turpsHoughton Feast ended on Saturday, and sadly it ended up on a sad note.
At 9:30 that night, in the main shopping street, an 18-year-old boy was stabbed, and I've just read he's died of his injuries. He was chased from the fair by a group of teens aged 14 to 17, and just, why bring knives to an event like the Feast? It makes no sense.
In completely different news, I've been asked back onto the mail survey again, so will be back posting and receiving letters and parcels again from the 29th. I knew my six months off was coming to an end so it wasn't that much of a surprise, but I did wonder about rejoining as I still have lots of stamps left after my last stint. But, it's always a good excuse to get out for a decent walk, especially in winter when it's cold and sometimes it's hard to want to leave the warm house.
I was just reminded I haven't mentioned Milo's new trick. He's been going up and downstairs happily. I put one of the cat beds on the landing as he was hanging out there, but two nights ago he used the steps at the foot of our bed, hopped over me and settled down next to my pillow like he's never been away.
I do wonder when his fur will start growing back, though. He's got tufts everywhere, but the majority is still really short.
