What a cute kitty Yes ! It's great that you're back on here. I shall inform Madame Naughtypaws that she has another admirer. The first book is Daughter of Smoke and Bone ; I thought it was really clever, a new twist on the genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Ha ha We have Junior Water Paw (Water Paw is his Indian name ) because he sticks his paw in the water bowl. And we have Pearl Dirty Fur because he doesn't like to wash his paws which are white socks (yes, a boy named Pearl lol we thought he was a girl when we rescued him walking around the neighborhood. He has a white "pearl" at the tip of his tail ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More reading time required Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 On 9/7/2017 at 0:51 AM, Little Pixie said: I finished Dreams of Gods and Monsters ; an excellent end to the trilogy. Such lyrical writing, and a great, uplifting message. No spoilers, cos it would spoil the whole series, but if you enjoy urban fantasy, it's a winner, and one of my books of the year . Hmm, might give it a look see. Well, starting with the first in the trilogy, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got electricians in atm ; the house was built in the early 1970s, and it turns out that the lights weren't earthed at all. It's a wonder no-one was electrocuted. Anyway, tomorrow should be the last day, with a few more checks and rewiring, and the installation of a new fuse box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One electrician is back to.morrow ; it turns out there's another fault, this time in the downstairs rooms. Using the stair light is tripping the fuse box, and he thinks that someone has put a nail or something similar through a cable, which is making a crossconnection. Hopefully, day 3 will be the final day, cos Xiao-Xiao is getting fed up of hiding under my bed when it's too noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electrician is popping back midweek, then that'll be it done. He's going to fit a better diode into the security lights, which will mean they're just as bright but don't suck up 500watts. Madame is fast asleep in her snuggle drawer ; I don't think I'll put it back in the chest of drawers, she loves it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We had the same with electrics earlier this year - had it fixed once and he did it all wrong, so had to have it done again, therefore ended up paying twice!
