Pont Samuel lake and had a picnic, just enjoying the day really. I'd say Autumn isn't far away and, I for one, am ready for it. Thinking thick sweaters, warming stews and cuddling up on the couch under a down duvet....

Not to mention the hot mulled wine...... have to wait for Winter for that. You can't do hot mulled wine in Summer.

Sangria, on the other hand....

Kitty is one happy Kitty. I feel appreciated, warm and blissful and it is really all because of one certain, incredible, man.

"Oh good, finally!!!" I hear you all sigh. Yes, agreed.

When do you know that a friendship has turned from just being mates, hanging around together since you enjoy each other's company and being strictly nothing more than just pals... how do you know when it turns into something else? Something special, something deeper and something much more long-lasting?

This has happened to me and one of my good friends I have known for months. We have suddenly realised that we are no longer just pals. No longer are we seeing each other because he needs to do laundry and I have a machine or well, I made too much Cioppino and would he like to try some? Or... it's a weekend and it's pretty and the girls would love to go to the beach... thank you....

We are spending so much time together lately because... well... maybe we are falling in love?

Is that possible?

Well, I for one, believe it is indeed possible, my dears....

I'll keep you posted...... 

I have hit Boots and Marks and Sparks, Clarks and Tescos. OK, all done. I am ready to go back home to France.

Farewell Great Britain... see you later, around about October, I am guessing.

OK, OK... so it's not Alberta, Canada or say, Carlisle or Lancaster or something equally as far northwest but here in Southport it's bloomin' GORGEOUS!

I feel happy, very relaxed and ready to start on the next phase of my life...

Stay tuned for details....

Car broke down on way to the ferry. SO we are going out on Saturday instead of today...

On the plus side, I am no longer at the house in Cheshire, this is good... and MUCH more relaxing for the stressed out Kitty... (see picture below for what I looked like last night...)
