You have a cat called James? That's a rahter formal name for a moggie.

Mind you, I shouldn't talk. We once had a charming feral (entire) cat who
decided that our house was sufficently comfortable for him to deign to grace
us with his presence. He was full of such Irish charm, schmooze and total
blarney that I Christened him Fleury O'Leary III.

Our other moggies have had names like Lady, Boysie, Ottie and Ollie.

:-)) You could run a great sewing business without those sorts of
interruptions.

No, they are called Sugar Puss & Cornflake... He has all the brains of
a corn flake, she is small and sweet, like a sugar puff - except when
she's being Boadicea-Kitty!

The teeager is called James. :)

In the past two months the washer, my computer, the dishwasher, the
coffee filter machine, and the toaster have all failed. Some tried to
set fire to their surroundings, some flooded them, one tried both! I
now need to replace the kitchen work surfaces and floor as they have
holes burned in them by the coffee machine. Alan repaired the
dishwasher, and has sorted me out a temporary computer. I bought him a
new coffee machine, he bought me a new and very cheap toaster (on my
instructions - I don't need an expensive computerised taster!).

I've also had a couple of good FTL sewing projects, and more to come.

I lead a cartoon life at times...
