Yip burnie, great attitude. I’ve been doing similar for 5 years now but still get scanaxiety every 3 months!!!

You too Jay x

Snoop - I saw a picture somewhere of a dog with a swimming noodle wrapped around their neck a couple of times. Fastened on with a cord threaded through the hole in the middle. Might work for a cat too , but cut shorter!
Wouldn't work stopping them from washing their face and ears, but might just be enough to stop them reaching abdominal sutures?
No idea but it’s a thought.

Hope Missy is ok. Semi drunk cats are a hoot…but I shouldn’t be unkind should I ?

[Nicos]

Yikes bramble…say no more….I’ll be putting my name for a jab for sure next year! Sorry you were so ill.
And Lottie- you’re clearly run down. Not surprising really. Speedy recovery lass.

Missie is sitting on my shoulder and purring at the moment. Made possible because she's not wearing a cone as it was keyhole surgery. Stitches on the inside (no idea how they manage the last one, mind). Which might explain why it cost an arm and two legs. No pills to force down her neck, no cream to apply to a huge wound and no need to go back to the vet's again. So much less stressful for everyone.

Aww lottie hope you get better soon!! Thinking about you! ❤️
Thats amazing Snoop, my son has taken possession of a kitten from Cats Protection. Think she is around 17 weeks now. What age is Missy? Just wondering if Bebe will have the op soon. My son is going to hate it. I’ll tell him about Missy and her keyhole surgery!

[Jay22]

Glad to hear you’re better too bramble! x

That’s amazing surgery and so much easier for her. Glad she’s ok

Mornin n’alln’all

Dull morning here and doesn’t seem to want to get light. At least it’s not raining! Had enough of rain for now.

More pottering for me today.
Yesterday,whilst the oven was on, I made a quiche, hot pot and a lemon cake, so not really got any cooking/ baking to do today. Our new oven should be arriving soon . It’s been really difficult cooking recently with the old one to be honest. We should find out on Friday when it’s due.
I was tempted to make the paradise cake but I’m saving that for the new oven…don’t want a ‘ soggy botty’ or a burnt one!

Hope people are feeling a bit better today? Speedy recovery.
Hope Missy spent a good night?

Keep safe and enjoy your day peeps and remember to pass on that smile of yours

Morning all.

Missie seemed to have a good night. I fell asleep to her playing with a toy mouse on her chair. She's out and about this morning with Frankie.

And rather them than me to be honest. There's a really hard frost.

Got a bit of work to do today and then the day's my own. A bit of baking I suspect as it's supposed to be bright and sunny, so there's electricity to spare on the mixer and proofer.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning

Very frosty here this morning it looks like someone's painted my GH white.

Good news about Missy, keyhole surgery is going to make a huge difference to her recovery and much easier for you.

Take care Lottie xx

Enjoy your day

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Hard frost here too, but very sunny. Hope the poorly ones are feeling better. Have a good day

[greenishfing]

Good morning all.

A frost here too, and despite bright sunshine, it's in no hurry to disappear. It's only 1°C. I've just had a peek at the weather forecast for the next few days, and it seems as if we are expecting more snow and sleet. Definitely " batten down the hatches" weather.

I may pop up to my little local Sainsburys later as I've had a parcel delivered there, a birthday present for one of the great nephews. I'm not venturing out until the car has self-defrosted, though.

I'm trying to decide what to make for our evening meal today, and getting nowhere fast.

I hope everyone's starting to feel better, healthwise. Try and keep warm everybody.
