Ozzie the Outrageous terrified the substitute mail carrier today so they're going to hold a package for me to go pick up. I guess she didn't have pizza...View attachment 140657

Well that worked out. I got a notification that my package was in the mailbox so I called the post office to thank the supervisor and found out that he's the husband of my mail carrier, Jessica, that I was giving fresh tomatoes, chili's, squash, cucumbers, and stuff to all summer. He knew me from the address and loved my tomatoes! 🤣
 
I'll apologise now for the next few days. I'm a little distracted and got a lot on my plate at the moment. My sister's first dog was euthanised on Saturday (been in palative care for 18 mnths with a benign liver tumour), at the same time our step father had an emergency admission (via 111) into a&e with heart problems. He was discharged with new meds same day as snd a "you'll get an appointment either Sunday or Monday"... well he didn't get one and is now back in hospital via 999 when things got worse.

so I might be a bit absent over the next few days, or distracted, or my typos worse than normal etc... so, I'll apologise now.

How’s Pippi doing today? Meds working?
Give the sweet baby a hug and a pat for me.

She's doing fine with her meds. She gets phenobarbital twice a day in a drink of water. No seizure indications but she is almost 15 so there are other age issues but I watch out for her. Thank you for asking! ☺️
 
Finally, my first succesful practice car theory exam.

Only 6 mistakes are permitted to be considered as passed. It's rather difficult!

Tuesday next week will be my first real theory exam, so I hope my score will stay around this level now. I know zero people who managed to get their car theory at the first try (and almost everyone I know is a university graduate) so I'm not too confident.. But I still have a week to study and will use it.
