In this house, October 30th wasn’t Friday, it was Chai-day. I brought her back from the vet’s to general rejoicing. She’s still not cured, of course. She immediately went to hide in a corner and refused to come out, as injured or sick cats will. (I think they’re hiding from the predators while they’re vulnerable.) The last 3 weeks have been traumatic for her so she might have a psychological…
Poor Chai got an infection in the smaller of her operation sites and has had to go back to the vet for twice daily wound cleaning. At first she looked very poorly and listless, but she’s back to having enough energy to be stroppy again. She can also take a couple of wobbly steps using her back legs although I think it’s really quite painful for her. In short, she’s…

I think I might have mentioned our cat here on the blog once or twice. We start most days with a snuggle and this improves the quality of my life enormously. We almost lost her last night. My husband came back from the village bar and found her crying and unable to use her back legs at all. We thought she’d been hit by a car and had a broken…
It feels a bit odd to be back. For the moment I’ve stopped work on the novel and I’m back the the Spanish 3rd edition of the guide book, checking that I’m handing over the right files for layout. It’s not the most interesting job but it needs doing and I want a break from the novel before I go back to it, so I can look at it with…
