Characters can be illusive

So… I beat technology, again, and the upshot is my blog is up and running again. So here I am at the keyboard tapping away and hoping to write something amazing. But the only sounds are prowling cats… all those characters who usually shout so loudly to grab my attention are hiding, whispering amongst themselves. They’ll probably all come charging out at once, if I just look the other way for a moment.

Well the illusive characters are staying remarkably quiet today, but one of the cats has jumped on my knee and tried to bite the button on my cardi, I’m not sure if there’s a story in that, but as ever, he wants to be the centre of attention.
