Princess Fluffykins has not been well. There were some unfortunate incidents of vomiting and, er, other substances, so off to the vet she went - and behaved very well in the face of such indignities as having her temperature taken. She did object to the anti-vomiting injection she received, which the vet had warned us would sting so we were holding her firmly. Poor pussy. However, she refused to eat either the special food or the probiotic goo expensively supplied, and Sable sneered at the special food, too, so the rest of it has gone outside to see if there are any interested hedgehogs.

Fluffy does seem much more with-it today, however, which is a great relief. Both cats seem to be pickier about what they will condescend to eat, which I think is probably a good sign - they now trust that they will be fed again, and don't need to gobble everything that is presented to them.

I have been spending afternoons at the church café in the hopes of selling tickets for our concert on Saturday. Slightly to my surprise, there was a brief but pleasing piece about us on Radio Norfolk last week - I had written to them, but whether it was my email or something else that impelled them to put it on air I do not know. However, I had a nice chat to a BBC chappie at The Forum this afternoon and he expressed an interest in having us involved in a Christmas do, so. Well!

Queck!

Also, Lance appears to be anticipating Babies, though it is not altogether clear whethere these babies are actually cooking or just intended. <3

Queck!

[dine]

ok, I just wasted spent a very long time (interrupted by work) enjoying every single entry on the duck thread. now *that's* real entertainment!!

using the only duck-related icon in my collection

Re: Queck!

[pensnest]

Queck is my new favourite word. Very classy ducks.

Alas that I have not imported my Pecker icon to DW.

Oh no, poor princess! I hope her digestive system will settle down soon. And that's so cool that you were promoted on the radio!

[pensnest]

She does seem to be a lot better, though Sable ate 120% of her usual breakfast today...

I'm glad the kitty seems to be feeling better <3

[pensnest]

Thank you - it is such a relief!

[turps]

Poor Princess. I'm glad she's feeling better.

Mam had to buy special food for her cat once. I've never smelt anything so bad. Her cat wouldn't touch, none of mine would touch it, or any of Kayleigh's. New cans all the time, btw. Hopefully the hedgehogs enjoy your leftovers.

[pensnest]

It does seem a bit daft to create something for poorly cats which they will not eat. Honestly!

[turlough]

Poor Princess, the indignities she had to suffer! But yes, having them get more picky about what they will eat is probably a good thing.

That thread is SO MUCH FUN! Who knew museums could be so frivolous.

[pensnest]

I seem to remember a previous museum Twitter thread which was also awesome. Some of the museums' social media folk are Very Good!

The cats are still extremely keen to acquire cheese.

[wenchpixie]

Poor wee soul, glad to hear she's apparently on the mend now <3


Oh how lovely! Wishing you all the ticket sales!

[pensnest]

And that reminds me, I must check the email account that is on the business card I gave the BBC chap! :-)

Fluffy is much more her usual self today.

[sperrywink]

Oh no! Good health and luck to princess fluffykins!

Go you for your singing promotion!

[pensnest]

Fluffy has been playing vigorously with the feathers-onna-stick this afternoon - she can manage awesome leaps! - and appears to be her normal self. \o/

[brandywine28]

Oh, no -- not the princess! Picky's okay as long as she's getting *something* down, expensive health goo or not.

If I wrote Lance a very rational, polite letter explaining that I'm not emotionally ready for him to have kids right now, do you think that'd make a difference? Probably not, right?

[pensnest]

Trouble with writing to Lance is, by the time it gets to him, gestation is probably *over*! Tho' I suspect is natural sappiness is on high alert at the possibility of babies, and mere rationality isn't going to have much impact.
