Roger

Finally, I've found a use for having a cat.... what to take a picture of when you haven't got a photo of the day, thank you Roger for finally having a use.  
The cat has been a little upset this evening as I didn't bother lighting the fire, he was looking at it quite forlornly for a while trying to work out what was wrong.  He's enjoyed a week of happily sleeping on the bed, the husband is only half keen on it and Roger normally gets told to sling his hook at some point.  The other plus is if he's sleeping on my bed, I don't get summoned in the middle of the night to remove him from a cot - the eldest doesn't like having the cat on his bed.

The boys are missing the husband, just that little bit more tearful than normal, the youngest isn't always sure about food (unheard of) and the eldest is pining a little.  I wish I could explain that it's not long now and that Dada will be coming home, it won't always be 'just Mummy'. 

Granny was in charge this afternoon (thank you Granny), as I left, the youngest was in tears and took some persuading to stop by Granny.  However, I think Granny gives out pretty good cuddles to her Grandchildren and worked her magic with them.
