At last the final vegetable seeds have come through. The butternut squash has been the last to show its little leaves, although to be fair to them they did get moved from their original pot. Well, in truth, not so much moved as abandoned and restarted as my Mistress couldn\u2019t locate the original seed and needed to use the pot for the blueberry. If you look at what were small seedlings last weekend when my Mistress had to transplant them, the peas, cauliflowers and broccoli look amazing now and I\u2019m actually starting to believe that before we\u2019ve finished there might be something my Mistress can eat on them. Ironically it will be the strawberries that are ready first and she can\u2019t actually eat them!<\/p>\n
Aristotle went to have his blood test yesterday to make sure there is no problem with his liver after his allergic episode last week. He hasn\u2019t had the results yet, but we are all hoping there is no long term damage. He says he\u2019s feeling fine now, which is a good start. If his test doesn\u2019t show his liver back to normal then he has to have another test next week, or more to the point two one before eating and one afterwards. He\u2019s not going to be happy if that has to happen \u2013 two blood tests in one day is a bit much!<\/p>\n
We have got back to the point of understanding that when my Mistress is on the phone we should be quiet\u2026 unless it is within one hour of our meal time! If you ring then there isn\u2019t a hope of my Mistress being able to hear you over the din of us reminding her not to get carried away and forget to feed us. She\u2019s almost at the point where for that hour she\u2019s just going to let the answerphone take the call.<\/p>\n
