a black and hairy welcome

I have arrived home for my festive few days. Pooka was pleased to see me. She was also a bit damp and smelly (she may have rolled in something.... I have addressed the situation by blow-drying her, sprinkling her with talcum powder and giving her a good brushing. I read about that in the Reader's Digest book "Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Objects" (or something like that). Not the hair-drying bit. But I figured that wet fur + talcum powder might end badly. Hence the blow-dry. I must say she tolerated it all rather well.

My plan is to go back South on Saturday sometime then do some emergency time Saturday night because we like emergency. And there should be some people to practise suturing on :D

Now I am thinking about whether to go to he 11pm service. It being 5 past 10 and all. I would take Pooka but it's a bit rainy tonight and she doesn't like windscreen wipers... she'd bark the whole way there.
