The temperature has been back up to 30° so I forced myself to tidy and organise papers and files in my office – tedious but necessary. Bluey kept me company, but Tilly spent a long time sleeping under the shelter she had made for herself by pulling down the pet cover.


I took some books back to the library and visited my tiling friend to pick up some grout. This is for the tiles that were replaced when the lift was installed last year. The young tradies were either very tired or colour blind, as they used a near-black grout when it should have been mid-grey. I had to scrape it all out before it set. Hopefully, any residual black won’t be noticeable.
I carried, cajoled, and bribed Bluey into going for a walk this morning. We only managed 2 kms, but that is better than just standing around at the park. His ears look better, but the fur on them needs washing as the gooey antibiotic medicine leaks out of his ears. The 10 day course doesn’t finish until Sunday, and we will both be glad when it is over. If we have this issue again, I will ask if a slow release antibiotic injection is an option.
