Thank you for all the lovely comments on last nights post. And thank you to Simone, Colette and Diane for joining my Pay it Forward. So if you missed putting your name down for mine, pop over to their blogs and sign up for one of theirs. They will send you some lovely handmade goodies.

I forgot to tell you about a brill concert Hubby took me to last Sunday Evening at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. We'll Meet Again.


It was a concert introduced by June Whitfield with the Manchester Concert Orchestra playing songs and tunes from the war years. There was a male signer and a trio of girls called The Swingcats, a tribute to George Formby, and two dancers doing Lindy-hop and jive. It was excellent, the sing along at the end was good with most people (except Hubby) singing along.


I came home Friday to find Lucy stalking one of my shoes. On closer inspection I could see a shrews bottom and tail and quickly took the shoe outside. I shook the shoe but the shrew hung on, I shook it harder, no the shrew clung to the innersole at the toe and would not budge. Eventually with lots of shaking, out he popped and scurried away squealing and squeaking in disgust. I can't think whats worse, being killed by a toothless but evil clawed Lucy or spending the day in one of my shoes!

It didn't help I later found Shrew Poo in my Shoe!!

  5. 'Shrew poo in my shoe' could make quite a catchy song! I have not posted about the PIF yet but will do so in a few days. I am glad you found another 2 PIF partners!!! x

  6. Poor little shrew.
    I ended up with Harry's wee on my Crocs this morning but the best thing about Crocs is they come up like new after a bit of a scrub with the nail brush....

  7. Lyn, you've found the name of your autobiography "Shrew Poo in my Shoe - (and other stories)". Trust me, it'll be a best seller! That Lucy literally gets away with murder because she's gorgeous. Half term is hopeful for a KS session? x

  12. Oh I so sympathise with you! With our 2 cats we get many offerings...Shrews seem to be their preferred choice too. Are they easier to catch maybe? Some come in knocked out. I wait for them to come round again and put them out away from the cats. Unfortunately most are dead by the time they get in to the house. I have never had one in my shoe yet. Poor you shrew poo in your shoe :-(

  13. What a naughty puss-cat. We're hoping to get a rescue cat soon and Mr M is not looking forward to the presents.

    Thanks for all your lovely comments recently over at mine. I use Picasa for my mosaics - 5x7 for rectangles. Works a treat. Cat x

  16. Hi Lyn

    Your concet sounded wonderful!

    I still can't believe how much your cats remind me of our Bella, I think I've commented before on what a lovely nature these Tabbies have - or maybe better put as what characters they are

    love your blog

  17. The concert sounds great! You made me smile with the 'Shrew in the Shoe' story - cats! Still love them though - even when trying to get a frightened mouse out from behind a heavy wardrobe at 4a.m.
