Blossom time

A quick blog from the hairdressers where I am relaxing with a coffee while the grey bits at the sides of my hair are being painted. I have had a busy and stressful week which I tackled head on; I feel ok in myself and thank goodness it's the weekend. 

Meanwhile spring has definitely sprung; the weather has been mixed since the weekend but the blossom is out on the cherry tree and the temperature is reasonable. Jack is getting on really well; he is now finished with his antibiotics and is permanently on fortekor and diuretics for his kidneys and heart. The important thing is that he seems very happy and has been enjoying going into his garden. He continues to miaow very loudly if any of us are not in direct line of sight. This may be partly to do with his deafness because he can't hear where we are, and partly because I suspect that he is getting a wee bit confused in his old age. We don't have to go back to the vet for a month so I hope that his good quality of life continues.

David's last day of school was yesterday (apart from his actual exam days of course) and the 6th years got up to some high jinks! However it was all good natured and no serious damage was done (unlike last year when things got out of hand and the 6th years had to be shown the door by 10.30 a.m.) This year the head teacher had wisely provided a pizza party at lunch time so that they could celebrate the end of their schooldays in a fun but safe way!

Last night I was at book club. I know I always say this but - what nice friends I have!
