After having made a complete recovery from yesterday’s traumatic vet visit (I’m talking about me, not Loki 😉 ) here you see the big galoot sprawled on his favourite cat bed with assorted toys and shaved leg (from blood extraction). Results on Monday. Loki refuses to believe he no longer fits on that bed, adorable doofus that he is. 🧡🐈

So back in January when Loki’s left upper incisor fell out, I took him to the vet’s and thankfully there were no complications. But I mentioned to Eva that Loki had been drinking more water than usual lately and she told me to keep an eye on his water consumption and come back to have a blood test done to check for kidney issues if it continued. And well, with three cats it’s pretty much impossible to know which one is drinking how much, so I put it out of my mind but it was still kind of niggling back there. My Sunny died of kidney failure so I am aware of the signs, and Loki actually tends to splash more water out of the bowl than he drinks, but I finally decided better to be safe than sorry. Anyhow a cat of Loki’s years (12 now) should be getting a regular annual check up, and so today was the day.

I realise I am late to the party and should have been making banana bread since the first lockdown, but I went stroganoff crazy instead. So sue me. BUT THEN I found myself with a few over ripe bananas (don’t ask) and it seemed like the obvious thing to do. Not having a banana bread recipe, and not wanting to sift through the gazillions of them online, I basically used my lemony poppy seed cake recipe and swapped a few things around. Turned out pretty good, though I should have taken it out of the pan sooner (got a bit mushy on the bottom). What’s your favourite thing to bake? Mine is usually something savoury.

So after 16 years, 5,794 posts and 869,461 peeks, this silly old blog is still going. I never would have thought way back then that it would carry on for so long, especially when at times it looked like I wouldn’t even be around to write it. Anyhow, here we are, and because this is Sunday you also get a song. And yes, I am hoping to stay a little bit – or even a lot – longer.
Thanks for sticking around (and welcome to any new visitors!).
I couldn’t be doing this without you.
