Inconvenient Annoyances

  I agree with you all that he's not joking and I'd be terrified to even be alone in the house with him.

I think he's joking.
Or attempting to make a really poor joke.  But he can't have been serious...can he?

My IA is dangerous behaviour from my FIL. (I hope I'm not being unreasonable)

You're not being unreasonable. I wouldn't leave my kids with that clown, either. I hope you're out of there soon.

Missing a few episodes of the Handmaid's Tale on 4's catch-up app....I went to get caught up as I am only ready to watch episode 4 and now can't get it...the struggle is real!

Oh no!  I hate that they only keep them for four weeks, or whatever.  You can't save up the whole series and binge it.  Although, with this particular show, I don't think I could survive binging the whole series at once without getting PTSD.  It's kinda intense.

They must be on a website somewhere...  or VPN on Hulu?

Sean the cat (Sean as in Connery) has been bitten on the bum.  This probably means a trip to the vet (they are closed right now so will call them first thing tomorrow).  But Hubby is not here and I don't drive. 

Last time I took one of the cats to the vet (actually it was Sean and he had been bitten on the bum!) I didn't realise that taxi drivers were not too keen on animals in their taxis so didn't mention it when I rang for a taxi.  When he came the taxi driver wanted Sean to travel in the boot.  Sean was in a carrier and no way was I putting him in the boot and the driver took me.

But the challenge was bringing him home.  The receptionist at the vets rang for a taxi for me and explained  I would be travelling with a cat in a carrier.  No taxi would take us.  Sean is a ginger tom, not a lion, so I had no idea what the problem was.  The receptionist ignored my request not to mention the cat to the taxi firm (I thought I could argue it out with them when they arrived) and in the end the vet took me home when she had a break.

So, Sean is still eating - which is a good sign.  Fingers crossed that he doesn't need to go.

Ouch, poor Sean.   Is he an outdoor boy or was it one of yours that did the biting?

One of ours (it was Leo, despite him pretending it wasn't him and that he is a good boy) who bit him.

The garden is enclosed so they can't leave and no other cat can come in.

I am hoping that he will be fine.  He is still bright and eating so that is a good sign.

But why does this happen while hubby is away?

Really hope you get a sensible taxi driver tomorrow. Good luck!

If you see a mad woman on TV tomorrow who has had a fight with a taxi driver and she is now locked in the boot of the taxi, with a meowing cat with  sore bum - you will know it is me.

Ohh no! I hope its not that bad. We had a van taxi when moving our kitty, that way it was open to the "boot" but the driver was OK with her not being in the sitting area.

So puking in a taxi is okay but a cat in a carrier is not?  Sometimes this place is mind boggling!

I really don't want to pay for Hulu for one show though Don't need a VPN to access Hulu, you just need to get a subscription.

You're a strong woman - you can binge.

Good luck sleeping afterwards!

You can do a one-month trial for free.  But, like Netflix, without a VPN, you get a different selection here to the US.

Errrrrmmmmm... I think this is frowned upon, generally. 

I do think the refusal to take a cat in a carrier is utterly ridiculous, though... what is the reason they give for that?
I remember the bad old days in London before I had a car, I went to the vets to pick up my greyhound who had just been castrated and was still a bit wobbly from the anaesthetic.  On the way back, with the dog, I couldn't get a taxi to take me, and 3 or 4 buses refused to let us on as well.    OK, I understand... big dog, etc.. but could nobody see we were struggling?  I finally managed to get on a bus with him, but it took ages, and in the pissing rain in the dead of winter, it wasn't fun.

After that nightmare, I decided fck this, I'm getting a car!
