Tessa update
I took Tessa back to the animal eye surgeon for her final check-up today and he said she's healed up really well. I was a bit worried about the dark bits on the graft, but apparently the conjunctival matter (the bit of her eye) he used to make it never usually sees the sun--and it has freckles! This, he said, is a good thing as it makes the graft less obvious. I have to say, I hardly notice it now unless she's up close (and she does that: looks soulfully into my eyes from short range).
Not so good is the crash followed by rattling I heard when I was upstairs after I brought her back home. I suspect something's come loose in the current gale, though I couldn't see it in a walk stagger around the house. [rolls eyes] Heh. One of the guys at work stepped outside with his cup of tea to get some fresh air (the painters are in) and the wind blew half the contents out of it. Not, luckily, in his direction. :-P

According to this, it looks like it will be wet when I arrive.

That's wonderful

Pipin does that occasionally. If it was a dog doing it would be a challenge to fight and he does stop when I smile at him, half close my eyes, I must try and find out why they do it.
That is Simone gale you've got there, sounds more like a tropical storm than a 'normal' storm. I hope it wasn't any thing expensive that caused the crash at home.

Closing your eyes at them I've heard called a cat-kiss. I think it says "I trust you".

The weather here has been fairly dreadful, too. Equinoctial, I call it, although it's getting a bit past time for that! No blown-away beverages, though.

I am totally fed up with the weather. I am sick of winter clothes and woolly hats and sitting in damp clothes. I swear, if Greg ever sells his company, I'm demanding a move to Australia.

Skiffle sometimes climbs up my lap and stares into my face from close range. Usually followed by affectionately wiping her wet nose on my face. Which is made worse by the fact that I've become allergic to her saliva, so when she rubs her nose on me, I go red and itch. Oddly, I'm not allergic to Diesel, which is nice, as she likes to groom my hands sometimes.
It's sunny, and mild here, for mid-October. Diesel went out a little while ago when I went to fetch the post. Must remember to go and let her in again later.

I'm sometimes allergic to plants they've been in, but not to them--which is good considering how much I cuddle them. Claudia licks me occasionally but apparently I don't taste as good as Greg whose neck and hair she'll attempt to wash. Claudia's especially is heart-melting head buts.

We should be having gales here but instead it is grey and damp and the air is so still all the autumn leaves just fall straight down.

I can't remember the last still day. :-P

The billing guy said he's sorting it out today. I hope he does. I may still try to find somewhere else before January's payment (if they accept that I made it) runs out in January.

Have you worked out what the noise was? I hope there's nothing too badly damaged....
