Change of Plans..

Today was going to be a stay in day, for one reason that it was cold and frosty and for another we had bits and pieces to do.
i wanted to get the bedding ironed out of the way, and vin had stuff to do.
Then little Rusty changed thaat. Vin took the bin round to the front as he usually does on a Tuesday, green bin this week! and little rusty normally follows him round. today he noticed that she wasn't following hom, and was trying to have a wee a couple of times. he came back in quite quickly because it was cold and there was no sign of the errant cat, so he went looking for her. We tend to get over worried about her since she was the one who went missing about six years ago now, and that was n a Tuesday! He spotted her on the big patch of ground at the back of the house that everyone calls "The Plot" still trying to have a wee. So, alarm bells rang, and we kept an eye on her. definitely something wrong, she was running in and out of the house like a yoyo, so he said we'd better call the Vet. We got an appointment for 3.10 this afternoon, so we had our lunch then it was off to Ormskirk.Got there a bit early but soon got seen. very nice vet..Vin thinks his name is Steve, and he had a really good look at her and wxamined her all over..took her temperature which wasn't raised and decided it was Cystitis. Poor little thing..it's a women thing I said in the car on the way home. He suspected it anyway because he had looked on the Internet. So he gave her two injections of anti inflammatory drugs and said she should start to be better within an hour or so.
Got her home, and she actually does seem to have settled down somewhat. She'll probably sleep all afternoon now.Good job we took her, she is well worth the £32 it cost..she is such a sweetheart that you don't want them being in trouble.
terrible news yesterday on the news, that peacocks who own Bon Marche are going into receivership.!! Can't believe that Bon Marche are in peril.. i love that shop. Where will I get my gear if they close down? Report in the Daily Mail today though suggests that Bon Marche are close to finding a buyer. God, I hope so. Ormskirk won't be worth going to if there isn't a Bon Marche...and Vin said, "Where will I park you if that shop closes" Big fingers crossed that it doesn't.
Today we are having:
Sausage rolls Linda McCartney
Something tomatoey
Sliced and sauteed potatoes
