I saw the consultant yesterday for what I hope was the final time. That was eight weeks from the operation and he had asked to see me two weeks early because the first set of X-Rays had looked good. I had more X-Rays and the good news was that this time the bones are in […]
You’ll remember the mystery hole in the garden which we were hoping might be the den of some aquatic creature? Well R brought the trail camera in and we got the photos off it… Here is some wildlife investigating the hole. And half entering in! It is Lucky. So from that I think we may […]
I washed R’s sheets and towels while he was away and put clean ones down on the stripped bed for ten minutes before coming back with the intention of making the bed. But Saphy was already on guard, making sure that everything was safe for her Lord’s return.
I was just reading an article about how people would pay “£15 for a takeaway pizza with no problem”, while they would demur at paying £15 for fish and chips. Actually the second one I do think is somewhat value for money as decent cod is expensive and the process of making real fish and […]
R and J were investigating the pond and found this hole in the bank. We wondered if it could possibly be an otter’s holt entrance (though apparently they normally go for around the roots of trees). We have seen an otter in the pond a couple of times but that was many years ago. R […]
The joke dessert from the cats’ birthday party came with the lines A riddle now to end our song And close the meal with something strong We’ll bring a present in a tray The same as we do every day. No one got this joke – they came up with answers like “a bird”. This […]
Our three cats do not know their birthdays (or perhaps better to say that we do not know their birthdays, as I don’t think cats are really that up on the whole concept). Saphy and Amber came to us from Cats Protection as “sisters” but I am fairly sure they are not biologically related. Amber […]
Rather like some pornographic pictures, you can rotate this one without ever working out which way up it is supposed to go. Saphy is actually a naughty girl and getting naughtier. As well as her ongoing mega-project to destroy all the furniture in the house (two examples of many below), she has actually been […]
R went to a conference last month (in Sheffield of all the glamorous places). Normally you get a gift bag with a whole load of the inevitably branded pens, bottle openers etc. that such things attract. But at “Steelcon” they have a variety on this, in that they provide a small tube with a plug […]
The Apple Home Hub has proved to be super useful so far. We have used it for:- Intercom – this was what we bought it for. R and I can send voice messages between rooms. Great for ordering coffee and announcing that the lunch is ready. Also for those “Mr. Watson, come here, I want […]
