It's been a while ...
So here's Josh today when I came home from Berlin ...
He was bouncing around like mad and then he was just cuddly.
I'm so happy to be back home, all the kitties are ok and I'm ok again, too.
The Musical Mama Mia! was fantastic! What a show! Great actors and great music. OK it was ABBA, it IS great!
Berlin is an amazing city. We've seen a lot, yesterday we just watched people...nothing more. It's wonderful to do this...
I think I told you we've been invited by Wolfgang's cousin. So no hotel would be needed, he told us.
He's a single . That's ok. But the flat - if I would call it like that. Dust and dirt wherever you are. And the smell!
We had to sleep between snakes, spiders, lizards and scorpions together with 2 big dogs, his cousin and dozens free running mice. We couldn't get a hotel room because of the holidays so we had to stay there for 3 f..... nights.
I never felt so dirty in my life. We couldn't use the bathroom because of hairs on the floor, water and something nonedescriptly around the toilet and the bathtub, there was no shower so Wolf and I went to a swimming pool nearby to get a shower. It was pure horror. When we came back home today I was in the shower for more than 1 hour and now - looking at our flat - I feel like a queen. I don't have to mention I didn't sleep more than 3 hours the last days and now I'm so tired, I can't sleep. Good for me. Time to catch up with my wonderful and very much missed f-list.
I'm so glad knowing you around. Now I'll enjoy my beautiful life here more than ever!
Love and lots of hugs, zillions of stars and all the best from my roof-top

Today I'm smiling about it, it's unbelievable how someone wants to live that kind of way.
*shivers*
How are you, sweetie? How's your family? How are your cats?

Josh is doing well, today he won't move because of the heat here. He took a shower voluntarily when I watered the flowers. Now he's sound asleep in our hamock together with our second outdoor cat Minzie.

Raoul died June 19, although I didn't post about it until a month later, July 15. I just wasn't up to it.
Journal entry mentioning Raoul: http://mechtild.livejournal.com/94314.html
Pixie, who had been perking up after our trip out east for a family reunion, became suddenly very ill and she died June 16, the day after I posted about Raoul.
Here's the LJ entry about her:
http://mechtild.livejournal.com/94541.html
Writing the entry was a huge help to me, trying to take it all in and process it, because it was so sudden to me.
Angelo, Pixie's son, is our only cat now. He still is very lonely, although she's been dead for almost two weeks. He's never been an only cat. We have reserved a new kitten with a breeder that raises cats like Pixie, but the kittens won't be available to adopt until November. He'll just have to learn to be patient, as will we all.

Love and biggest hugs for my Rammsteinchen!

You're right, that it's been too long. Maybe some time over this weekend?

Maxi, Lilly, Luna, Mousy and Frida, as well as 2 outdoor cats Minzie and Josh. They are amazing animals, right?
I love your comments, a simple hello always makes me smile, sunshine!
Don't smack yourself, so come here, I want to give you a big hug (((((((((((((YOU))))))))))
