turpsI met up with Kayleigh for a coffee yesterday and found out she'd booked a very last minute -- in that she booked yesterday and was going away today -- holiday to Butlins for her, Lucy and Bodhi. They went this morning and as she has three cats, I'm on morning cat-checking duty from tomorrow until Friday, while one of her friends will do the evenings.
I didn't know about the holiday until we met at Costa so Kayleigh called in on the afternoon to pick up her birthday present, so another reason it was good I got them bought early, and then she spent a frantic evening trying to pack last minute for two adults and a 13-month-old.
Today I've booked Milo in for a nail clip on Friday. He's been tip-tapping while walking for a while but the other day in bed he overbalanced and caught my lower eyelid with his claw. I was deeply asleep at the time and waking up suddenly to the realisation I had a cat claw so close to my eye was not fun, plus it hurt. So, off he goes to get them clipped.
Yesterday was nicely productive house-wise. We'd bought a new cube-style unit to replace the fish tank cupboard and it's been sitting and getting in the way for a while. So, I hauled the fish cupboard outside, put the old kitchen chairs that have been stored in the living room for weeks into the greenhouse, and got that corner sorted. I managed to consolidate six kitchen overspill bags into three and the storage cubes are ideal at hiding clutter so everything is looking nice back there. Plus, I can now shut the blinds without having to crane over chairs, bags and stuff while precariously balancing.
As always I'm enjoying Strictly and loved the smaller pro dance last night. Adam Lambert performed 'Mad About the Boy' and Nikita and Carlos danced beautifully together. Which I'm sure inflamed the 'Strictly is too woke now' idiots but it sucks to be them as the performance was lovely.

Thank you for sharing that video! The dance was lovely, and I'm always happy to see Adam getting exposure.

Adam sounded so good and looked fantastic. I wish I went places where I could wear sparkly make-up like his, not that I'd look as good as he does *g*
