As predicted there was no room for exercise at all. In fact we were running late for everything!
I dropped LB off to pick up his car just before 3.30pm. He was mend to come straight home as we had to be at the vets at 4.15pm. By 4.10 he was still not home. Turns out theat he has an ABS fault but the garages diagnostic system can't identify where the problem is :~O. At least he decided not to go to shropshire today. Its too far to go with a car thats no 100% reliable.
He had phoned the vets beforehand and as we missed our appointment at 3.45pm, they told us to come in when we were ready. Phil our regular vet was swamped, so we had to see hie sidekick. Never again! Holly needed a bloodtest and they wanted to take her in the back to do it there. We said we wanted to be there, and rightly so. I don't know where this vet learned or better say not learned to take blood. She shaved her neck and after stabbing her 3 times she still had none. Then she shaved her leg and still needed 2 attemps. Poor Holly. Luckily I had some off her favourite snacks in my pocket and the torture was soon forgotten. Ash was there the whole time too. A chance to weigh her(9.10kg now) and just get used to the whole process.
Got home at 6pm and LB went straight down to feed the pheasants. Glad I decided to stay and let Ash have a rest. Keith our builder came round (as arranged previously but totally forgotten). He took some measurements. So hopefully we get the roof of the extension pitched off and new smaller windows put in upstairs before it gets too cold.
While LB was away, I prepped todays lunch: Red cabbage, potato dumplings and pigeon breast with bacon and mushrooms. YUM.
We had just about time to have a sandwich before it was time to go to the pub. Back by 10pm, but by the time I switched the light of it was well past 11pm. Guess who is tired today.
Busy times, but never boring :)
