Spa

It's Bank Holiday Monday and I don't have to get up for work (like every one of the last 3,979 days). I congratulated myself and wandered downstairs for a coffee and jumpstart the day.  

Jasper was the first significant item on today's agenda. We had to get him into his carrier and take him to the cat spa where he will be pampered for the next week. We got part of the way there when we realised that his medication was still sitting in the kitchen. We did a U-turn and headed back home. Meds were collected, and we set off again. Mark (the Cat Whisperer) was waiting and greeted Jasper like an old friend; Jasper, in turn, settled immediately and went to find some fluffy slippers and a bathrobe.

Back home, we had various chores to clear. Di vacuumed the car, I checked the washer bottle, then I spot-cleaned various marks Jasper had left on the carpets. Finally, I updated the accounts.

Meanwhile, Zoe and Ellie were driving across the country. They are going away for a week's holiday at Center Parcs at Longleat. They seemed to have a good trip across the M27 and up through Salisbury towards Warminster. They were checking in soon after midday. I hope they have a wonderful week, but suspect we will get a call from them with all of the gossip from the first day.

After lunch, we had some Kindle time, and then while I started preparing dinner, Di went to Zoe's to feed Beau, the cat. Tomorrow we will start our own packing for a short break.
