Stellar looks how I feel...she has a sore foot, can't work out what is wrong with it, she is only lame sometimes but has cried out in pain and stood holding it up in a very feeble manner...she is very happy going out walking...I will keep an eye on it and will take her to the vet next week if she is still being a wee gimp....
Sorry, have been missing in action the last few days and haven't kept up too well with this weeks challenge.
It has been a hectically busy week at work, managing a second service on top of what I already do keeps my days busy which I like. I am actually loving work at the moment and will be sad to give up the second service, just when I am getting to know them all.
Got up early this morning to take delivery of some firewood, the damn person dropping it off was almost an hour late which made me so bloody mad as we had got up early especially. I hate it when people say they are going to so something or be somewhere and let you down...no apologies. He was lucky I didn't answer the door when he showed up cause I wasn't in the mood to be polite.
So we, stacked the firewood and have a fearsome heap of it now. The fire is burning hot tonight!!
We then went into town as we are on the hunt for a new car...car sharks at the car yards were circling for fresh bait today...some were good, some pushy and some hopeless.You would think that the weekend would be the most popular time of the week for buying cars so would assume the people selling them would have the knowledge to say what kind of finance they can offer or how to negotiate a deal...if we were in the market to buy today, then one car yard would miss out cause why should we have to wait for some finance guy to ring us on Monday?? Stupid.
Anyway, we think we are choosing between a later model Mazda Demio, Mitsubishi Colt or Honda Fit...all have a back seat big enough for Stellar and room in a small boot for groceries and a couple of suitcases.
This is the Demio...the ones were are looking at are either bright dark red or darker blue than this one...
This the the Colt..the one we like is a very pretty pale metallic blue...the one we really like is darker cornflowers blue but is a wee bit expensive for us...shame...
And the Honda Fit...comes in boring silvers...nice wee car...
We then went to get a few groceries and dropped in on Nana duty to see R's Nana who has had her knee replaced. She wanted some new slippers so it was back to The Warehouse then back to the hospital. I took Stellsy for a walk, did some washing, tidied up a bit and made a big dish of macaroni cheese for tea as Chocolate Britches and her boyfriend are coming for tea and to watch the rugby. On top of this busy day, there has been issues with one the the people in one of the services I manage and they are frontpage news in all the newspapers so not sure what that will mean next week...ahhhh...roll on America trip...not long now (3 weeks??)!!
These are my darling Stellars feet...sadly tomorrow I have to drop her in to the vet at 8am so she can be sedated and have her dew claw (hmmmm..I wonder if that is how you spell it??) cut off as she injured it a week or so ago and it hasn't come right. It took the vet 30 seconds to take a look and say bring her back tomorrow to get it cut off. It will grow back but is broken at the base and will not come right on it's own. I hate her having to be sedated or go to sleep but I am sure she will be ok...dear wee Stellsy...I love her so much.
