at one stage I was out there in early hours sitting outside cuddling the cat to get her warm and taking the cold of the wind and the rain on my back and I think she is better now.  anyway I just thought you have to admire her for sticking to her spot in the thunderstorms which she's really scared of and now I've tied an umbrella over her nest.  we both got a good sleep last night.  but it has made me realise how much it will hurt when she does die.  anyway off to the markets to see if I can buy her a nice piece of fish....
