Meanwhile at Dunelm: it’s shiny!

So we got an absolutely plain one. Liquid soap dispenser, that is. The old one broke but good, and threw washing-up liquid copiously.
In medical news, I went in and pointed out to the doctor that this particular medication seems to have raised my blood-sugar, given me cramps, and now given me gout, and the third time is enemy action, and then I Looked At Her and waited. She suggested that perhaps I ought to come off it and keep an eye on my blood-pressure thereafter. Then she prescribed codeine and brufen gel for the present flare-up, and we parted friends.
I am happy for my BP to go up to as much as 130/80 from the 105-10/55-60 that it is at present, so I don’t suppose I’ll need to worry too much.

Not sure I’d like the look on that face if I were of the avian or piscine persuasion…

That is the individual who turned up here last year (I think it was) having been locked up somewhere for six weeks, pitifully thin and desperate for water. You’d never think it to see him now!

It was in the “Achieved so far today” thread, JJ. I shan’t try to link to it, but here’s the text:
"Fanta
"Aug '17
"This evening I was minding my own business at my desk, with front and back doors open to give the gamers a through draught, when a small grey person came in yowling for attention in a very Burmese voice, so I went round to see who it was and shut the front door for a bit rather than let it come in. It was a grey cat which looked very like the one who has been lost for a month, so instead of telling it to be about its business, go home you silly animal, I encouraged it in and then rang the owners, who left a sad “have you seen our cat?” note through the door a month or more ago.
"And it was indeed their missing cat! He is skeletally thin and rather dehydrated (he drank a lot of water once he had decided he forgave us for capturing him) and he should go to a vet for a check-up, I should think, but he is back – six years to the day after he entered their lives as the groom’s present to the bride.
“I am so happy I could burst!”

Now it’s a sort of blue grey out there, & is raining again

The wevver is just doin’ its own thang, Carinthia. Absolutely no notice is being taken of forecasts, hereabouts, as they are completely useless. I rely upon my shepherd’s granddaughter’s nose and nous to plan my days.
Watch out for that cat, Hedgers. Although, a matchstick or two may bamboozle it.
