Albert has still not been "discharged" from the vets. Although he is eating and drinking well, the vet nurse is still reporting "excitable and erratic behaviour" from him as he continues his efforts to get rid of his plaster cast.
Hopefully he will be able to come home tomorrow, mind you I have been given strict instructions he is to be nursed in a cage............the vet fears he will gallop around on his three good legs smashing into every wall if left free.......sigh......!
I cannot remember when I watched something on tv that made me literally cry with laughter. Last night I watched Mark Lawson's interview with the actress Maureen Lipman on BBC4 and amid an intelligent and measured discussion, the thoughtful Lipman told a story of how the obsessive film director Roman Polanski prepared his actors for a scene in the holocaust movie The Pianist (2002) Wanting actor Frank Finlay to look a little more shopworn, she wryly recounted how the director used sandpaper and (of all things) a large German sausage to give Finlay's face the "right" look. Lipman's comic timing even when she is telling a dinner party anecdote is right on the money, and I laughed till I almost wet myself.......cracking and thoroughly enjoyable tv

Tomorrow I hope to meet up with Hazel (it's been an age)....I think we are off to see Il y a longtemps que je t'aime (2008) (I have loved you so long) at theatre Clwyd..... it will be nice to get back to normal
Don't Meg & Wm. look just like little angles?I know that Welsh Terrier temperment a bit now,so can just picture the 2 of them shaking in anticipation of a good bird romp.I should be ashamed,but I used to allow Baby Rocket Dog to chase the wild turkey off our property.I'm not talking about 10 or 15, but 60-80 birds...you can imagine the mess they'd leave.They now steer clear of us.After typing this,I am ashamed.:>(
