Kitty Update
The funny part here is that before Lorenzo could take her home from the vet yesterday, they had to re-disinfect her and my (slightly sentitive to gooy stuff) husband almost fainted holding the unhappy cat down on the table. Bless them!

Ze Cat is ill
It turned out she had 40 in fever and had an infection of some sort around the tail/bum. He couldn't tell before she was sedated and he could touch her without causing pain. I felt guilty for not having noticed she had such a high fever but her nose and ears have been just the right temperature the last few days. The vet calmed me down saying that in some cases that 'trick' doesn't work and the nose stays cold and wet regardless of a fever or not.
When I left the clinic I heard her mewing loudly, something she never does either. It was hard to leave her there but hopefully when I pick her up later this afternoon Dr. Vet would have figured out the why's and how to cure her.

I Jinxed It!

In march I told L : Look the allergy hasn't bothered me this year! Maybe it has gone again??!
Fat chance!
The spring was just a bit later this year and this is the third week where my nose is itching, eyes are sore and just to make it more fun it is even causing a bonchitis. Though I'm still crossing my fingers that I'm wrong, the signs are the same as every other time. Slight sore throat, dry discomfort causing a minor cough and then it keeps on moving down to my lungs and becomes a lot nastier...
Despite my allergies I do love the spring. Yesterday evening I was out walking and took these photos. It's simply the best time of the year when nature comes back to life and there are flowers everywhere.

Connection!
It really made my day!
I've met her many times of course but she's always been the girlfriend of L's friend. And most often they remain just that - someone's girlfriend. I hate it when some people expect you to get along with someone's wife or girlfriend because your husband is a friend/colleague with the other part of the couple. Attraction and connection is not automatic...
In this case though, our friendship have grown over many years and quite a few parties. Even when we lived in Milan I didn't have much contact with her but we always had a great time together those few times we met.
