How Was Your Day? VII

[swmc66]

It took me ages to catch up on corrie on Monday night. Five episodes back to back . At lunch time the next day i caught up with the monday 9pm episode. So at 8.55 last night i thought i was finally going to enjoy watching an episode in peace and quiet. Well there was no such chance.
So many neighbours came knocking on my door it was unbelievable. One for yogurt, another one to give me some food, another one asking me if i have details of a gardner. Then my husband came back from a Council meeting asking me about a woman who had turned up at 7pm re her passport. Finally a 17 year old friend of my son turned up after being made homeless by his stepdad. So ended up sorting him out and sorting blankets etc my husband will sort a place for him today hopefully. Now i need to sort out where i can watch corrie tonight without disturbance. I might drive 45 mins to Brentwood and watch with an old friend of mine.

You had a busy night indeed! I hope you manage to catch up with Corrie today - and that it was worth the wait!

I got me a gorgeous new family member today. Please welcome little Benny.
I spent weeks knitting him a blankie with his name on to welcome him to our home, and it turns out that he is actually a she. So she is now known as Bennita....Benny for short LOL. Isn`t she adorable.

Hello Benny, you are absolutely gorgeous xxx

Benny's absolutely beautiful, TL. I can tell she's going to be loved to bits!

Thanks so much Perdita and Dazzle ♥
Bennita has already settled in - even though she has only been here a few hours. She has decided that its fun to walk all over my keyboard and she closed out my windows...including pinned tabs. The little minx.
She`s so thin though - I can feel her ribs. So I will definitely have to fatten her up.
Bennita reminds me of another ginger and white kitten I had a few years ago. We adopted little Monty from the animal shelter. And we made sure he had all his jabs when he left the animal shelter. Unfortunately though he must have had feline leukemia in his system from birth as we had to take him to the vets to be put to sleep less than two years later.
We got Bennita from a friend of a friend from the same area where the animal shelter is located in Oak Hill. So I`m wondering if Bennita is a distant relative of Monty from a few generations....their colouring is too similar to be a coincidence.

Either way I am so delighted with her. After running around, she is finally napping now bless her heart,

Here is a picture of Monty to show you why I think they could be related somehow.

Yes, they are very similar. Poor Monty - I hope little Bennita is luckier than him.

I just couldn`t settle on her name Dazzle. I chose the name Benny the day he was born, and he was promised to me from day one. Apparently its quite rare for a ginger and white cat to be female.
But now she is at my home, and settled in beautifully, I have decided to call her Bessie. Her full name is Bessie Bumble because the orange and white stripes on her tail makes her look like a bumble bee.
Here she is on her blankie. But now she`s asleep on it. The poor little thing has had a long day and is tuckered out.

Yes, I'd forgotten about ginger and white cats being almost exclusively male. Their female equivalents are tortoiseshell and white cats (black, ginger and white). Bessie is probably one of the latter but with her dark patches missing.
