I'm terrible at this...

I keep forgetting to update this place, mainly because I forget but also because I haven't got a great deal to say.

The one thing of note is that Poppy will no longer be able to breed. I'm in two minds about how I feel. She was so listless and groggy when I picked her up from the vet I felt immediately guilty that we had chosen to put her through the operation. Afterall, it's not like it's been her choice to not have babies, and they had to shave her side, so she has a rather undignified patch where they cut into her, and the nurse said it could take some time for that to grow back. It has revealed to us how thin she is too, the fur seems to bulk her out. I'm also a bit sad that she won't have kittens because part of me would have liked to have introduced a new cat to her, and it would have been so much easier had it been one of her own.

BUT, the fact of the matter is this, it is cruel to bring more cats into the world (even if they are loved) when there are so many in animal shelters that need homes and will probably never get one. She didn't need to have babies, and she'll be able to go out and see things other than these four walls. She had just better come back, that's all I can say!!??!

I see the chicken farm is expanding at a rate of knots. Before long they'll have a small holding and be giving Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall a run for his money!

Montana looks like a very picturesque place, not sure what I think to ziplock omelettes though -does the plastic not melt?
