Thursday.

Whoops I missed a day of blogging.  Too tired trying to get the lungs working.  But I went for a walk yesterday and today on the Prom.


The sea was fairly calm yesterday.  A small boat.


In the evening we had a visit from a juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Today was very windy .



Line fishing from the shore.



The rocks below the Prom are glittery, coloured and have lichen.


A new notice board has appeared.  At 4 feet 10 I struggled to read everything.  Basically it is a much needed warning of the dangers of the sea.  How to recognise and avoid rip tides.

Back home.

The Barley field at our rear is about ready to be cut.


My new filing cabinet.  From Hobbycraft.  The drawers are for crafting materials, but fit A4 paper and files which is what I wanted it for.  Currently strewed on window sill, top of printer on the desk in a few days they will all be neatly filed away!  Ha ha.


Sith Cat on the bed.  He has been for his check up at the vets today.  No weight loss and after a blood test all is well for a cat of his age.  His liver function has improved so keep giving him the pills.  One he has mashed up.  The other I administer and he won the battle this morning.  Three goes and he spat it out three times.  I shall win tomorrow.  But its not easy when you cannot breathe.  The DP holds him in a towel and I open his mouth and throw the pill in.  Then we both wait for him to swallow it.  Which he usually does, but not today.

Sunset.


Not that dramatic!  We could all do better.

There is a "pill popper" that you can get for cats. It helps a lot, cats are so tricky to give pills to. (I currently own my approximately 20th cat) Copy and paste the link if it wont click and go there. This is Amazon USA.

How old is your cat? Ours turned 20 this year.

God bless.

Cats + pills = scratches!

Have fun with the filing

Tom has just had another pulmonary check to see how much lung has disappeared, we tell them not to tell us the result as what you don't know doesn't hurt you. Can't do anything about it so we'd rather not know.
There is a little joke around here about drawers, I love them, any size or shape. Tom makes fun of me but I'd love a set like that and soon fill them with 'stuff', lol

Good to hear that he is feeling better. Have you tried stroking him on the underside of his neck and blowing on his nose at the same times. That often works for our cats, but, of course, sometimes doesn't.
