Amazing, also a lot of labour in the days when the Monsoon gardens were full of water, must have looked beautiful

Yes, Kath. Water in the Mogul gardens would be beautiful.
A very nice, sunny day, after a cold night which froze the ponds again, and the birds' water. It's just become dark and I've come in from the garden. I turned over the bed where I planted potatoes last year - got the fork out and started on it. I also filled a wheelie-bin with twigs and branches that I had in a pile from last year. A lot more of that to clear. I spread the contents of some grow-bags on a hard dry patch of soil - with gravel in it - and I might plant some poppies there, at the side of the back garden path. It's a messy area and badly needs something to brighten it up. Just been along to shut in my neighbour's chickens for the night, as they're away.

Hello, everyone. I've just collected Billy from the veterinary surgery. She did have tumours on her spleen so it was removed. She also had a cracked tooth, and that was taken out. So she's got a sore mouth and a sore tum! She's such a good dog. She's in her basket after having something to eat. She sees the vet. again on Friday.

The pain is bad but if the results are good its worth it. Claws crossed Billy. At least you're eating.
My name is Don and I'm a bonsaiholic. If at first you don't succeed, try again with something easier.

Well done Billy, you're such a brave girl. There's nothing better than to be at home with mum and resting in your own basket. Get better soon, a big hug from us all.

Thanks very much, Don and Kath. She's quiet and still very sleepy. Looking forward to her being brighter in the morning, when the anaesthetic really wears off.
Kind of you to think of us.

Very happy to hear Billy has come through the surgery OK. Animals are so much more resilient than we humans - no doubt she'll be feeling much better over the next couple of days. Pats and hugs from the other end of the world! Cheers Carol

Thank you, Carole. Very good of you to wish Billy all the best. She had a restless night, in pain, I think, so I've just given her a dose of "Metacam" painkiller I had for one of the other dogs. She doesn't like wearing the plastic "Elizabethan" collar, so I've taken it off while I sit with her. She was hungry just now (6 a.m.) and has had a meal and is quiet in her basket, covered up with a blanket.
