... when you're starting a new job, having a shared ownership flat purchase fall though and have move to a rental property all the way out in Zone 4! Another words I have plenty of excuses for not updating this for the past 6 months, but I am back now and have lots to catch you up with, including a trip to Amsterdam, an amazing Icelandic holiday, and some theatre reviews. First however let me start my introducing you to the newest member of my household. The Dark Lord Sauron.

Sauron joined our family in October after our landlord, at that time agreed, to let us keep a pet cat. When we first met Sauron his name was Wiley, and he was living in a vets practice whilst a new home was found for him. Luckily my friend is a veterinary nurse at that practise and after seeing a picture of him on Facebook I decided we had to adopt him. Once we got him home it was clear to us he needed a more iconic name. After going through a range of one-eyed related names (Winky, Xander, Cyclops, etc) we finally settled on Blinkers, however somehow we had forgotten all about Sauron! This was a huge mistake on my side (having previously owned rats called Gandalf and Pippin, LOTR names should be second nature to me). Luckily this was picked up by John (of The Southsea Munch fame) and we rechristened him The Dark Lord Sauron.

He is one of the friendliest cats I've ever met and a complete and utter softy. If I sit down for more than 5 seconds he is straight on my lap for a fuss. Due to flat issues, and the previously mentioned flat sale fall through, in the 4-5 short months we've had him Sauron has lived in three different places, but he is now happily settled in our new flat. We have a small garden and are quite far from the nearest road but I am yet to decide whether he will be an outdoor cat, but for now he is enjoying all the comforts of home!
