Today I forced myself to do some jobs. I swapped the empty 9 kg gas bottle for a full one, but struggled to lift it into the back of the Toyota! Five minutes of weeding was my limit. Anita was in the pool, clearing out hedge trimmings left by our thoughtless gardeners. I cleared debris from our new pool cleaner, but struggle when out of the air conditioning. I have started using a puffer to hopefully settle my cough.
Bluey is having trouble climbing our staircase. He loses his rhythm three quarters of the way up, partly due to fear of Tilly attacking him, but also because his claws are so long. I trimmed them, but his two middle claws on both front paws are unusually long. I cut these claws as close to the quick as possible.

Two campers parked up at the end of our street with their wheels on the gutter and stayed the night. Council rangers visited the next day, and the campers haven’t returned.
