officially summer

Well officially summer today in this neck of the woods…may not be tomorrow so I’m ignoring all the work I should be doing and have headed out to the garden where the weeds know it is summer and have done for a while.

Merry the duck is growing…fast …and getting feathers, and now lives outside the house even at night (phew) but the kids still delight in bring him in to play with

PB040882 I took him up to the garden today and taught him to eat slugs (yum) he also likes worms (not so good) and lettuce (darn)

A week ago, our poor cat was nearly put down.

P8170456

Before school, Sian came upstairs to say that Pionjar wasn’t right. On investigation she seemed to have gone blind overnight.

I was busy that day, but rang the vet to tell her things weren’t so good with the cat. (She is 18 years old after all) we arranged a time for the next day.

The next day she looked a bit better and was coping with her blindness, so we decided to see how she went for a while. Since then she has steadily improved and even gained back some sight.

She is being very pampered of course, all the kids leap up to open the door for her. Special food from the supermarket and so on. but I don’t know if she’ll be with us much longer.

Sorry to hear about your cat. At least she knows she is loved, and that's the best you can do.
