Three cats and one dog to the vet today. Two spayed - I left them overnight at the vet's to recover under supervision. One neutered - he came home and is a very unhappy little man.

The mysteries of the Great Chinese Firewall continue to deepen. While I can get LJ from the Hangzhou Landisson, the Nanjing Sofitel is unable to connect to it, and V's laptop doesn't have Firefox installed. (I'm using Firefox with Tor to get through now, as I always do when home ( Read more... )

Why did I decide to have a blessing on our marriage in February in the UK? It's more stress, it's more money we don't have. I don't have a florist, or a photographer, or anything.
