Permanence

All things break over time.  

We lost a cat a few months ago.  After doing the poster thing and the knocking on doors thing we assumed it had gone to live with someone else. It was a lovely affectionate creature and huge! A proper farm house mouser that roamed free across the farmland surrounding us. 

We had a chap in today to help us cut our hedges (with me using all time away from work for study and writing at the moment.) He found the remains of the cat in our hedge.  

On the plus side I finished my paper, its not going to win me any prizes but its done at least... moving on to the next thing... which tonight involves wine...
