nutless

Glad to report that there is not a lot to report from newly nutless Rumpole. He was his normal self when he got back from the vet. Apart from having no bollocks and being a bit wobbly from the anaesthetic. He was wandering forwards with the ocassional sideways slip. Looked like a pissed version of our formerly nutted lad. He slept through most of the evening, we kept him inside when we went to bed and kicked him out a little after 3am, full of energy and empty of the piss he'd pissed on our hallway floor. This morning he woke up very much his old self.

We had a couple of visitors this morning. Loads of them pass through and stop of to eat from our trees, but these two lorikeets stopped on the roof of the sunroom. Grabbed the phone and a crust of bread with a bit of honey on it, locked the dog in the bathroom and took a couple of pics. And I know you're not supposed to feed them. We let Rumpole out to see what was going on and the birds kept eating as dog tried to tunnel through me and Sal. When they flew off Rumpole grabbed the slice of bread and buried it in the garden near the fence. Not sure what kind of a dog buries bread and honey. Cocker Spaniel in this case.

Cold news and I am still a bit blocked but it's moving through and I hope to have a gentle run tomorrow, maybe at the end of the day and maybe after a couple of sinutab. Can't afford to miss too much training, but really can't afford to make myself more ill. Delicate balancing act and I need to avoid stupidity. Tricky.

Last day at work was pretty much like the rest of them only shorter and with more yum cha at lunch. Damn fine choice from my former colleague Steve, far better than the NSW Leagues club that we typically go to when a DBA shuffles off. Yesterday was designated my weekly 24hrs of eat anything you like (each week I allow myself a 24hr period in which I don't beat myself up for eating anything I damn well please.) So Sal, who had been working from home and was gagging for a coffee, and I headed to Maisy's on Military Road where I had the combo I choose 90% of the time, the beef nachos followed by the sticky date pudding, washed down with coffee. Marvellous.
