Le Scandal of vet fees

I knew it was too good to be true. Having checked my holiday leave entitlement, HR had fudged up the numbers and I was now in minus figures with the Glastonbury week off and proposed week off for DIY. Instead I have three days off to do the laminate flooring and prepare the new extended room for next week's visitors. Glastonbury has also been cut short of it's recovery period

The local B & Q and Jewson store's' profits must have jumped this month with me buying all sorts of tools and materials. By the end of the day we'd leveled off the front room floor to match the dining room floor height plus a hatch cut out ready for the electrician to change the socket.

Sasha, my adopted cat was taken to the vet for another whoppingly high bill. Pure little geezer had been squeezing out blooded poos which meant a blood test, injection, pills and poo analysis. £172 later the vet announced that the blood test revealed a clean bill of health, surprising for an old man like him. The stool sampling isn't that pleasant.

The evening's entertainment was Le Scandal at the Brighton Fringe. It was a burlesque variety show which was okay overall. The houseband did cover versions with assistance from the crowd who'd been equipped with free kazoos (although we missed that freebie). Some of the acts were hilarious including the two pictured - a forbidden love affair of a girl and her hate-monkey. The escapologist was intriguing being hung upside down then doing maths magic. The juggler was funny but maybe the wrong the reasons with the crowd seriously heckling for requests to strip.
