A very busy party weekend with three parties – two on Saturday and one today. On top of this Mummy had a Saturday afternoon and evening out in Leeds with the girls AND had 40 cupcakes to make for Sunday’s party.
The boys have actually NOT had time for the XBOX at all this weekend 🙂
We have at least one party next weekend as well 🙂
Hopefully we can get some family time in the bag next weekend.
School parents evening tomorrow….
It took now more than 24 hours for Daddy to get frightened of the face that he uncovered a coupe of weeks back 🙁
Therefore the beard growth has been allowed to continue…. Long live the beard…. Sorry Olly 🙁
Poor Pepsi has had a growth / lump on his back between his shoulders for a few months now and at his last check up we asked about it and whether it would need attention. The vet asked if it was troubling him – subsequently suggested that it is probably best to leave it alone given his age and the fact that it wasn’t giving him any agro.
Well, last weekend we walked into the kitchen to find a reasonable amount of blood on the floor – we hurried around trying to find where it had all come from – it seemed that the dopey sod had scratched it and consequently it bled.
It hasn’t got any better as the week has progressed so we took him in to have his claws clipped and the lump checked. The vet shaved the area to find that it (the lump) has grown quite a bit since it was last checked and sadly it is weeping puss – hence it stinks – definitely a significant source of smell from the old lad 🙁
Anyway, we debated the pros and cons and realised that the best course of action was to take him in and have it removed – he is only going to keep scratting at it and causing it to bleed etc – plus there’s the awful smell 🙂
So, he is booked in for Monday – let’s hope it all goes to plan and he comes out feeling sleepy but less smelly….
Simon ordered a Chris King Inset 3 headset for his mountain bike this week and paid for it over the telephone tonight. It a has been ordered from the old LBS (local bike shop) when we used to live in Los Gatos, CA. By buying from the LBS,cSimon has saved around £40 so he is sticking with this as his justification…
He will collect it enroute from the the airport to Rich and Clare’s place 🙂
Happy days – just needs to collect it and arrange for it to be fitted to Barbara when we get back to Blighty…
Finally,we have got a secured spare wheel back on Bruce. Simon located a decent eBay purchase from Stockport as the wheel replacement, Sam B sorted the new winch and Simon also secured an eBay purchase for additional security to wrap around the spare to prevent opportunists from being able to quickly snip the wheel off like last time…
So the car is now all set for the trip to Halifax to drop Pepsi off at Grannies and then the long trip down to Heathrow in the afternoon in readiness for Vicky and the boys heading over to California…
