Had a muddy walk but managed to stay upright 😁 lovely day.
Returned to the vets with the extra medication I'd got yesterday- wrong dose! I opened them and wondered how the hell I'd get them down the cat they were huge. Gave me 400mg instead of 40mg! All sorted now

Threw my Christmas wreath together yesterday. I was pleased to find the local garden centre were giving away tree offcuts for a donation to the hospice I already volunteer for 😊
Enjoyed clipping bits from the garden and putting it together. May wear thin after the next 3 I need to make

I had a relaxing lift arranged for the trip up to Scotland for my daughter's wedding. In a last minute change of plan, I'm now driving it 😬
My friend's car has broken down and she was supposed to be driving her daughter there. Can't leave a bridesmaid behind!

Barry freaked me out with this pupil shape, I was sick with worry. Later it became more normal. Had a phone call with the vet and she's reassured me. Will follow up in a month. OMG, I'm now indulging in a worry free morning 😊

Had a late evening trip to the vets, the eye drop caused Barry's pupil to contract. It was odd to look at! He's ok today, pupil was back to normal and the eye drop hasn't altered it this time. He gashed me pretty hard during the medication session. A little pay back

More cat woe, vet reckons his left pupil is slightly larger, more eye drops for 7 days.
Left husband to be driven mad by a hemmed in cat. I am panic buying in Leeds for my daughter's wedding in 2 weeks 😬

Its been a rotten few days, Barry came off worse in a cat scrap and his eye was caught. He's beginning to recover but not keen on the 4x a day eye drops etc. My poor little soldier! Off to the vets again on Monday

From yesterday's very wet walk. The theory was if I was climbing huge hills I'd get soaked anyway. Didn't factor in my glasses steaming up so I blundered across the fields to home

We bought this scratching post seat combo last Christmas, and FINALLY 10 months later, Barry actually uses it.

Just seen a headline which asks "Thatcher was born 100 years ago and her reign feels a lifetime away. Why is her effect on the country still so huge?"
It's because she was a massive bastard. Hope that helps x

Barry found it too much on the windowsill above the radiator. Cooling off on the floor, looking like some kind of carousel ride or maybe if Stubbs painted cats.. 🤷♀️
