Bulbomuchacha

Bulbgirl returns from Spain today. in a few hours she will be back in Glasgow. where was she? Barcelona, doing a language course and learning new stuff. that's what she does, she teaches English. meanwhile i've been plodding along slowly but surely with diy, and catsitting bulbcat #3, Gizma (originally Bulbgirl's cat) and looking after bulbcat#2, Raku who is pretty poorly.

Raku had an x-ray taken and it looks like he has some kind of tumor in his chest, so says the vet. his wee lungs were getting enough air into them and he had to be put into an oxygen tent so that he would be strong enough for the x-ray. the vet thinks his days are pretty much numbered which is really sad for all the family, but he seems to be having one good, then one bad day. he should last until Bulbgirl gets back from Spain, and hopefully a lot longer. as long as the poor wee thing isn't in any pain, we'll continue to look after him.

he's people after all.

Red Eyed Monster

the red eyed monster in question is Bulbgirl. red eyed not because she was angry at all but because she has infected eyes with something that has a long name she can't remember. i was in the waiting room at the hospital for over 2 hours and shen she finally did show her eyes were more yellow and orange due to the dye that 2 opthamologists squirted in there. cry me a river, cry me a rainbow more bloomin' likely!

you know when you are in trouble when the docs are interested enough to bring another colleague to exhibit you. another visit she has booked tomorrow, so hopefully that will clear things up and she will see properly again. not see the light, as her eyes are pretty light sensitive at the moment.

i was going to post pics of her peepers but for once i have refrained. this blog is becoming more of a grotty pic blog rather than light reading (although the kid in me always thinks ''ooh, cool photo opportunity!') :)
