Nine Today!

Bit of an enigmatic title that one, but what could it mean? The time I'm going to the bank, the number of cats we've got, the amount Celtic Crusaders are going to score against Saints, or maybe the number of episodes of Ladies of Letters clogging up our Sky+ hard disc?

No, none of them, though they are all correct answers, it's Marli's birthday today and she's NINE!!!!!

It's not her real birthday (though there is a 365.25 to 1 chance that it is) but the anniversary of the day I travelled to Barcelona to collect her from Monica, the vet at the CAAD (animal refuge) in Castellbisbal, where I'd seen her on the internet.

It was love at first sight

This is us after 60 seconds together, and this is us after 4 years, still in love!
