Lonely without you
Anticipate your return
Absence grows my love
The past weekend, I was left alone, with my kids, both human, feline and avian.
Hubby Dearest went away for a few days with friends. A well-deserved break after a hectic few years.
And I was reminded of a Peanuts cartoon strip I read when I was younger: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder… so I’ve packed your bags.”
It made me giggle then, and still now, and yet it holds a lot of truth.
When the one you love isn’t there with you, you feel their absence keenly. Yet when you do love someone, you need to let them go sometimes to appreciate their worth.
And I welcomed him back with open arms, and a sleepy smile ( he arrived at 1 am!) most glad to have my love back home with me.

We’ve completed a week with our two feathered additions, Heer and Ranjha the parrotlets, to the family.
It’s been a time of adjusting and change for all.
As a cat, Sonu Singh is intrigued, but can’t work out why he can’t play with them!
The kids just want them to come out of the cage and perform tricks, or miraculously start speaking – the concept of settling, then training seems to be alien!
Hubby Dearest and I are busy, cleaning the cage regularly, and spending time talking to them. They are too scared for us to get too close yet.
Well, they were… But we had a great breakthrough the other day.
I placed my hand inside the cage and both of them flew onto my hand to eat!
They have, since, done the same on both the kids hands too, and this means they are suddenly more interesting to them. Now they fight to feed them, and I have to stop them from overfeeding the wrong seeds!
Sonu Singh watches…
