Horses, Soap and Cats.

The weather has been wooonderful for the past few days, although it did rain a little this afternoon.

I went to see the play War Horse in London on Thursday. It was a Christmas present to my nan. The show was completely booked up from Christmas so they were the earliest tickets we could get! So it ended up being a rather late Christmas present but oh well.

The play was really good and I was quite amazed by the puppets. They moved like real animals! It was quite sad though and I didn't realise quite how many horses were used in WW1. Apprently 1 million went over to France and only 62k came back. The ones that didn't die in combat were probably made into burgers :|

Other than that I have been spending silly amounts of time sitting in the sun and trying to do work. Went to Hobbycraft with some friends yesterday. I managed not to buy anything, so I am proud of myself! Kirsty is trying to find a new hobby and has made her first foray into soap-making!

Have also been trying to sort out some work experience for over summer. I have had a few 'no's but one kennel and cattery have said 'yes' :) So I need to sort out some dates for that. I have been depressing myself by looking at jobs and also looking into studying Chemistry A level again. It nearly killed me last time but I think I could get an A if I did it again.

Ooh, and it was Charlie's birthday on Saturday! He is one year old already.
Here is a picture of him at 18 days old with tiny ear nubblets:


Aaand this is him now, looking like a proper cat:


So I think that's all for now! I'm proud I have managed to keep this blog alive for over a week now :D
