Update - Indi was a pain last night- squeaking to go out of the crate at 2.15, 4.40 and 5.50am. I got soaking wet slippers trailing round the garden with her, so let her go on her own. She disappeared off into the dark up the garden and I don’t know if she did perform up there or not. I went back into the bedroom, eventually went looking and she was lying on the path outside the door. The boys had gone with her, of course, but they came back first. In the end i got cross with her, smacked her bum and told her to settle down. I then got half an hour sleep before the alarm went off. She is moving quite easily, objected strenuously to me trying to lift her into the car - she wanted to jump in - so we had two false starts with her bouncing and me lifting her away before she could rip her stitches out. The vet is happy with her so we go back into a week for a final check.

My op went well, or so I was told. Lovely doctor, good laugh, although it was a bit startling to find to trainees doing the op with him advising and saying, ‘Lift that… retract that a bit more … now cut that… a bit deeper… don’t cut the (whatever) …’ anyway, I have a thick bandage for 3 days, then take it off and leave the dressing on for two weeks, checkup at doctors then carry on carefully after that. Nothing too energetic now, but keep fingers mobile he said. Anaesthetic has worn off and it’s starting to ache a bit but I have painkillers if needed. He said dog walking is fine but not to hold the lead on that hand - we spent quite a while discussing dogs.

I don't beeeelieve it, just had an email from Sainsbury's advising Christmas, give us a break, haven't even got the wife's broomstick ready yet for Halloween.

If you missed The Martin Lewis Money Show this week, the energy price cap could be going up by NEARLY A QUARTER in December, so if you aren't on a fixed rate, Martin says lock one in NOW. Not tomorrow because they go up almost hourly.

I'm a Titanic survivor! There's a VR event going on in Bristol this month and after a friend recommended it, I decided to go this morning, and it was so good. I've used a VR helmet once before a while ago and loved it, so even though some reviewers complained of feeling sick, I hoped I'd be okay and I was. Such a clever show. It took you down to the wreck and then back up for a tour of the ship, which was rudely interrupted by a call to say "ICEBERG!" The next we knew, we were in a lifeboat watching the ship go down. Brilliant and well worth the £18 I paid. If it comes to a town near you, I highly recommend it.
