vilakins | Several excellent things and one not so

I had a wonderful day out today, but I'll post about it (and two other lovely surprises) tomorrow--along with pictures--because I'm off to bed now. In the meantime, here's what Vila's mum might have bought him for his birthday. ;-)

Another nice surprise will turn up later. This week's New Scientist offers a DVD of Hubble: 15 years of discovery to the first 40,000 readers who responded, so Greg entered our code number on their website and snagged us one. Yay.

The bad thing is that our bruiser of a cat, Vic, has yet another abscess, possibly two, on his head from fighting, so I have to take him to the vet tomorrow. [sigh] He's an expensive cat for an ex-stray.
