started the month out with extreme flooding in our Town that devastated us. The main shops in town were gutted with flood waters well past waist-height.  It most likely will be months before they (hopefully) can recover. Then we ended up with mice in our house. So had to spend ages trying to catch them (humanely) and find where they were getting in, block it up and disinfect all the areas they had been. So, that was how the month ended. Finally, our beloved elderly cat Walter started to deteriorate and we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him cross the rainbow bridge. Honestly, I am getting really disheartened with everything right now.
