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

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 😊

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

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.. 🤷♀️

This handrail always makes me chuckle, unless it's supposed to be a handrail for toddlers, it is set at the height of my knee. Were the Victorians really short? Has the wall subsided? Keeps me entertained 😄

Aww, my husband ordered this for me. He may scoff at my Suede devotion but knows the way to my heart ❤️

This always reminds me of one of my walking group members from work. He would've climbed the stile because he was a purist 😆

Got out for a walk, 5 mile circular from home. Some steep sections but worth it to do the walk along the river. Hope it zaps the last stubborn half a pound off a 2 stone weight loss 😅

🌱It's been a busy and hot week so minimal gardening accomplished here. I've run out of rain water apart from enough to top up the pond and water the acers.
Off for a walk in a min, not had chance for that either.

🌱Sainsbury's roses, well that's the supermarket they came from! Lovely view over the road but one of those green belt areas at threat of being built on. The current government are more tory than the tories

Selected Yello for the drive to Mum's. Quite nostalgic, even more so with the price in Deutsche Marks! From an early visit to my sister's in Berlin.
