Mundane News

[Illaveago]

Morning. I'll have to catch up later.
Whilst I was starting to tinker with the Yellow Peril in preparation for a cycle ride later today I noticed my neighbour's cat walking down my path with what looked like a bird or a mouse dangling from her mouth. As I got closer I could see that it looked a lead, it turned out to be a Slow worm. She saw that I wasn't too happy and darted through the fence to her garden but dropped it when I shouted at her to do so. The Slow worm just lay there motionless with what looked like a couple puncture sounds with traces of blood . I thought that it was dead and couldn't do anything as it was in her garden but a few minutes later it had disappeared. I don't think she came back for it.

I've just spent an hour looking for my Garmin watch this morning.

I'm having poached eggs for breakfast.

NettieTheDog has just been to the vets for a test.

It's platelets day today.

Four pieces of mundane news for the price of one

I am waiting for Mrs v R at the surgery.
I can read Koi Carp, Practical Caravan, or The Bear with the Blue Nose.

Anything in PC about towing with a Porsche?

Travel blankets, fold away chairs, empty Tupperware boxes 'just in case'....

Got 'em.

I've got a swimming lesson later, my second one, then I'm down the club drinking and playing bingo.

Mrs MY told me she killed a moth last night with her bare hands.

Henry was back to the vets yesterday for an x-ray.
He came home rather woozy and befuddled but I can report he is now back to his troublesome self.

The good news is his lungs appear to be clearing so he is continuing with his antibiotics and is back for another x ray on the 30th. We are really no further forward with a diagnosis but the drugs seem to be working and I'm am considerably poorer until the insurance company decide to reimburse me.

 

[raleighnut]

Give Henry a from me.

That Bill Nighy is in the lounge....

More like 20 mins... I've already downed my coffee..... I could almost have a second cup.....

I'll not say anything!

Legless lizards. Now that's something we don't have in the States. I think St. Patrick drove them away.

Get well soon, Henry!

Finally found insurance that isn't crippling for the car. £950, Fully comp, 20k miles per year, parked on a street in a roughish area with breakdown cover, windscreen and window cover (there's been a spate of windows being smashed lately so added it on) and without a black box for a 21 year old with no, no claims on a 1.6 Diesel is shockingly low.. Just waiting for them to call and say that the computer got it wrong!

May also be adding yet another bike to my collection tonight
