[Kazz]

Blinking heck okay what did I say "Goodbye Berlin or Hello Berlin.

[pamela81]

im also sticking with elaines answer

[Kazz]

Going with "Good Bye Berlin" Wow this is hard work. Need another Baileys.

[pinklizzy]

Imogen is doing so well after her op, her eyes are 100% better and she's a much happier little cat. I feel quite guilty now though that it was obviously affecting her more than we realised :( Darcy is still a bouncy loon but such fun to have around, most of the time!
Erin loves them both although she got a pretty good scratch the other day after trying to wrap Imogen up in her blanket to play 'babies'!
Must try and catch up with you all :D

[angieh]

I'll go with Elaine too .......... she's got the book!

[Shelley123]

Berlin Stories written by Christpher Isherwood, is a book consisting of 2 short novels, Goodbye to Berlin and Mr Norris Changes Trains.

[Kazz]

But mine is right, I have the book......


Blinking heck I am going back to Elaine.

[angieh]

Imogen is doing so well after her op, her eyes are 100% better and she's a much happier little cat. I feel quite guilty now though that it was obviously affecting her more than we realised :( Darcy is still a bouncy loon but such fun to have around, most of the time!
