I'm Lorna. I write, I read and I live quite happily in Edinburgh with my husband, our daughter, lots of books, a few fish, and computers called Hemingway, Truman, Frank, and Rose. I’m 40, I have CP, and I'm a wheelchair-user. I've been writing at Gin & Lemonade since 2010.
Love it! I have a neurotic cat that will ONLY sit on the edge of the tub. He has sat there for months! He won’t even drink out of his water bowl on the floor, I have to set it on the edge of the tub for him. He will eat from his food bowl though… strange cat!
Ha, Ha!! I’ve been waiting to read your post all day as I am in a bit of a writer’s block mode…couldn’t wait to see what insight you had ….ha, ha! I love it!

Hi. I’ve chosen you for the Versatile Blogger Award. I was chosen (http://writeorrevisedaily.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/versatile-blogger-award/) and, in turn, you are one of my chosen 15. Congratulations and keep up the great work on your blog!
The rules of this nomination are as follows:
1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass this award along to 15 others.
4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.
I’ve got four. None of them belongs to me. They just live here, cos it’s better than living with the neighbours who are their official humans. The neighbours don’t appear to actually like cats much, and I always feel that’s a key qualification for owning a cat. They (the cats, not the neighbours) take it in turns to sit on my work diary on the desk. It would be rude to push a diary-sitting kitty aside, so I have to go through the day not really knowing what I’m supposed to be doing next.
PS Am enjoying your blog. My friend comes from Edinburgh (she lives in the south now) and she says Edinburgh is the most haunted city in Europe or something, is that right? She won’t sleep in her parents’ flat when she goes up there to visit cos something moves the bed.

Ah yes, the great feline “you’re done here” pose.
Variations include:
The “less working, more petting” – http://twitpic.com/7mry5y
The “less working, more feeding” – http://twitpic.com/82piwu
That said, that is one precious-looking kitty!
I love those, and your book stacks! Thanks for sharing!
you don’t stand a chance!
Rarely. 😉
Oh, perfect! I’ll have to add my cat to the list of excuses. Does it count if I intentionally place her on the notebook or computer? I think it does.

Zen and Cat Photos…:)
That’s gotta be annoying.
I know, right?!

Crossed paws are a sign of good breeding. Or is that good reading?
Whichever. 🙂
Both. 😉
My cat does the same! Or gets on top of my computer so I could pet her, lol.

The old “you’ve-ignored-me-long-enough” pose.
