Florida now... but was born in Massachusetts (usa) so grew up with cold long winters and spring thaws. (hey now you know why I have the Massa in my name!)
Cath:
How sweet! you never held a newborn? The first one I held my my nephew and he is only four years older than myself. He was ten pounds! so not really a "newborn" more like a month old baby, have a photo and he was half my size at age 4!
Do you have animal shelters? I know here in the states we have tax funded shelters that is for hurt and homeless animals. Need not pay to leave them either if you just found it.
Yes, yes off to lay down and try to sleep I confess to having a coke! and a non coffee drinker like myself can not handle it... should know better *tisk tisk*
