Owner requirement: ​

Hi my name is Pushka, I was surrendered to Lort Smith because of a street cat bully who would corner me outside my home.

Being the domesticated feline that I am I was too delicate to stand up to him.

My owners noticed a change in my demeanor at home and tried to calm my nerves.

This tom cat had taken over the neighborhood there was no place for me there. I'm so happy to be out of that situation.

Now I have been placed in the cattery to await a new family that will comfort and nurture me. I need a home to play, smooch and lay in the sun.

Surely if the previous owners kept the cat inside the local street cat bully would not have been an issue.

Speaking of cats, it seems the Tiger search engine is off on holidays.

It's VA's second DSC of the year! I used it to get me silver a little sooner earlier in the year.

So Virgin has decided to follow Qantas on general double SCs offer.

Hmmm. Gold a little out of reach and i have most flights booked. Could change my mind if there are more specials between now and 31 December.

The smart money is on a Boxing Day sale.

Fast work by my shift manager! I asked him at 1915 yesterday & he's texted me an answer at 0805 this morning after he's spoken to his immediate boss.

Not too surprising if headed each.yesterday was the first time sitting in a plane going through the de icing procedure,then needed to wait until the snow ploughs had finished their sweep of our taxiway at EWR.Kept thinking of old episodes of Air Crash Investigation!

I had better stay sober then.

And purchase some more gift vouchers.

Damn damn me for reading the T & C the way I wanted them to read rather than the reality. That said, there's more than one way to cook a steak.

Might go to London instead!

I know a few people in London who will be happy to see me!

It's now 39 degrees at MEL AP according to the BOM site.

I'm staying inside for the rest of the day.

But a week out from our stay it only had one day where the max temperature was going to be negative and 1 day of possible snow.In fact only 1 day did the max temp get to positive territory (1C) and 4/8 days of snow.

As long as it's not snowing/slushy!

I've been in TSV this week and it's been a cracker!

I'm telling the family this year. White Christmas for me next year. New York?

Will be a big year of travel. 23 day cruise to Shanghai on QM2; 1 month in Eastern Europe (Istanbul and Greece) and then a good two weeks in New York. Well, that's the plan anyway.

Gotta go out in the heat now. Shudder.

That's great news, blackcat20. One headache you didn't need in the lead up to Christmas.

Funny though that the new one starts on Jan 1, so this week and next week I'm working without a contract...
