One of our cats did a runner outside the vets earlier having managed to bash the pet carrier door open somehow. Bounced between a couple of gardens before we lost track.

Went back a couple of hours later to call, but no sign. Vets and neighbours will keep an eye out, but not holding out much hope 🙁

She's chipped, but skittish, so unlikely to let a stranger grab her.

Brother has picked up everyone else, so on me tod now waiting 45 minutes for the tow truck.

Let's hope my old man bladder holds out…

Also, had a cheeky wine, so will offset with a little orange juice (I'm not a *total* animal).

Not posted anything recently.

In truth, not a huge amount has happened, except: my Mum died, which has left me … feeling … and then our fridge died (far less upsetting, but significantly more annoying, for more than one reason).

And #1 cat Amy seems unlikely to see in Christmas.

Been a bit shit, actually.

But you press on, nonetheless.

A weekend of relatively urgent DIY impending.

It was a Carlsberg, which is relatively light and innocuous. Not my preferred tipple, which at the moment is Desperados, but that's a little strong when I know I still have stuff to do. And work in the morning.
