It was Murphy's time to go to the vets today, but just for his annual booster and check-up. Last year they said he was about 1kg overweight but this time he's lost 0.5 of that, so he's on the way to the weight he should be. He does need to go back in around 6 months as while his teeth are great he's getting the signs of some gum disease so the vet suggested a scale and x-rays to keep on top of that. Thankfully, after being given a harsh lesson with the other cats, Murphy's got the best and most comprehensive insurance possible so paying won't be an issue when that eventually happens.

Of course, he gave me the cold shoulder when we got home, but we've just had a nice cuddle so I must have been forgiven for taking him out in the snow this morning.

Yesterday was James' birthday, so we went to the Metrocentre to get something to eat and do some shopping. For one of his presents I did buy the Hotel Chocolate hot chocolate in the end, but after a suggestion in comments got the packets and not sachets which worked out a little cheaper but are still just as nice.

We're meeting up with Corey and his girlfriend tomorrow so the birthday celebrations have stretched a bit.

Along with the vets James was supposed to be doing a tip run with my Sil's partner, but when we woke it had been snowing heavily overnight and the roads were a nightmare. So that has been put off until next week.

So now I'm back in the house and am about to catch up online. By which I mean, I have a new Hawkeye ep to watch.
