What a busy week at Latimers but, alas, one without any (substantial) rain. We could have done with it too rather than M and S having to water their gardens but at least when they do that it also gives them the chance to speak with/talk to the plants.
Tink was off to the vet again yesterday (lucky her - she must have been ecstatic to find out there was a road crew working on the big roundabout - the first in quite a while - installing the decals, paintwork, and ''stuff" for the bicycle lanes.). The news from the vet wasn't brilliant - her Insulin dosage has been increased to 2 - and even though it's an increase, we are grateful that there are no halves involved for the coming week - which means that she will be back there next Thursday - unless we bite the bullet and see about doing the glucose test at home ourselves. S and I had a few goes - with only very moderate success - in the early days of Em's Diabetes diagnosis but in the end we decided it was for stressful for all of us so it didn't last. We'll need to think about this some more.
Huzzar; Huzzar - which is a little like it sounded when Mr Burns from The Simpsons was being wildly enthusiastic - for the cucumber now in bloom in the garden; and for the lettuce and Bok Choy S planted today. Let's see if I have this right: New Moon means you plant above ground vegetables ... it may finally be starting to sink in! And, speaking of the moon, it is fairly stunning tonight - just a crescent but very clear. I had been out taking a photograph of a kookaburra/kingfisher as night was falling when I noticed it. And, of course, I did try to get a photo but it is just too far away. But at least the kookaburras started laughing so that may mean we are in for some rain.
