This is the same view as the other day, but with the camera raised a bit to show the gum trees that were hidden before.
I like that expression, Winifred, 'brain engaged'. That's it exactly! It definitely takes longer and longer these days for my brain to engage when I attempt to do anything. Whenever I leave this blog too long between entries I have great difficulty remembering how to do it. Getting the photos here is always tricky.
Don't think I've mentioned it's been like a hospital upstairs over recent weeks. First Hugo had pneumonia, then his mum got sick, then Emma got pneumonia, followed by her dad getting sick. And downstairs Muffy has been losing weight and barely eating. I felt it was because the special diet food she's been on for about five years for a urinary problem was just too awful, and I was afraid to give her anything else in case it killed her. So I took her to the vet and, a few hundred dollars later, have learnt she's got mild kidney disease and probably cystitis, which required antibiotics that made her vomit. I picked up a different type of antibiotics this morning - no refund on the first packet that cost me $45, even though she'd only taken two out of 40. The vet has also given her - sold me - tablets to stimulate her appetite, after telling me I could buy her a barbecued chicken and some tins of tuna in spring water till she works out whether to put her on a special kidney diet. Naturally Muffy wolfed down the chicken and tuna - she's not stupid - before even having the appetite stimulus.
It seems she's just sick and tired of her boring dried food and is yearning for a decent diet. But since the vet sells the special food, am I going to be told the truth?
In spite of all my activity at the pool I still get exhausted and am going to my GP on Tuesday to get results of my latest blood test to see if that shows why. Was too tired to have a coffee with Lina this afternoon, which really annoys me. I spend most of my life sleeping, like a cat.
