i have to admit

I have to admit that on beautiful clear sunny days like today it is much easier to manage 11+ a day. And, on such days, I have more energy. Maybe these vegetarians know something?

Over at the palazzo I have started on the last hurdle. Forgot to photograph the before state, so you'll just have to believe that I am making progress with it.

Pickle (Piccolina) is waiting for me at the vets, minus all her reproductive parts. She was wonderful in the car, in the waiting room, on the operating table. Another couple of hours and she will be home again. Tonight the fire will be just for her benefit.

Today I am grateful for competent and pleasant professional people.
