Yesterday\u2019s walk was not so far. Mum was tired and didn\u2019t feel up to doing quite so much. We went along the lane opposite the house, including as section we hadn\u2019t done before. In total we added 1.51 miles to our October total. We\u2019re on track, but I\u2019ve told Mum she won\u2019t be able to slack as we haven\u2019t banked enough extra for her to do that. She says I\u2019m a hard task master, but the reality is I\u2019m hoping that all this will mean I can increase what I\u2019m eating again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poor Aristotle. After thinking his eye was improving on Saturday it was back to being just as bad as it started by yesterday. He was so miserable. He\u2019s had all his medication as he\u2019s supposed to, but it isn\u2019t doing the job. Mum will be ringing the vet for him again today and taking him for his third visit. Maybe he should see a different vet, but it will depend on who is on duty. He\u2019s feeling a bit worried about it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We tried to help cheer him up by helping him harvesting the squash. One of them weighs 5kg and is really very big. There are still six he has left to continue outdoors for a while, but the other eighteen are now in the greenhouse to help them ripen. He\u2019s really rather proud of them. He wants to keep some of the seeds to start off next year\u2019s crop. He\u2019s got a parsnip and a carrot going to seed as well so that he can use those to start next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think I forgot to tell you that the sunflower is having another go at flowering. Ari says it proves you should never give up but I think there are times when that can be a poor use of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
