A relaxing day

rosiesparkThe weather has been weird today. When I got to the beach at around twelve, it was very hot and sunny. About an hour later the sun went in behind a bank of ominous grey clouds and there was thunder rumbling around, but no rain. I stuck it out on the beach, and after a little while, the sun came back out. Then this evening, there was the most spectacular light show in the sky. Lightning like strobe lights as I drove back from the vet's, and everyone predicting a cataclysmic storm. So I got the cats in and checked the rainwater drain in the courtyard, and prepared to sit tight and let the weather do its worst. Two hours later, and all we've had is one short sharp shower, and the stars are out again!
Pixel really does seem to be improving - the wound has stopped leaking pus and is starting to close up, she's eating a little more and she's even started washing herself a bit - all reassuring signs. She's still on daily antibiotic injections. The vet admitted yesterday that the current antibiotic was her last card. What she actually said was that it was her "last straw" - either a direct translation from German or a blip caused by constantly juggling three languages in her head, I'd say.
Today was a good day - the beach was bliss this morning, just me and a couple of anglers minding their own business. And I stopped at the mechanic to get the brake fluid topped up, which I have been needing to do for around a week, as well as picking a gorgeous bunch of grapes at my parents' house. And I read a fair bit of HMS Surprise at the beach, and topped up my suntan - all in all a most satisfactory day!
