today...
So, as I was saying earlier - we're off today because Salem and Loki are going to the vets.
We dropped them off this morning, which was actually harder than I thought it would be. When I was signing the forms and they explain about the risks of anaesthetic, I was getting a bit worried and teary. I know it's a routine procedure and nothing is likely to go wrong, but I guess it's because this is the first time I've been solely responsible for a living thing and would feel terrible if anything happened to either of them.
It was also very weird leaving them there and coming home to an empty house...
We went to Downhills Park (about a mile's walk away) to play tennis for an hour or so, and now we are back here waiting for the washing machine to be delivered.
Our 'delivery window' was 12pm to 4pm - it's now 3pm and no sign of them. They're meant to call 30 minutes before they are due to arrive but I can't see that happening.
-----Later-----
Oops, forgot I was writing this!
It's 3:45pm and they aren't here anyway grrrr. Why are delivery services so apalling in this country?
The vet called about an hour ago though to let me know that both kitties have come around from the anaesthetic well and I can go and pick them up at 4. Paul gets the pleasure of staying here to wait for Currys :)
