Hi,
thanks to all who helped with some of my previous posts but I havn't posted outcomes, very sorry; yes did find the shoemaker in the underground market & he did a good job replacing the velco on the leather straps which only cost 20tl & they are now more secure.
Noodles, I did actually find the cats I was looking for

, took a few more days but they turned up one night I called on them; still there when I left but never they tired of the chicken.
Anyone frequenting Tin Tin

please give 'One Eye' something, tell her I was asking for her & will see her again in a few weeks & tell Rami not to torment her
Thanks again to all for their help & advice.
Kind regards
Roy.
