Rain and more rain. We all got out of bed about 9:30am and wandered thru the day. Charlotte, Sophie and Dad went for a walk in the rain. Char in the drizabone – Sophie got drenched thru an old rain coat. They had fun stomping in puddles and getting wet.

Then the rest of the day was spent going stir crazy in the house….

Bel made a batch of her famous scones, the cream is going be a problem his evening.

Cut up the cube roll for dinner his evening. Steak looked awesome. Dad decided to cook it on the stovetop, worked well but may be too hot. Also did spuds in the oven in duck fat.

The day was totally focused on the big boy. The Vet was to arrive about 2:30pm how ever rocked up about 1pm. Wasn’t the nicest thing to see. There was a growth on the left eye that needed to be removed. The vet gave him a mild aesthetic to knock him down. The important thing, we were told, was to make suer he fell onto the right side. Once he was out it would be impossible to move him over.

Once down the vet cut the growth (carcinoma) out of his eye, blood everywhere but no stiches needed. Eventually he woke up and was groggy on the feet for a while. Ting also needed some medicine for her eye.

Then the rain came and we were stuck inside for the rest of the day. Mum headed back to Sydney and I made Fettuccini and chicken for dinner.
