Hello! Its tulip season around this area. Table Cape has a few out but no fields close to the road like last year. This yellow burst of sunshine is one of Margies, happily growing in a pot at her house!
It turned wet and cold today. I spent a good deal of it getting more things ready for Japan. I purchased the JR Rail passes for my parents and us – so another tick of the list. Sections of our planned travels will work out better with a rail pass. The internet makes things so easy – I can just go and compare the prices of each trip to the overall cost of the pass. Was clear the pass was the most economical way for us to go. We can use the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) for the longer journey’s which will cut travel times down considerably!
Pip seems to be doing ok. (I am tentatively optimistic) He has a new diet and pills to be taken twice daily – and we seem to have gotten the hang of flinging them down his screech with minimum fuss. An achievement we are quite proud of. (Anyone who has had to give a cat a pill before will understand!) We will pop into the vet tomorrow to chat and get the last of the results of tests that were done.
My Russian Black tomatoes are a really nice size now. I was able to pinch three nice laterals off them to start the process of getting some new plants.
I haven’t looked at what the weather is meant to do tomorrow – so its a mystery what I might get up to!
Right now, its time to curl up with a book before turning the light out
Hope your weekend has been fabulous!
Cheers!
I sympathise with the battle to get cats to swallow tablets- dogs are easy in comparison! Have you got a willing volunteer for when you go away? Japan sounds exciting!
Hopefully Pip will be done with the course of tablets by the time we go. We have our young cousin here to cat-sit (house sit) while we are away. Pip seemed comfortable with Beau when we were on the Overland – which will reduce my fretting somewhat!
Yes! Very excited about going back to Japan. Looking forward to showing my parents so much, seeing our friends and eating good food!
