The cats got their first visit to the vet today. I'd tired them out previously by sitting outside in the sun on the kitchen chair watching them race around outside, so when the three of us went inside again, they settled down very easily and which made it a lot easier to put them in the catboxes.

Jemima was, surprisingly, on her best behaviour. I had thought she would be growling and spitting and absolutely furious with me, but instead she stayed on the stainless-steel table and was affectionate and smoochy. She even purred. The vet couldn't hear her heartbeat because she was purring so loudly. She was fairly sure Jemima doesn't have a heart murmur anyway. Jemima weighs 4.33kgs at the moment and is probably about six years old, which is a lot younger than I was expected. But clearly happy and healthy, which was good to hear. And she has now had a flu-jab and goes back in three weeks for the booster. I am considering getting her micro-chipped when I can afford it. Not that she wanders; I'm just paranoid.

She is currently curled up sleeping on my bare duvet and the pile of clean washing on my bed. Tobais (also jabbed and weighed) is dozing on the other side of the pile of clean washing, on the bottom duvet.

G came over this afternoon and we got a decent amount of LARP work done. I have a couple of characters to finish and I have to type up what I have, but we are on track. Now we only need people who want to play the characters...

This evening, some friends of mine were having a winter warming party (cheese fondue and mulled wine). I rarely see some of these people, so went along. It was fun. And as often happens at these parties, I turned to A. and said "This is neat music. What is it?" and was promptly informed. Whereupon I muse about borrowing it. Last time, I had his Cradle of Filth CD for absolutely ages. This time, he burned me Leave's Eyes and Liv Kristine, which I liked and Nightwish, which he thought I might like. It's rather cool. Semi-operatic, but with these heavy metal type sections and the male singer sometimes reminds me of the Cradle of Filth lead singer...

I should fold my washing and move it so I can go to bed.
