Feeling Sorry for Saffy (and Pluto)
Poor Saffy! She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s off to the vet today. I noticed a few days ago that she kept licking and biting at a spot on her back, but thought she must just have had a flea or something and didn’t think anything more of it. But last night MrPloppy noticed…
And the diagnosis is…
She’s allergic to fleas. I didn’t even know she had fleas (despite what I said above about thinking it was a flea bite – I hadn’t seen the other two scratching, and thought it was still winter enough that there wouldn’t be any around, so wasn’t that worried about fleas) but the vet found flea…
You are feeling sleepy…
Actually, who cares about you, I’m feeling sleepy! After Dad and Stepmother left for the airport yesterday morning, I played around on the internet for a while, then tried going back to bed, but by the time I finally got back to sleep I only got about an hour before I had to get up…
Did I say something about spring weather?
It’s sleeting outside. In other news, a catch from the 150th celebrations: Hallelujah Now by T Davies. It was caught in a different place to where I left it, so obviously someone else has caught and re-released it in between, without making a journal entry.
4.30 am and all's well
Dad and Stepmother arrived in Christchurch last night (bearing gifts of blue cod and wild pork – we’re going to be eating well this week!), on their way to Australia. Their flight is at 7 am, which of course means a 5 am check-in, so they’ve just left for the airport. And of course after…
To shut he budding sentimental
The spam subject lines just keep getting weirder. It’s strange – for weeks all I get are the usual viagra (misspelt in every conceivable way) and “earn $$$ in your free time” spam, and then suddenly there’ll be a spate of strange subject lines for a few days. At least it gives me some amusement…
Answers for PixieKitten
PixieKitten’s question was: Give me the reader digest edition of where you stand on all the big issues – religion, politics, sex, drugs and music =) Wow, you don’t go for the trivial, do you? Ok, here goes. Religion I’m an atheist. I was brought up as a vague sort of Christian (I think we…
Congo candidate huge bedraggle
Yes, it’s the return of the weird spam headers! I’ve had a pretty non sort of week since I last posted here (which is why it’s been a week since I last posted here…). I spent most of last week paying for the fact that I’d had a day off work by trying frantically to…
Jupiter, tablet, and glory rings
Well, Friday’s sale went spectacularly well, and I managed to cope ok with the new money. I was seriously exhausted by the end of the day, though – I’d forgotten just how tiring working in retail is – all that endless smiling and being nice to people, not to mention the wear and tear on…
