Faffing with Storks

I said I would not use "The November Roses" again but sorry here are the stems and spent heads as today has not really gone to plan.
Athos came in this morning on three legs and was very reluctant to let me look at it to the point of raking my hand with his good forepaw and drawing blood. So a trip to the vets post dog walk, upon our return two injection and  £70 poorer he is sound a sleep in Badgers bed and pretty much sound. Have to monitor him for 48hrs.
I did get an outside tap repaired post thaw leak, and half another apple tree spur pruned. I am shortly off to put tea in the oven,  think I am back fairly up to date.
