Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
Logan and I went to the vet last week.
All ent well. Our weights are perfect, and the only problems we have are the issues we knew about with my itchies and bad legs.
Just thought you would like to know.
Lots of licks,
Lilie
Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.
Me and Logan went to the groomer a couple of days ago.
But Mummy and Daddy forgot to get photos of us. Sorry.
Only Daddy takes us to the groomer now. Mummy can’t any more. I don’t understand why, but Mummy and Daddy say that with Mummy being sick it’s easier if Daddy takes us by himself. And me and Logan don’t mind too much, as long as we get to go. We’re always glad to see Mummy when we get back home though.
Lots of licks,
Lilie
I’ve started trying to go to the ACB calls when I can again. It’s tiring, but it’s nice to be back in touch with the friends I made when I was more active in the community before I got sick. I miss feeling well enough to do more, but can’t be helped.

I’ve made some progress with the things I’m watching and reading, but there’s nothing new to report besides what I said in last week’s post, so you can check that out if you missed what I’m watching and reading and are curious.

It’s been pretty wet here. So, typical Welsh weather.

It was my brother's birthday last Friday. So, happy belated birthday to Wayne.

And that’s the extent of news from my little corner of the world.
We rehomed Artemis the tortoise.
With my decline in health, and the living room being turned in to combination living room and my bedroom/hospital room, he wasn’t getting what he needed any more. He was ending up stuck in his vivarium all the time, getting very little attention. He was not a happy tortoise, understandably.
Now he lives somewhere where they can give him plenty of time out of his vivarium. They also have an outdoor enclosure for days when the weather is nice enough for the tortoises to go outside, which is something we could never provide him but is good for him. And, yes, I said, “tortoises,” since they have another tortoise already. They did have two, but lost one to medical issues last year and had been toying with the idea of getting a second again. Then I said I was looking for somewhere for Artemis, so they felt it was meant to be.
They’ve sent us a couple of updates. Artemis is being well taken care of, and he’s clearly happy now, which is good enough for me. There were some photos with the updates, so we could see that for ourselves.
Here are a couple of those photos, one of which includes his new friend:
This year has so far gone about as well as possible. I’m doing as well as I can be under the circumstances physically. Let’s hope it stays that way for some time yet.
I’m really not sure what else to say. Mostly my life revolves around medical stuff (I’m staying out of hospital, but have some phone and at home medical appointments happening). But I am trying to get some other stuff happening in between – when I’m not too tired.
I’ve been reading a little. I read a book called "Dragonbreeze" by Katrina Cope, which I got an advanced copy of, and am now slowly reading "Howl's Moving Castle" by Diana Wyn Jones.
Plus, I binge-watched “The Big Bang Theory” and the rest of season one of “Wednesday” on Netflix. Now I’m working my way through old “Critical Role” on YouTube, since I missed the first campaigne completely, and got way behind on the second one. They’re now on their third campaigne, but I’m starting from the first campaigne, so have a long way to go to catch up.
Oh, and we got a light dusting of snow the other day. There wasn’t much to it, and it didn’t stick around, but I felt it was better than nothing. Then we got another, slightly heavier, bit of snow yesterday, which is likely gone by the time you are reading this.
That’s about as exciting as things get around here right now.
Hope all is well with you, and you’re finding fun things to do.
