Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[Richard]

My 29 yr old son and his girlfriend came to visit this weekend (drove up from Brixton). We had a great weekend, but I had to put the living room back together while they were here as we had been decorating it. I had to put the curtain rails back up - and curtain rails are my bete noir; they will never do as they are told and are always fiddly. So I got a bit ratty.

 

Then afterwards, when I was sat down with a cup of tea (a bit cold 'cos I hadn't finished the tea cozy) he gave me a card that they had obviously brought up with them.

 

Outside it had a line drawing of a chicken flying to the sun, and it said;

 

GETTING OLDER

May each year be a feather on the glorious Chicken of Life as it soars UNTAMED and BEAUTIFUL towards the golden Sun.

 

Inside he had written;

Dear Dad, Happy Chicken Day.

 

I've got a lovely son and am very lucky.

That was a really thoughtful gesture - fair warms your cockles doesn't it?

 

Nice one Richard's Son.

[Richard]

did he make it or buy it?

 

He bought the card - from a range called 'the interesting thoughts of Edward Monkton!

 

He's a good lad!

That's brilliant now you need to find a frame and put it on the wall (or is it just me that does things like that?)
