Following a couple of stomach issues for Pepsi – being sick just before his dinner in the evening – we think his stomach was empty and hence it caused sickness.

SO – we decided to move them both onto three meals a day instead of two – initially they both clearly thought they had WON – i.e. “ha, we are getting fed three times a day now – been telling you for 10 years to feed us more often”.  Soon it dawned on them that while they are getting fed three times, the portions are smaller – hence similar (so perhaps a little more) quantity but spread out better over the day….

They are back to not being happy again – Max seems to be forever trying it on to get fed again 🙂

They’ll get used to it.

Pepsi was at the Vet on Friday last week for a check-up and Margaret was delighted with his progress.  We agreed that he seems to have more lives than the average cat 🙂

Mummy has picked up a nasty cold towards the back end of last week, that has culminated in a nasty bug over the weekend.  Olly woke up with red cheeks etc, suggesting that he was going to have yet another episode of his usual temperature etc, so we kept him away from school.  It actually didn’t turn into anything so he could probably have been OK to have been at school today.

The rain has arrived from the South (has battered the south of the country over the last few days) and there are presently something north of 300 flood warnings on nationwide.  Sadly, once again, the flood defences in many parts of the country are again being tested t the max 🙁   We should be A.OK here in Ossett, but there is definitely flooding in many roads where the road water guttering is unable to cope with the large quantity of water that is being forced on it.  The wind thankfully isn’t TOO strong at the moment although it is definitely significantly colder at the moment than it was just 5 days ago…

So, Aston Martin ownership is now over – Tina has moved on to her next keeper who will hopefully look after her as we have done.

Sam (guy we bought her from last year) ended up selling her on our behalf given he has background and a good name in the AM used car industry.

She was an extravagance that I am disappointed we didn’t make more use of – we covered just 1,200 miles in the 12 months of ownership although I am pleased to have a bit of garage space back.

We are awaiting the cash coming in from the sale and then the boys (waited very patiently) are to be treated to a small trip to Toys R Us possibly at the weekend.

Looking forward to another milestone in the coming years where we will be able to get back onto the marque that is Aston Martin and next time, we’ll make more use of the journey 🙂
