Posted on February 9, 2017 by thepogblog

On Sunday I leave Pog Towers for good – the house is (finally) nearly sold. Unfortunately, for a number of reasons, I’ve chosen to break the chain, so I wont be moving into my new house just yet.  Hopefully that’s only … Continue reading →

Posted on February 5, 2017 by thepogblog

Today was weird.  For the first time in over six and a half years I was Normanless at Pog Towers.  At his last check up the vet had said his teeth were in a bit of a state (‘don’t you … Continue reading →

Don’t mind the gaps

Posted on December 31, 2016 by thepogblog

This time last year I said I didn’t think there would be time for resolutions. It turns out leaving some gaps was a good plan. I’ve done the usual pog things – crocheted, baked (mostly badly), yoga-ed, spent lots of … Continue reading →

Posted on December 19, 2016 by thepogblog

I seem to be collecting pointless conversations at the moment. Here’s a couple, just so you can share in their pointlessness (well, it is the season of sharing): The house selling saga continues (the buying part has taken on a … Continue reading →

Guarding raindrops

Posted on November 4, 2016 by thepogblog

It’s Friday.  It’s the end of the week.  It’s raining.  But the week is nearly over and the relaxation can almost start.  Until you realise that the dripping of that rain on the conservatory isn’t just outside.  It’s inside and … Continue reading →

Belated Black Cat Apprecation. Sorry Norman.

Posted on August 19, 2016 by thepogblog

Wednesday was Black Cat Appreciation Day.  I think Norman knew; he had an air of ‘appreciate me’ about him.  Today he has an air of ‘I’m going to be a pain in the backside until you appreciate me’ about him, … Continue reading →
