16 hours later , 11pm , after I'd gone to bed , suddenly heard his miaouws , have'nt a clue where he's been , though I'd put 30 copies of a letter through peoples doors politely requesting them to check their
sheds and garages , so maybe that paid off .
Leo seems absolutely fine , and , though I coped really quite well with his totally unprecedented 16 hr
disappearence I did become quite emotional at seeing him again , which , to be honest , not being the
worlds greatest optomist , I had'nt really expected to . . .

Leo's been missing for over 12 hrs now : He went straight out , before his breakfast , and no sign of him since ~ Have spoken with neighbours and others and stuck some notices on telegraph poles and trees , offering a £50 reward . . . So far , nothing .
Either someone took him , which seems unlikely as he's not been seen out the front , by the road , or he was run over or had some other bad accident which seems unlikely too , or - and
there's access for him to various gardens from the back of the house - he's got shut in someones shed or garage , and will return when they've opened it by tomorrow morning .
He's only 7 and a half months and has never been missing for more than a couple of hours before .
If there is any 'meaning of life' I suspect it's that we're here to learn lessons , but , as if I have'nt learnt quite enough thank you about loss , grief and anguish already .

I thought I'd like 'the butterfly effect'  , on tv tonight , but it turned out to be a trashy teen movie
with intellectual pretensions .
My lovely feline friend for some reason loves being on my lap in front of  my laptop ; Occasionally I wonder what it'd be like to have a tail ;
I seem to remember my Dad once telling me that , at school , some other boys thought he was Jewish (he may have been one quarter and I may be one eighth) , and that they thought that 'jews' had tails . . .
Three out of three winning bets this month .
