Thank you all for your Spuddog wishes. He is very much on the mend, and is now hobbling rather than outright limping like a drama school reject, can leap up and down from the furniture like a pro, and is refusing to sleep anywhere other than his proper, designated nighttime basket now (poorly dogs get special living room sleeping privileges, as long as it isn’t a stomach upset). He is also very miffed that DH has once again gone out without him and has told me about it at length.
I have taken the car to the garage to have the aircon regassed. Turns out there was no gas in the system whatsoever, but also no leaks to be found, so who knows what all that was about. Other than that the garage think it looks good - I’ve been going there for over 10 years and they’ve always seen us right, so I trust their judgement.
DS went to a party at the weekend and found it hugely exciting - he enjoyed it very much but also had a proper stonking meltdown - 3 of them, actually. So I was exhausted by the time we got home and ready for a rest! Fortunately the other mums all know about his needs so there weren’t too many cats bum mouths, and of course they’re all so little and have missed out on so many parties. One of the other mums suggested we should all get together and have a picnic and maybe a cake at the end of term, as so many of them have missed out on proper birthday parties this year.
I have put the fly netting back on the windows and ordered a bigger paddling pool, so we are probably due a good storm now 😂
