They finally managed to buy a flat only it was too late for my dad a s he died some years later. I am the lucky one to have inherited it and live in it. I know I am unable to move and that sometimes makes me restless especially now that the neighbourhood has become noisy and very dirty. But I try to see the good point in it , that it is very near the city centre and the beautiful seafront where we walk our dog! I am lucky that this flat is free from loans unlike the summer huse in which I have to pay a huge loan still for the next fifteen years. That gain feels me with fear and discomfort lest I am unable to pay the loan one day and lose the house but on the other hand it is so near the sea and we can swim and spend summers there so I try to work hard for it! I hope you see them one day!AriadnefromGreece!Ariadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758280304985620260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281741899710965189.post-92048640500007223532016-05-10T15:42:50.757+03:002016-05-10T15:42:50.757+03:00I know I cou;dn't do that.

I don't listen to music much, usually in the car or at some tavern. I guess the fact that music is shorter (as songs tend to be less than 3 minutes) is easier to listen to again and again whereas a book is more difficult to read and reread. I rarely reread books.

One facet that makes these decisions even more painful for foster cat parents who allow the world to join them on camera is that no matter how absolutely correct the decisions are there will always be viewers who, in the chat that accompanies the broadcast, find it necessary to be critical and go on about how the decision should be different. This only makes it SO much more difficult or as you say, painful. These foster parents need tough skins to go with their fragile hearts.PhyllBeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989279973353942083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281741899710965189.post-45054592183390847152016-04-09T01:06:58.456+03:002016-04-09T01:06:58.456+03:00Thank for your wonderful story.

It belonged to a neighbour, her name was Tommie and she used to spend a lot of time with us when we were there. That was long before we decided to adopt Barca. Tommie was such a great and friendly dog and made me trust dogs more. I was so sorry when she died some years ago as if she was our own.
