Nov. 29th, 2021 10:35 amIt's been an interesting few days weather-wise. Storm Arwen hit with a vengeance Friday night, then snow that froze over after that.
Compared to some we got lucky, the fence is down between our house and the neighbour's, but we have a good relationship with them and will go halves to get it fixed once conditions are better. Kayleigh lost loads of her roof tiles, but lives in a local authority house so won't have to pay for that, and the power cut we had was mostly overnight. It's so weird when a whole area loses power, it's so quiet and dark, and when EE's mobile network dropped out for a while that was the icing on the cake. But, at least the power is back now, a lot of people still don't have it.
So many trees are down in town, fences down and so many stories of gazebos and trampolines flying through the air and landing in a heap of twisted metal. Strong wind really is my least favourite weather condition.
Milo was at the vet's on Friday, but thankfully we got home before the storm got bad. I wanted his ears checked and the fact he's still only got a bit of fuzz and a few tufts where he was shaved for his amputation. It's been three months now so I was a bit worried, but apparently, it's just a combination of his age and the fact he was on steroids for so long. The vet was hopeful his fur would grow back eventually, but warned it could take a good while, so he'll just have to rock the balding look. His ears had a minor infection in one, so he's on drops for that, but again, nothing to worry about.
I enjoyed Strictly this week, there were some fabulous dances, my favourites being John and Johannes Argentine Tango And AJ and Kai's AJ and Kai's Couple's Choice. I was also loving Nikita's dancing shirt.
In the last week I've also watched and enjoyed the Bake Off Final and the Drag Race UK final, neither had the winners I wanted but were still enjoyable.
It's B12 injection time tomorrow and I went on the app to order the meds, like I've done for years now, only to find they'd been taken off my repeat prescription. That was Friday night so I spent the weekend wondering what was going on. Phoned this morning and it seems they've changed the process so if you get 3 monthly injections like I do, the meds automatically go to the nurse. Which is a better system, but it would have been nice to be told in advance.
