The jemjabella household is a bit of a zoo, covering several different species: from pedigree cats to exotic spiders. While a hundred (exaggeration) pets might not be everyone's idea of fun, and there's no shortage of cleaning duties to be had, there's always something furry looking for a cuddle and a fuss.
Apart from being incredibly relieved because I now have a week off work to chill out and forget about e-mail problems, deadlines etc, I have also been quite anxious because today Hex was booked in for de-noodling.
