Hello world!

Hello World indeed! This is the very first time I've ever blogged so who knows what will happen! I am a complete TechnoIdiot so will probably make MANY mistakes.

In fact I've already made one - when starting this, I wanted my user name to be Dormouse - as it is on other sites. But when initially logging on I put, for some reason really not known to myself, my real name. D'Oh. Thus the name of the Blog doesn't really make much sense, whereas if I'd been Dormouse it would have done. As in Dormice and Mad Hatter's Teaparty.  Can I change my User Name? Does anyone out there know?

I suppose View From The Teapot might work in other ways - I'm an EnglishMouse living in France - so there's a "tea" link there in some way, as the French have no idea how to make a decent cuppa - or so Mr D says. I wouldn't know - I don't like tea...

Anyway. Here I am, just back from the vets with Pumpkin (Cat No 1) We got back from our hols on Saturday and noticed on Sunday that she was breathing funny and panting. She's also been very quiet and subdued - not at all like Pumpkin, who is normally twice-as-bouncy as Tigger on a Really Bouncy Day. As this has continued we decided to take her to Mr NiceVet. And apparently she has a heart problem and may need to take tablets for the rest of her life. Now that is a pleasant prospect. Not. So I called in at Petit Casino on the way home to buy tuna and sardines in preparation for feeding her THREE tablets, morning and night, for 10 days. And then "nous verrons" (we will see). It could be that these sort out the problem, but maybe not.

So, with all this excitement - Vets, new blog and going to do a big shop at Géant supermarket, as well as 2 hours teaching not as much as I'd like but there you go!) - I think I need to stop. And go and cut up vegetables for a Spicy Beef Stir Fry (I bought too much steak yesterday, so we have to eat the rest of it today. It cst too much to be used in just one meal)

This is all terribly mundane. Does it matter?
