No rain here so far today, but it certainly threw it down during the night. Everything is rather wet and squelchy. That the heavens will open at some point here is pretty well much of a given.

Working on a writing project today.

I am in much need of a

It'll pee down in a minute, as I'm about to take Jack out for a walk...

Ah. Yes. Likely a classic application of Sod's Law.

Awh... Poor wee toot. Sending Tasha some gentle head rubs from Poppy, Lexi and me.

Have you got a large dog cage or something of that ilk? Failing that, might be wise to confine her to one room xxx

I have set up a litter tray and assorted soft comfy blankets is what is usually my sewing room. She very quickly found a dark corner to "hide" in. I think she needs peace and quiet. There is a very noticeable aroma of anti-septic on her, and she has a flowery bandage where the drip was attached.

I thought I would just check the pergola that is still in a cardboard box in the kitchen. It's heavy but I managed to lower one end and then the other onto the floor.
I found the instructions and parts check list and started ticking bits off. When I removed one of the uprights I noticed that one end had be ground along a floor, another one was similar and then I noticed that the cardboard box had been worn through where someone had dragged the box along a concrete floor.
I think somebody is going to get a phone call tomorrow.

1 tip, before opening the door to that room make sure every other door/window/catflap is shut then if she does make a bid for freedom at least she cannot get out of the house.

Thank you @raleighnut, all the windows are closed. The house is rather warm now.

She does not have a catflap.

Ah. A concierge service then, same like here chez Casa Reynard.

Quite windy and showery on the Yukatan peninsular today but still maybe 25 or 27 degrees. Slobbing day or two to be had I think.

It's been chucking it down here - I went out on my winter bike, with overshoes and my waterproof jacket. I still got soaked.......and this is the second week of August.

As I was riding for enjoyment I just abandoned the ride, if I'd had to go somewhere then I would have just gone

Still delectably hot in Toledo. Siesta ruined by a Skype conference.... Nearly beer o'clock and the local craft IPA is surprisingly good.

The Patient is doing very well, all things considered. She has eaten some small quantities of food. Purring has been heard, and a tummy rub was alllowed.
Thank you to you all for your advice and suggestions and sympathy.

The sticky bandage (printed with pink pigs bright green) has been removed, and she has settled down on a chair under the dining/sewing table.

The opiates are yet to be administered (by syringe), perhaps Gravel would help with that. So far, she has shown little interest in going out.

You're only posting that because you know how damn Autumnal it is back in Blighty.
