I actually managed to watch Doctor Who in real time last night, no big spoilers, but I enjoyed the ep, and am sad the series is already over.

Yesterday, my Pixel Buds Pro arrived. I didn't think they actually would, as they were a freebie with my phone, and you had to jump through a few hoops to get them. Only able to claim in a specific time period, send proof of purchase, phone device info etc, all understandable wants, but it's been so long I was starting to think they would never arrive, but yesterday they did. Now I'll be able to have music when I'm out walking.

Kayleigh, Lucy, and Bodhi jetted off to the Canaries on Friday and are having a great time, with a few two-year-old tantrums thrown in. I had an unexpected all day Bodhisitting day on Thursday, then she was dropped off at my house for a couple of hours Friday morning while the mams got last minute stuff and packed the car with the cases. Then we all went out for a late breakfast before they headed for the airport.

Cat sitting is going well so far, and I'm getting into the routine of feed, clean, meds, and attention. Which is important as even Megan came to see me last night, and usually she doesn't do that. Also, giving thyroid meds via the ear is so much easier than pills. I wish Tinker had been offered that back in the day.

The weather has turned very warm, and it's supposed to be the hottest day so far tomorrow, which is a busy day for me with class at 11, then Lymph appointment at 2, then B12 injection at five, plus two cat visits. But, it's supposed to be nice for most of this next week, so we'll take advantage of James' annual leave and get out on some day trips from Tuesday onwards.

I also intend to take a sundress to change into after class, because the gym/walk in centre has a lovely café attached to it, and it seems pointless to come home to eat when I can use the changing rooms, grab a quick lunch and then head off to the next appointment. Especially so as Rosie's class always overruns a little.

Glad cat sitting is going well, but man, your schedule has filled up a lot with all the Bodhi sitting and cat sitting and appointments! Good luck getting everything done and enjoy James' annual leave with him!

Tell me about it! I was so glad the cat sitting happened when James was off on annual leave as otherwise, I'd have to add walk/bus journeys into the mix too.

I was supposed to be having Bodhi all this weekend, but Lucy has managed to change shifts. I enjoy looking after her, but two full days would have been a lot.

That sounds like a hectic few days!

It was a very hectic few days, but over now.

Holy moly, it sounds like you've been busy! I'm all for the idea of having lunch at the cafe since you've got another appointment anyway. *g* I hope you manage(d) to stay cool!

That part worked out perfectly. Shame I was a hot mess when I was in there *g*

I wish I had your energy. I can't seem to get anything done.

I hope Kayleigh, Lucy, and Bodhi are enjoying their vacation!

I don't know where I got the energy from that day, it felt like so many things happened together.

I hope Kayleigh, Lucy, and Bodhi are enjoying their vacation!

They had a wonderful time.

Hooray for having music again!

Good to hear they're having a good time on their holiday.

Equally good to hear the cat sitting is going so well. Giving meds via the ear souns so much better than having to make sure they eat their pills!

I hope you've had a good week weather-wise so you could enjoy yourself during James' leave! Here it's become far too hot and today was humid too. Luckily it's supposed to get cooler again tomorrow.

It's great having music while walking :D

The cat sitting did go well, and yeah, the ear medicine is amazing and so much easier. The only tiny downside is having to wear gloves to do it as it's a skin transmittable medicine, but I'd much rather do that than wrestle pills into a cat.

The weather has been lovely this week. It did get really hot on Monday, then stayed warm and sunny, but not too bad for the rest of the week. But, it's much cooler and grey today so I assume our weather is following yours again.

Oh the ear drops must be SO much easier! What a clever idea.

Many congrats on sticking to the claiming of the headphones. I wonder how many people give up on them if it's such a faff.

[turps]

The ear med is so much easier to give than tablets. You just have to be careful and wear gloves in case it gets absorbed into your skin. But, I'd much rather do that than the pill alternative.

Cynically, I did wonder if the faff was put in place simply to put people off from claiming. Especially the time limits for actually submitting the claim.
