Kaira


Kaira has developed a bad 'hacky' cough. We took her to the vet (Medivet) this morning who gave her a thorough investigation and found nothing really wrong but suggested that it was 'Kennel Cough' but saw no need for any immediate treatment as it would probably only last a week or so. In the meantime, we were advised not to walk her out in public.

Around lunchtime, I edited my article 'An actors life afloat', about the actor Timothy West,who passed away yesterday,and his wife Prunella Scales. I submitted it to 'Waterways World' and 'Canals Online'.

This afternoon/evening, I spent a few hours working on Assignment Four of my course 'Article Writing and Freelance Journalism'. I submitted it around 21:15 and packed in 'working' (apart from this).
