...and the beginning

I haven't blogged at all since the first course ended. I like to have a purpose. It feels a little...um..presumptuous and a tiny bit precious and even pretentious to be blogging for no good reason. I am a bit utilitarian really. So it's fun to come back in and blog again for a reason. What a modest creature I am.
I don't read a lot of other blogs because I find them a bit twee and tedious hence my own feelings about blogging - I don't want to inflict that on others. But this is for study purposes ! So it's ok to suffer.
There is one blog I like because it's not any of the abovementioned things- another staff member has a blog and she is funny and and interesting and homey and I like that even though she doesn't have cats. I do sometimes leave a comment on there.
I've changed the background on here to "harbour". I am going to the coast at Christmas - first holiday in fifteen years !! My daughter is coming too and we are taking the dogs- we found pet friendly accomodation. I love the coast...so why am I still inland?!
Here's an update on Beryl : she is one year old and has a heart murmur . Still tiny but we love her.
