if they asked me i could write a book
Poor Sable. We had to take her back to the Vet again last Saturday for the final check-up. She knew Something Was Up. She was *extremely* wary of us all morning! At one-thirty, having had her snuggled as usual while we ate lunch, she disappeared about three minutes before we decided it was time to capture her.
After some baffled pursuit, we were sure she went into the library. But... no cat to be seen. Not in her armchair, not in her usual spot on top of the shelf, not in any of the spaces between the bookshelves. It was only when Beast was on the point of searching elsewhere that I spotted an unusually furry book on the bottom shelf....
Well, her tooth is now fine. I think she forgave us for this visit, as it was brief, and nobody stuck any needles in her.

I have been trying to follow the ZOE advice to eat at least thirty different plants in a week, and so far it has worked well. It encourages me to be a bit more experimental - no longer is breakfast regularly mini shredded wheats with ginger, nuts and possibly sultanas. Now I break out the blackberries or raspberries or mixed berries from the freezer, or have blueberries and pomegranite seeds with kefir, or porridge with mixed seeds and cinnamon. And I've tried roasting fennel (very nice), aubergine parmigiano (not bad) and tomorrow there will be kalettes, stir fried, which should be interesting at the very least. There's not a lot of plant material in a bacon sandwich, of course.
Does anyone else do this? Any recommendations for unusual plants to eat?

Have you tried swedes? They're definitely not trendy or new in any way, very old fashioned and uncool in fact! But I like them and always tend to have some in the fridge, and so I fed some (uncooked, cut into sticks) to my new year's guest froggies, who had never tried them before (or had last had them over 20 years ago) and it was a surprise hit!

By the way - you're a knitter. Would you be interested in coming over for this: https://eastangliayarnfestival.com/ ? Turlough and Chalcopyrite are likely to be here for it!
