Thank you [personal profile] turlough for the birthday card and present. I haven't opened it yet, but am thrilled to have a surprise to open on the day.

[personal profile] romantical offered ficlets for more joy day and I asked for Clint and/or Bucky meeting MCR in her Warped MCU verse, and I've just read it and it's delightful!". If you enjoy those fandoms, go, read.

My beautiful old lady Freesia had to go to the vets yesterday. She's 18 and hasn't been for many, many years. She was so frightened going and I had to pin her to me to allow the vet to check her over. Turns out she's got an ulcer in her ear, so is on antibiotic drops and tablets for that. She has them twice a day and hasn't been shaking her head as much, so I'm hoping they're starting to kick in. She's also got bad teeth that will need removed via an operation. The vet said it's just an old age thing, but they will need doing, which means more money.

Stupidly we never insured any of our cats. We just didn't think at the time, especially as they're all house cats, and of course now it's too late as even our youngest is ten. The vet we go to is lovely, it's where we take Megan -- mam's cat -- so we have a good relationship with her and she allowed us to split paying the bill, and when Freesia goes in for her teeth we'll apply for the credit scheme as it'll be much more expensive. But, has to be done because we're not about to allow our cats to suffer because we didn't think ahead when we got them.

Anyway, have a photo of my

I had to go get my B12 injection on Tuesday, and the nurse surprised me with blood tests when I arrived. I knew I have to get them yearly via my doctor now, but was only discharged from the hospital in September, so didn't think they'd be due yet. Then, when I was in the vets the doctor called and said something went wrong with one of the vials so I have to go give more blood on Monday.

MiL is still in hospital, and apparently will be in for a fortnight or so. We've visited the last few days but James has told her when he's at work he just hasn't got the energy to visit on a night after doing a full 9 1/2 shift too. She's fine with that and he phones every day, so they'll keep in touch that way until Sunday.

We went to see Alita Battle Angel yesterday and I enjoyed it. Though as we saw it in IMax 3d the action scenes had me dizzy at times.

The day before we'd gone to see the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition that is at Sunderland for a while. I don't know, I was kind of underwhelmed. It was amazing to see paintings that were so old, but tbh, I didn't actually like any of them.

Talked to Corey and we're meeting up either Sunday or Monday for his birthday dinner. Kayleigh and her new girlfriend are going too, and I'll invite my brother, but I suspect he'll just wait for our sibs birthday dinner the next week. On Tuesday Corey's gf is taking him to Mog on the Tyne, and all I can say is, I like her style!

And now I must think of my prompt for no_tags.
