Staying with a friend of mine and his wife, Paul and Aileen, they have two cats. First off they would not come near me. Last night the male cat, Boodrow, sidled up to me.... I was reading "The girl who kicked the hornet's nest" by Stieg Larson. What a story! Finished on a high note. Pity this guy died in 2004. But it was an excellent read. Thanks Angela for introducing me to the first of the three books.
