I hadn't thought of this but when one does it's not surprising under the circumstances.
Small one is now sparko. Mrs P has appeared for coffee........I've informed her small person has already wandered round downstairs, located all her swimming 🏊♀️ stuff and put it in her bag. Clear message there and pretty good for 21 months.
🏊♂️ is not my domain.........
Wordled in two........impressive

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Very sad but to be honest getting a pet has always been so easy and cheap. And some owners just don't treat animals as they should.
Let's hope they find better homes, but In all honesty people can no longer afford to feed or pay vet fees . Its sad that it costs more to have a cats teeth seen to than to see a vet as you have found out.
People however get pets without thinking or caring about those costs. That's one reason why I won't have another pet.
This is going to happen a lot more in the coming months as well.
I think this is a subject that could cause some arguments

Have to admit, if it wasn't for having to dip into my inheritance money for Molly's treatment, I wouldn't manage it. In fact, I doubt if I could manage on just my work pension at the moment. My direct debits will soon be as much
I just wish people would think ahead and consider all the costs and problems of pet ownership before they rush out and get one. It's not the purchasing of the pet that costs all that much, but the cost of care over the years you have them, and if you aren't going to do it properly, then I don't think you should do it at all. It's just not fair on the poor pets.

I never thought about them. Yes, you are probably correct.

An optician open on a Sunday? That's pretty unusual I would have thought.
Porridge finished so cuppa now.
I watched the third episode of Marriage last night. I am a glutton for punishment.Van Der Valk is on tonight, but I want to watch the athletics so I'll catch up on it another night.

Just realised it's the Crieff Highland games today. I should be hearing the skirl of bagpipes wafting over soon. I haven't been to them for years but they seem popular. Hopefully the weather will hold.
Quite a lot of running and cycling events as well as the usual caber tossing, hammer throwing, etc.

It’s the optician in the Asda store Mo. I’ve been using them for years and been really pleased with the service.

They have a "Kilt Race", do the kilts run or is it a race for the kilt.
Why is the Highland Dancing, last item before 1.30pm, an Irish Jig?

Think you're supposed to wear a kilt to take part. Anything goes though, so no need to have a proper kilt. Tartan skirt or even a DIY job with some tartan material. Just a bit of fun, although I'm sure some will be taking it seriously.
