A BIG DAY FOR TWO GIRLS

Well... first up for today... is Marley.

She is going to the vet for a SPEY operation.

Yep.  No puppies for her.  Or us.  NONE.

I have finally decided NOT to go down that track again.  I simply do not need the stress that comes with all that.  

It took me ages to finally make up my mind, but now that the decision is made, I feel good about it.

I will be dropping Marley off at the Vet's at around 8.30 this morning, and picking her up again late this afternoon.

Denim is getting 'fixed' as well, but I'm not sure when.  Because she is partly deaf, it's totally the right decision for her.

Next biggie of the day is Brylee going over to Te Awamutu to sit her Restricted Driver's License.
She will be having another driving lesson immediately prior to the test with a really good instructor, so I'm feeling quietly confident she will do well.

I will be having a quiet day in the sewing room working on a baby quilt.  So, I will be keeping myself busy, trying not to think too much about Marley or Brylee!

If it's yet another stinking hot day I will be in the pool later on in the day... that pool is such a godsend, and worth every cent it cost.

ONWARD...

 ABOVE:  And off they go.
This test is going to be extra hard for Brylee, bearing in mind she found out yesterday a few things that she's NOT been taught.  It's thrown her for a loop.
This morning that poor girl couldn't even drink water without vomiting.

I've given her some glucose tablets to take, to try and help her energy levels if nothing else, but I fear her nerves are going to play a bit part in what happens today.

I KNOW she can drive perfectly competently, and with all the saftey necessary to pass... so  GO BRYLEE!

No matter what ... we got ya back.  Love from Griffin and Dad too.

ABOVE:  I've been busy this morning.... getting heaps done on this little cot quilt... I've not used a panel for a cot quilt before... it's quite interesting.  I know I am going to do more than what most would do with a panel though... I can't 'just' stitch around the lines!  *smiles*

BRYLEE IS HOME.

AND ....  after all our fears, and all her nerves and vomiting and stressing:

SHE PASSED HER RESTRICTED

DRIVERS LICENSE!!!

I DON'T HAVE TO BE HER TAXI EVER AGAIN.

I'm thrilled to bits for her.  

And she's... STARVING.   So, she's now having her breakfast and lunch mid-afternoon.

And I am off to pick up Marley from the Vets. Apparently her operation went well and she's ready to come home.

5.10 pm:  just out of the shower after a lovely refreshing swim in the pool with Brylee.  OMG it is so hot again today!  Heatwave?  Yep for sure.
When I got out of the car at the Vets to pick up Marley I almost died!
The heat coming up off the asphalt was astronomical.  Reminded me of the heat in Singapore... unbearable.

We are going out to the local Indian Restaurant for dinner tonight by way of celebration, and well... it's just too hot to cook.


Dinner out was lovely, nice food as per usual at Hello India here in Cambridge.
Everyone is tired, it's the heat dragging everyone down.
Signing off for the day.  Catch ya tomorrow.
