There was hardly any wind which made the 24F(-4.4C) it got up to seem almost like tee shirt weather

My ex and I kept several cats. All foundlings.

The one thing you really need to know in advance is:

Your cat will always puke on the living room carpet just before your guests ring the doorbell.  And she will always compete with any other crisis in your life, by suddenly becoming very ill and needing the vet right now.

Aside from that, they are a doddle to care for.

Good luck !

Omg, cat sick is the worst to clear up, it smells so utterly vile.
Any tips on best ways to clean it up, lol ?

Hyke is right. it depends on the cat, and what exactly they ate. But cats' digestive systems are designed to work like that, so I hear.  A healthy cat will make herself sick, once in a while, to clear out the crud. Usually they do this by eating grass.

Don't be fooled into thinking the poor thing can't help it. Cat vomit attacks can be very deliberately targetted .

Sadly I've no tips. I think l  must have blotted out the trauma of cleaning the damned stuff up. :LOL:

I will have to invest in nose pegs.
I tend to start retching in the presence of any bad smells... other than my own, though sometimes those are pretty bad  :lol1:

Well, today, a member of my meetup group messaged me a deal with groupon for a distance learning/online diploma in forensic science and profiling...needless to say, I have gone for it since I had been looking into this anyway weeks ago and not got round to doing anything about it. I hope I will do well. Only £24.

No, it's a Skype interview. :)

I've got another interview next week. I'm popular, all of a sudden.

Not an easy one to explain... basically a presales and field engineer role for the company's clients. They make a database ideally suited for what these days is called big data.

It's a very cool company, one that I really would like to work for if the job is right.

It's weird how job interviews come in batches. It's like the recruiters coordinate with each other.

Wishing you more good luck.

I didn't have to, yet. I'm saving them for later. :zoinks:

One of the two in my case was initiated by a recruiter. The other is based on a reference and introduction I got from a colleague at the conference last weekend. He sent an email to the head of a department at the company where he works, recommending me, and that was enough.

Both of these are really exciting.
