I got a postcard from [personal profile] misbegotten today, thank you so much. Getting fun mail is always fantastic ♥

We also got a letter saying the stairlift person would be coming out to do the annual service on the 14th between 8:30 and 1. The post arrived at 9:30 so way to go in terms of getting notice. We could have easily gone out without knowing someone was coming.

Bodhi is home, which is fantastic. She's on oral meds and a cream now and doing really well. Kayleigh was supposed to be back at work as she only got two weeks paternity leave plus some owed holidays, but they've given her some unpaid compassionate leave until the weekend, so they're all holing up together and catching up on rest and sleep.

Also, after seeing the comments on Kayleigh's FB post I realised Bodhi is going to spend her life having her name spelt incorrectly. Everyone seems to know it starts with a B and ends with an I, but the middle three letters keep getting mixed up. I have to admit, I have to take a moment to think if it's Bodhi or Bohdi even now.

Corey had his second Covid jab on Sunday, which is a relief. No side effects either apart from a sore arm.

Milo got to star on Simply Cat's social media again when they asked if they could share this post to signpost the steps to other mobility-impaired cats on their books. Of course, I said yes. I have to go pick up some special food and probiotics for him later as he still has a touch of the runs. Frustratingly it could be because we changed his food. I kept reading that grain-free was the way to go, so we bought some food that not only was more expensive than his usual stuff, but was also apparently poison as he really didn't like it. And it may have upset his stomach too. So, back to the Whiskas, he goes.

At the weekend we went for a walk at Gibside, the local National Trust property with extensive grounds. James normally hires a trapper there -- a robust mobility scooter type of thing, but one was broken down and the other already hired so we didn't do the usual long walk, but did walk to the walled gardens and had a drink at the outdoor cafe with the autumn leaves starting to drop around us.

They've opened a second-hand bookshop there since the last time I've been, and I may have bought two Christmas books. Also a bag of potatoes from the surplus stall and a huge cooking apple which will be put in a crumble along with the blackberries James keeps picking.

Last eps of the season of 911 and 911 Lonestar to watch tonight. I'll miss my shows of fabulous crack.

A crumble sounds really delicious! So glad that Bodhi is back home where she belongs. I had no idea there was a "missbegotten" on DW; I'm fascinated now. I'm so used to being the only variation of my name...

That's uncool about the late notice!

I'm glad Bodhi is home and doing well.

Poor Milo. I hope he feels better soon.

Too bad you couldn't go for the longer walk you normally do, but it sounds like a nice time despite that.

Oooh, you'll be all caught up now!!!

I've been having to wash Midnight's little bed several times since we got Grant because he will not lay in it after Grant has slobbered all over it (and he wants to chew on EVERYTHING still). So fussy. *g*

I was so irritated with the LS ending!!!

The writers are like, no, Buck and Eddie are not a thing, have this other pairing on this other show, and then they do things like have Eddie make Buck Christopher's guardian if anything happens to him and have Carla say that Eddie should make sure he's following his own heart and not Christopher's. I mean, the fic basically writes itself. *g*

Well, glad you didn't miss them.

And also happy that Bodhi is home with the moms. I hope they have a restful weekend.

Feel better, Milo! ANd keep moving! You're doing great!

Ooohhh, bookstores, particularly used bookstores, are the best.

That's wonderful news that Bodhi is doing better! And also good of Kayleigh's work to give her a little more time to recover herself.

And also excellent news about Corey's shot!

Milo looks like a very proud sovereign up on his dais in that shot. I can see why they wanted to advertise with his photo. Though that's very disappointing about the food. I hope the return to his previous diet makes life easier on him and on you.

That's ridiculously late to get notice!

Good to hear Bodhi is home again and doing well! I don't find her name difficult to spell at all, but I guess most people haven't studied world religions at university :-)

That's great news about Corey!

Milo's become such a social media star. I hope his tummy will settle down soon!

Your visit to Gibside sounds wonderful. I love walled gardens.

Second-hand bookshops are dangerous places!
