Dunedin: The cats getting done and the weather being weird

On the 31st January our kitties were taken to the vets again to be neutered and spayed. They were not allowed to eat a meal the night before, however they were able to be taken home the same day. After that they acted normal. Hermione had a lump on her belly as a reaction to the stitches, but its become flat again since then. Both never sulked and are just the same as they always were.

The 31st just so happened to be the hottest day of the year. It reached 31ºC today at work.

We have been buying decent ice cream tubs recently. Passionfruit and mango is one of them, chocolate orange with chocolate chips is another, and finally we have had Goodie Gum Drops, which is a turquoise bubblegum tasting ice cream with real soft gummy sweets in it. That and the Boysenberry flavour make for really interesting choices to buy.

1st Feb, Thursday-
Even though it was the hottest day yesterday, today it rained like crazy, all day. Relentless sheet rain. It even started getting into the house from a screw the connects the chimney pipe to the ceiling. I used a bucket to collect the water before leaving for work. luckily the bucket didn't collect too much! Also, it dropped 10 degrees. The contrast made it seem really cold!
I text the landlady about the water getting in, and on the 8th Both her and her husband came along to fix the sealant on the chimney. That was a dry day again so the new stuff could dry properly. Hopefully the rain doesn't get through now!
