I am glad to report that things have calmed down a bit now I have invested in a Feliway diffuser to calm the Big Boys down, and it has worked a treat. Alfie actually sniffed noses with Lulu today and though his tail was twitching, he only did a small hiss to say he was boss. L. Whale still not that brave but he is happy to be in the same room now - as long he is on a seat! I won't leave them unattended in the same room yet, but it's going the right way.
I have been poorly for a couple of days - the stress (and consumption of too much Tiger Loaf that Gabby brought with lunch last week) caused an IBS flare-up, and also aching joints. I was knocked completely sideways yesterday and just could NOT stay awake, and I was in bed at 7.30 p.m. and slept for 12 hours. I have taken Ibuprofen today and that has helped, and I know I must just eat my own home-made bread in future. I have a loaf baking as I write this.
Danny and his girlfriend and her little girl are coming for the weekend. First time of meeting his partner and child, so I hope it all goes well. I have been to the charity shops and got a few books suitable to read to 3 yr olds, and a little playhouse and a plush teddy to cuddle.
Now I need to go and make simple non-challenging (for the digestive system) food for tea - a Cottage Pie should do the trick.
