More Books!

mooched books to date, including the four that arrived this morning. The Omai and Dampier books each cost me a ten-point bonus (= 10 books from own country, 3.3 books from overseas) but they're worth it!

Short Stories Online, Day 37

Continuing this week's feline theme (somewhere there must be a story about vet bills; or maybe I should write it myself) here's a spot of classic magic realism:

Vet news

Sam's bloodtest results are back (am glad that vet is quicker than GP, considering how much this cost me!) and his kidney functions are back down to normal, his thyroid seems to be functioning OK (though there's an elevated liver enzyme that might indicate nascent thyroid issue) and in general All Is Well.

Sam was very interested in the phone while I was talking to the vet. He tried to headbutt it.
