Vet, vet, vet

 It started to rain as I got up this morning. It was just warming up for later when it turned into a monsoon for several hours. I splashed my way to Zoe's and then escorted Ellie to school while Zoe finished faffing and headed off to work.

We had a chap who trades as "Oven Genie" arrive soon after I returned. He set about cleaning our ovens. It took him all morning, but he took them apart and delved into every crevice and recess. He seemed to use a huge amount of "Pink Stuff" and a lot of elbow grease. He was with us for two and a half hours but has done a wonderful job. The ovens look like new.

We had to leave as soon as the Oven Genie left. We had to get Jasper back to the vet. He still isn't eating and we can't get him to take his antibiotics or painkillers. The vet was very accommodating and checked him over. Jasper was given a couple of injections and we will see how he responds overnight. He has a follow-up appointment tomorrow.

I've been doing some more admin for the upcoming Band of Brothers lunch. Unsurprisingly we have had a dropout - and I expect two further no-shows. The restaurant is booked, however, and the remainder of us are raring to go.

After some Kindle time, I collected Ellie from school and she has been with us for a couple of hours or so. I made sufficient dinner so that Zoe (who didn't finish until 18:00) could eat with us rather than go home and start cooking.
