Catastrophe.....

....the news was full of it today; collapsing Belgian stages, stock market free-fall, Hearts FC in Europe, the UCAS web-site collapse on A-Level day, I could go on. But.....in this maelstrom of bad news there was one of those rare moments when your heart is warmed.......Owen got a hair cut. Needless to say, he wouldn't let me photograph his newly shorn bonnet and it may be some time before he features on these pages again, but at least he looks more human and less dog-like for now. Here is a photograph of a cat instead.

Elsewhere, it was my niece's birthday, happy birthday JP.
