Swift Half update - 3rd December 2010

  • More freezing weather (didn't get above minus four all day - pretty rare for the Thames valley) with a day's respite tomorrow (may get to 5 celcius) and then back to frrr-eezing temperatures again.
  • Cutlery seems about the same as yesterday - eating well but still as light as a feather and weak. If she makes significant progress tomorrow, I'll either pop her in the shed overnight, to test her temperature-retaining abilities or even re-introduce her to the coop.
  • Yala's anaesthetic has worn off now - they've had to leave most of the surgical would open to "let it weep". Well.... weep it has (and is, still) - her tummy and left rear leg is soaked. She's looking very sad in her collar, not being able to clean herself or go outside - and I'm mildly concerned she's not even done a "number two" today.
  • Wait and see still, for cat and hen - Yala will be inside for a couple of weeks I think, but I really want to get Cutlery out of the house now - she's been quarantined on her own for exactly a week, and this can't go on much longer....

  1. sorry to hear of all the pet problems...but, they seem to be sorting themselves out today... just viewed Black Rabbit III (full screen). It is very inspiring. Not just the photographs--- but, the fact that you've taken the time and energy to do it. It makes me want to try something like that... a benchmark, a year frozen in photographs, that years later you can sit around and say here is our year of 2010. It was a little hard to read the last page of the book (screen/resolution), but was sorry to hear of your loss. Also, your job situation sounds somewhat serious (I remember the same concerns a year or so ago--- you went offline on flickr for awhile). best regards to you and Anna... al
