We went darker in one of the newly finished shower rooms though, choosing deep chocolatey-brown mosaic tiles with copper highlights, to complement our Liberty mirror and A&C wall cabinet.

Photos? I'm nosey! It definitely sounds interesting.

We went with very light stuff in our bathroom as it's NE window so a bit dim a lot of the time (especially winter daytime and if there's clouds!).

Our tiny downstairs shower room we went for slate coloured vinyl flooring with silver streaks and splatters pattern (runs through from the utility room) but everything else white. Just a triple line of glass mosaic tiles running round the room in black, 2 shades of green, and red - just to add a bit of colour, we have red blind that matches the red mosaic tiles, and use red towels in there too. Tiny window that doesn't get much light (on side of house so looks out on a fence) plus a bit more light as we have frosted glass panels on the door into utility to try maximise natural light. But dark floor since we knew we had the GrandTwins on the way when getting it sorted, glad as since then yet another GrandSon! Once they get a bit bigger suspect there will be plenty of mud in there!!! :rotfl:

She's....ok. Up and down. She chose to come over the field with me this afternoon, and DH took all of them on a bit of a trek yesterday. (Bit much for her really).

She's gone back on the post op opiates, but just on a low dose, I'm trying once every second day rather than twice a day, but will up if I think its worth trying.


Her scar is really doing excellently, though. Good, neat surgeon and a brilliantly neat result on a wound that when all said and done is half a foot ish long, no tiddler.


I cannot imagine any people being as resilient tbh.

i sadly have to have my cat, pumpkin pie , PTS soon.. im hanging on but she is now officially doolally ! i think she's had a stroke or something ? she is as fit as a fiddle body wise but not sure if hearing/sight is off... she doesnt know what she wants to do.. feed her and then she sits howling as if she's forgotten she's eaten. and this can be all night !! if i shut her in my bedroom with me at night, she's silent ?? its as if she doesnt know where she is. im going to get vets opinion then decide. she is 17 but looks 7. shes a solid healthy cat otherwise, nevr been to a vet in her life. i had her mom and moms mom , both lived to 17/18.
feel guilty tho.....

She'd panic and she wouldn't fit through doors. .


She's only really looked at it a couple of times and I asked her not too and she looked a bit cross but left it alone. Dog dog went through both broken legs with no lampshade too, she too had a look and I told her no and she asked me if she could a few times and I just held her and stroked her and wished I could explain why not and she didn't mither either. My main problem with her was keeping her still and slow.



Poor dog . I hope he's ok.

He would fit through doors; if he could wait until they were opened or free from human blockages.

We did have the dang thing off most of Christmas as long as he was supervised. Unfortunately there was a wound infection and we really did not want that opening up when there were no vets around.

Back as ever to determined ball chasing just not so good when thrown on the blind side. Sense of smell wholly functional however; would make a good sniffer.

And he avoids that part of the garden now.
