Darling Muffy


Muffy looks fine in this photo (if you disregard the inexplicable yellow tinge) - you can't see how thin she is. Thankfully, the medication she's on is giving her an appetite and she's gaining weight. I forgot to mention the other day that she has her third ear infection in recent times, so needs an application of ear ointment twice a day. Poor darling, she looks at me suspiciously whenever she wants to come in, wondering if Mummy is going to stuff a tablet down her throat or squirt some horrible liquid into her ear!

The vet says her three falls into the pool are likely responsible for the recurrent infections. I still can't get over a cat actually falling into a pool once, let alone three times.

Lina, as usual you say the nicest things. The Thermomix is being used every day. Yesterday I made yogurt and a mushroom risotto. This isn't my favourite meal, so after two helpings I gave it to Philip and Mana, who both loved it, and Philip has taken the last bit for lunch at work.

Oh, oh - interruptions have started. Mana's going to zumba, so I'll mind the kids as it's school holidays. Maths lesson for Emma and reading for Hugo. Then Emma wanted me to play a game she made up and so did Hugo.


Meanwhile Poppy took herself outside - she's supposed to be an inside cat - so we all went out and played with her, then she came in quite happily, bringing her ragamuffin tail with her:



Compare this fluffy tail with Muffy's thin one!

It's almost 10:30 and I haven't started answering emails, my planned job for today. I still haven't washed up, made the bed or got dressed. I'll devote what's left of the day to emails then go to aqua zumba at 7.

It's now midday and I haven't answered a single email as I played another game with the kids and gave them a snack before their mother got home. Now I've completely lost interest and just want to go back to bed.
