A morning of tending the poorly puppy and listening to the gas engineer breathe new life into the boiler after a month sitting idle. (I was going to say the boiler, not the engineer, but frankly I'm not convinced it might not be both)

Around mid afternoon,  having fulfilled my domestic obligations (but missed Alex's dentist appointment  -ffs) I took Loki home.

He's currently being referred to as Lazarus (yip,  he's fine now) and at least I was quick enough to snap a trolley on the bus ride taking him home.
