I had three clients and a supervision hour today
It felt a long day.
I worked 10am to 3pm
Instead of going home we drove into Cheshire to have tea with an old friend on the last day of his holiday.
He’s recently became a widower after 36 years and cried after Roger hugged him crossed legged in only the way Welsh terriers do
The dogs loved the pampering.
It rained all the way home and I’ve realised that I don’t enjoy driving at night
Another nasty realisation that I’m getting older.
The twins bounced downstairs when we arrived after dark
And walked, yowling, inbetween everyone’s legs before dinner was served.
I hate coming home to a dark house,
But the kittens , as Albert did before them,
Make it feel like home.
I’ve been waiting all morning and now afternoon, where the HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ! lol

So what?
DeleteMy fuzzy-feets meet me at the door and I don't feel lonely when I come home to a house without other humans in it.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet to be welcomed home by Weaver and Bun. No doubt Albert told them how much you love that!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you need a lamp on a timer so there is a welcoming glow from the window(s) when you arrive after dark?
Hope your feet are up after enjoying time with your friend, good food, and delightful conversation.
Hugs!
My Peggy is always at the door when I come in.. I do miss cats rubbing up on my legs at dinner time. Your house is now a home with the addition of the kittens. Nice that they come to greet you. Gigi
ReplyDeleteYou've had a busy and productive day.
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are adorable and just what is needed after a long day.
I stopped driving after dark about a year ago. I'm scared of hitting a pedestrian -- they all seem to wear dark clothes and dart across the street without any warning nowadays.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see you see how you truly
ReplyDeleteappreciate the kittens...
rest well -Mary
I don't like driving in the rain, I seldom drive in the dark. I get it. Glad you had a nice welcoming party when you got home.
ReplyDeleteI used to wonder what the big deal was when driving at night. Well, dang now I know! Hehe! The twins were a great addition. Take care, Sharon in Colorado USA
ReplyDeleteSounds like the kittens lighten up that dark house quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteI time my travels to avoid night driving too. I love the mental picture of your homecoming. I am glad you have your happy menagerie.
ReplyDeleteSo happy that the twins are being so good for you. Even though we know they want dinner first !
ReplyDeleteCould you put a lamp on a timer, to turn on when it gets dark? We have that and in the middle of winter, it's nice.
ReplyDeleteI have a harder time driving at night, and driving at night in the rain is the hardest, so much reflection.
Our dogs and cats are always pleased to see us when we return. It does compensate a bit.
ReplyDeleteAm one with the comments of others - a sidelight on a timer or even a 24 hour light, is very helpful for coming into an empty house, if only so you don't fall over your own feet and baggage! Recognising you no longer like driving in the dark or bad weather are not reasons for stopping doing it. My maxim remains that of Dame Thomas Hird: "It's not getting old that stops you doing things, it's stopping doing things that makes you get old."
ReplyDeleteSorry, Spellchecker strikes again - Dame Thora Hard. Sorry about that. Was ok until I had pressed the button!
DeleteRoger is such a sweet boy. I love that scene of the kittens welcoming you all home, and hopefully you can relax a bit more with their introduction to the household and just enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of Roger to comfort your friend. Animals do sense our moods. I echo the others, a lamp on a timer will not only welcome you home, but deter burglars. I miss my cats padding downstairs to greet me. I'm glad the twins are filling that need for you. Job done! xx
ReplyDeleteI am two years older than you and now don't like driving in the dark. It's definitely an age thing. Lovely to have the kittens greet you when you get home.
ReplyDeleteDrove to and from a country restaurant last night in pouring rain. The restaurant is a bit out of the way so tiny country lanes were needed - the sort where two cars can’t pass everywhere…that and looking out for potholes made for an interesting drive.
ReplyDeleteI never understood my uncle who refused to drive once it was dark, now I do. I hate it. A lovely welcome home from the kittens. Maybe a lamp on timer would welcome you home.
ReplyDeleteMy pets make my house our home. I ordered a pair of those sleek night goggles b/c I too hate to drive at night. They are hideous looking (giant, orange-tinted glasses), but they do actually cut down on the glare. I definitely don't look trendy, but I don't care; at least I can see better.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a big day. I'm glad you have your furry companions to welcome you
ReplyDeleteDear Roger!
ReplyDeleteCeci
I miss my little kitties face at the door when I come home.
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to be welcomed into the house by our furry companions - I wouldn't be without mine.
ReplyDeleteAt 62, I find that it's the glare from LED lights that cause me problems when driving at night. Ageing, cloudy eyes are more affected. I gather the govt are looking at this - but any solution would have to be implemented Europe-wide. Talk of making this part of an MOT.
Nice to get home after a busy day.
ReplyDeleteOh, I so get not being a fan of driving at night, John. The glare is made worse in rain or snow, too. I basically just stay in after 6 p.m. most days! Kittens have a way of adding such playful and joyous energy to a home, don't they? Your poor friend, I can't imagine navigating life alone after 36 years. So glad Roger could give him some love.
ReplyDeleteWell considering you refuse to go to an optometrist I am not surprised you have trouble driving at night.
ReplyDeleteA friend in her early seventies had cataract surgery recently and said she wants her son with her to see how she does driving at night. I don’t know if she appreciated unfiltered me asking why she would need to drive at night
ReplyDeleteAround here my reasons to avoid driving at night are deer and moose. Hit the former and you are in a bad way.
