Well Birthday time again, and what a lovely Birthday it has been. Alistair as always has looked after me and we have had a lovely day, although touched by sadness.
Tomorrow night we are going out to Mr Underhills which is a Michelin starred restaurant here in Ludlow. I believe its just been voted the third best in the country. We have tried so many times to book a table and they have always been fully booked. Tomorrow should be interesting and I am looking forward to it.
Sparticus, one of our cats, has been suffering for awhile with bladder problems and we have tried everything with stays in three different animal hospitals. He recently became incontinent ( and was renamed 'Drippy') but was still frisky enough to romp with his brother Achilles. Unfortunately things have gone downhill the last few days and the cattery rang us yesterday with news that he was in a bad way. We knew it would come to this but it is sad to have to say to goodbye to Sparticus ad even sadder that we werent there to hold him in his last moments. He turned us into 'cat' people and we loved him to bits. All the family will miss him so much.
Well I shall enjoy my red wine this evening and plan to watch Hugh Fernley Whittingstall in his thought provoking programme about the fishing industry.
"Cheers" to all fellow Capricorns
