Early shift for cats new routine.. girlie the vet seems to think that if we follow (this. no dry food and v. low carb wet food (he is toothless so wet food is what he likes anyway luckily) and timed feeding ) there's a chance we could reverse the diabetes.. So I am willing to give it a go especially as we dont have pet insurance for him !. It must have been so much more difficult with two cats though.
Maybe he might getting it though.. he wasn't battering the door down this morning, in fact i had to go up the garden at 6.30 this morning to find him and call him in. I do hope this approach works .. its going to get expensive otherwise and ill either have to ask the pet sitter to do injections or its cat boarding for when we go away ( and hes going to hate that having never been in kennels in his life).
No rain here but thunder and lightening in the night ..
cag i was just thinking there typing the word garden.. I bet you are so happy to have one now ..I bet your DCs love it!.. if you dont have any shade , then I do recommend getting a gazebo(and get a side curtain) not to expensive in B&Q etc . When my Ds was small in the summer holidays it became almost an extra room and we setit up especially for playing and eating .. ( we even slept out there once! )
Talking of spices above , Ive frugally raided the freezer .. we will be having fish curry this evening ( thanks Rick Stein)
A few years ago i invested in spice jars that fitted in one of my kitchen drawers ( 3in tall jars with flat lids) and now i buymost herbs and spices loose in Easyweigh.. Its so much cheaper ( after the initial lay out for jars) and having them all labelled on the top of lids ( and arranged alphabetically .. Nerdy but saves rummaging
) , This means no more swearing into kitchen cupboards and chucking stuff around as i try and find the one I want ..
It is important to keep spices somewhere dark to preserve their flavour.. Spice racks are really not such a good idea because of this , unless you use the contents all the time .
