Yayyyy. Thank you Linda. A very HAPPY MOTHERSDAY to you and all the other Mother's as well. I hope your kids show you just how much they value you and all you do for them.
My kids have sent cards. We have never been big on other things on Mother's Day. I like it that way. They'll Skype later undoubtedly.

The best thing about being a Mum is knowing I have raised them to be happy, confident and independent. We chat daily online as I do with my Mum :)

My son has written "Thank you for mothering me excellently" in his card :D It's very much his sense of humour... made me laugh too :D

Our meet and greet went well this morning. The Miley twin did not take to cats well so she was taken off the list. So that left two. Snoopy was very chilled and relaxed but was not originally our first choice. The second one "nameless" for now interacted with Miley a little more. He is the one we are thinking of taking. He is going to be sterilised tomorrow as he was a stray they found. And I am going to arrange with them that we will collect him on saturday morning early. So we will have the weekend to get him used to our house etc. Looking forward to our new member joining the family.

Sounds like you have a close family. So nice to see. Glad they appreciate you not always a given with children nowadays.

Ooh, that will be exciting. You are going to have a busy time ahead keeping an eye on things as you try to settle in a new friend for Miley :)

Yes we will but I believe that ultimately she is going to be alot happier. And we give another little one a forever home.

I've heard that Adam can disappear for a couple of weeks at a time. I am confident that he will be back. Until then we will miss him and think happy but dark thoughts!

Yes.
He’s even disappeared for MONTHS before. The CDR is a little different when he’s gone, but it still carries on. [emoji2]

That’s such good news Bea. And I understand where you were with Jacques.

I am approaching the saddest anniversary with Joe and it’s feeling harder to be here. I am doing my best

Anniversaries ARE tough- especially the first ones, I think.
Joe had an amazing life with you and your family.[emoji173]️

Good morning all!

Happy Sunday :)

I have my tv on and monitor the nest box camera as I go through the day.

I have seen two birds in the box again the morning, but they still don’t seem keen on actually building a nest. Maybe the weather isn’t right yet

And on the subject of Adam, we’re kind of used to his disappearances. It happened this time last year too. He takes a break, sometimes lengthy.

I have been in touch via email so he is still out there. :)

The CDR hasn’t yet shut down in his absence and I am sure it won’t now.

People have lives outside the CDR, hard to imagine I know [emoji23], and the outside world takes over on occasion so the roomies change. It’s probably healthier to get some daylight from time to time [emoji1] We are always delighted to see old friends return and they frequently do :)

Well said, Linda! [emoji2][emoji106]

Hello roommates.:)
I wish you all a beautiful and peaceful Sunday. :<3:
I am working, so I cannot post much, but I will catch up, I promise.
See you all in the evening I hope.:)
Hi Sabine. Missed you the last few days. Glad it is only work keeping you away. Have an awesome Sunday too and not chat later.
