It's been a strange kind of a day. It started out good, Lyall got me a bridge climb (climbing the Auckland Harbour Bridge) voucher, so we will do that together once the weather cools down a bit, along with a dvd. My sister gave me some Body Shop stuff and pottery and my brother gave me lotto tickets (lets hope their the winning ones!). Dad always gives us money. No scrapbooking supplies, that's a bit sad!!
So I got out of bed, and finished a layout, before going out for lunch. I started my car in the driveway, walked up and opened the gate, backed out and went to close the gate, when I saw this wee wax eye huddled on the ground. How I didn't run it over is beyond me. So I picked it up and gently put it in the garden where I hoped it would be a bit safer. Went off had lunch and a swim (or really just floated around...lol).
When I return from anywhere Tui (the cat) always runs out to greet us. She was hand reared by me from a few days old, and she kind of thinks she's a dog...anyway she didn't come out, and I thought that was pretty strange. After opening up the house etc I gave her a call and in she came, but she just didn't seem herself, so I checked her over and found a huge cut from the base of her tail, but underneath. Rung the vets and took her up there, and the wound required surgery. Both the vet and I are at a loss to what could have caused it. Makes for an interesting opearation for them though! So we are back at home with one very dozy cat who has to stay locked inside for the next three days. I was meant to go hiking tomorrow so have had to cancel that. So quite an eventful day really.
And from tomorrow night I've got my friends two girls till Sunday, as she's going into hospital and her husband is away in the army. So we will have a day here together on Friday and then I will take them out both Saturday and Sunday, to try and tire them out a bit!! One has just turned four and the other will be six in March. They are used to coming and staying so they won't have any problems. I've told them we will make a list of all the things they want to do...should be able to drag that out for a while, might have to get them to illustrate all those things too!!
Oh well another year older, best I go and find out what my hubby has cooked me for dinner!

Happy Birthday, Trace!!! Wow, a bridge climb .. that is so cool! I'd love to do one.
So sorry to hear about Tui's operation, but it sounds like she did well. I hope she recovers quickly.
Have fun babysitting! I'm sure you will all have a lot of fun together.
Aw - poor puss - you got a bit of mystery on your hands there.
You better do more than just float in the sea from now on if you're going to do the bridge climb! LOL.
Its sure been an interesting day for you.
Happy birthday! sounds like a good one. Poor kitty. Hope she's back to normal soon.
Belated birthday greetings ... something will be on its way in the next few days [might be some scrapping supplies - lol].
Take care.
