hazardous food waste out in Redhall Park @redhallpark.bsky.social and surrounding area, again.
Chicken, either raw, as in this case, or cooked is not a 'treat' for foxes. It could kill them or a dog.
Yet again had to wrestle bone away from Daisy, who has only just got over Ecoli at cost of c. 2k.

No matter how many times I repeat the mantra
"The heating is on, you are either IN or you are OUT"
Daisy still insists on going in and out all day.
Its like the hokey cokey with doors.

Wracked up her 7th vet visit of the last few weeks. Has had an anti-emetic. Is now sleeping off a 30 hour bout of refusing food or liquid, and vomiting.
Hopefully that is it for a few weeks.

Daisy is feeling very sorry for herself. She has had 6 vet trips. She has had a scan and I think because of sedation she feels very nauseous.
Good news the bladder stone has gone.
Send your healing vibes that she gets her appetite back soon 🐾

It's nice to see a pot in use, instead of gathering dust on top of a cupboard- using this one to contain the bay leaves.

How much money do I need when I retire?
I found this table in this article moneyweek.com/personal-fin...
Based on a gap between state pension (12,014) and minimum retirement (13,400) of £1,386 that looks doable. 2x state pension already covers the minimum for a couple/ 2 person household.

Turn those abs from flab into FABS!! With new improved Freshers Flu 25. Much like FF'24 but with added phlegm.🤒
Why do crunches when you can just cough cough cough your way to a flatter firmer stomach?💪
Program lasts between 3 days to 3 months depending on recovery time 🤧

Top tip - do not experimentally put your leather hard greenware pot in the air fryer for 5 minutes to see if it will dry a bit quicker
