Good news, bad news, cats, numbers

Good news: I have finally found a perfect chocolate in Germany.

Bad news: It's even more expensive than Green & Black's.

Random news: Everything is better with cats. Even novels. Case in point: Marge Piercy's He, She and It, which benefitted hugely from the sudden appearance of two ten week old kittens in it, who are now mentioned regularly, even when they do not advance the plot. I suppose there's something sad about the fact that I go into 'cat squee' mode even just *reading* about kittens...

Anyone here have any experience with allergen-desensitising treatment? Because I think I really, *really* have reached the point where I need to get a cat.
