They have started harvesting the barley grown in the field at the back of our flat.... poor cats used to love running around in there hidden from sight. This early harvesting is one of the reasons why I keep getting confused about what month it is.... that is July and August activity not March/April.
So What is New
Well I realise that I forgot to say that my arabic classes have been cancelled. Well I had to abandon them because the French guy stopped coming and the cost would have gone from expensive to exorbitant.... I had a feeling that he might drop out but there was little I could do. It is a real shame as I was starting to make progress. I will keep trying to practice what I had learnt and maybe learn some new verbs and hope that either the mysterious 3rd person (who was supposed to start classes with us but didn't) shows up or we find another class.
Marmela is much better. The day after the vet came the abscess burst. I think Marmela got a bit of a fright when it happened and ran around so we had blood and pus all over the flat. However it is starting to heal over nicely now - though she still has a big scab it no longer takes up half her head.
The pictured cat is Smokey Robertson (yes well the vet's assistant was too young to realise that she had got the name wrong on the vaccination card) who recently moved in with my sister (Aberdeen). He is a lovely big fella and really does talk to you - though a limited vocabulary (so far) "Why?" was a favourite and I am pretty sure I heard "Allah".
