The visitor

Not feeling too good have a rotten sore throat and cough. I feel I should be wearing a mask when I'm out in case people think I have the swine flu and may give it to them. We have cards tonight and I am thinking of calling it off as my friend, Christa has to go into hospital again for another operation on Tuesday and I wouldn't like her to catch my cold. Speaking of Christa the first operation they took out the lumps and surrounding tissue and both lymph nodes. The lymph nodes were clear but they want to take a bit more of the tissue just in case. If all goes well she will start radiotherapy in 3 weeks.

I love my new oven. I have been very careful to keep it clean and intend to do so forever. Might mean having to eat out more. Just baked some blueberry muffins for tonight (which may be called off) to show that I can actually cook something. The last chocolate muffins I cooked for Easter which were to have little bird's nest on came out complete black from the old oven and ended up in the bin.

Yes we have a visitor this week. Little Bandit has come to stay while his master and mistress are living it up in the Islands. I think Pinto enjoys the company although he pretends he doesn't sometimes. I know he will be sad for a couple of days when Bandit leaves. Only thing is Bandit isn't house trained or apparently he was before the "accident" happened but has reverted so I have to follow him around putting puppy nappies down everywhere. He loves going out for a walk and will run behind the kitchen door and look up at the leads. Its like having a blanket on when you watch tv and he is sitting on our lap. He's the lap dog Pinto was supposed to be. Pinto is such a wuss sometimes. He will be eating something and Bandit will come and take it out of his mouth. Pinto's reaction is to just walk away. They are both curled up on the couch behind me at the moment.
