Me - How do I upload it?
CP - Drag & drop, or use the paperclip icon and choose the file to upload.
Me - I tried that and it says the file format isn't supported.
CP - You're right, I can't do that yet. Let me give you some links to sites that can.

1 bag, under the seat in front of me, 4 nights away, no bother. I can't remember the last time I used the overhead lockers.

So sorry to hear this.
I never had a cat myself, but my parents had 2, and it was hard enough when they died (the cats, not my parents ๐Ÿ™‚) so I really feel for you. Sounds like you gave her the best life though.

A short clip of the Don Bosco brass band from Bamberg, playing at the Bedford-Bamberg beer festival yesterday.
Not the largest selection of beers (and only 1 from Bamberg itself!) but well worth the visit.

I once saw a dog at US border control that was checking for fruit and vegetables. It indicated a find on a bag that had no fruit or veg. The bag's owner said "I had some bananas in there a couple of days ago", and it was immediately decided that those were what the dog had detected
