The boy and I are on Easter hols this week, and have decided to be active, and get out and about in Scotland since our RSPB membership cards came in this week. Today we went to Stirling in search of nature. We spotted Hamish the Highland coo in a woollen mill next to Callander, surrounded by 3 coach loads of tourists armed with cameras. He just loved the attention... We also stopped at Aberfoyle (great toilets) and popped up to the David Marshall Lodge . A lovely place with virtually tame birds at the seed hangers and tables; chaffinches, coal tits, siskins etc. Really enjoyable, spoiled only by the completely inappropriate noise-fest that is Go-Ape! (exclamation point part of their logo ... 'nuff said). But the best place we visited was Argaty Red Kites - it was unexpected because we only stopped in as it was on the road we happened to be on.

I did a lot of research into the best design and found that the 'sock' was much better for ease of use whilst on the move. 100% cotton was the best yarn to knit with as it doesn't stretch or lose it's shape. This means that your cover will stay snug-fitting all the time. Another reason I decided to go with 100% cotton is that this will not scr...
What's been happening? Well it's been busy, and it's been emotional... In cat news, everything was so very stressful it brought on my first ever cold sore... But all is well for the moment. Injection giving has become routine, and he doesn't even notice anyway as he's wolfing down his food so voraciously! I do the morning shift, and the boy the evening shift. I've learned some important things during my trawling through the web trying to sift useful cat diabetes information from horror stories. from my friend the vet: if he seems fine in himself, don't get stressed about the numbers. from some forum, somewhere: if he's doing the 5 'P's then he's probably fine; preening playing purring pooing peeing There are quite a few people out there absolutely obsessed with blood glucose testing.
