Odds and Ends

We have been based up at Rupert and Hugo's house this week while Lindsey and Ian have been in Sydney.

I go down to our place for a few hours in the mornings to keep Brandy and Whiskey company, while Jim stays up at Hill House with the dogs. On Tuesday and Thursday the district nurse comes to our place to help Jim shower so we both headed down the hill for a couple of hours. I also go back to our place late in the afternoon for an hour or so.

Brandy and Whiskey are always curious
when a car turns up, and head
to the nearest window to see
who it is.
This is the window at our front door

It works, although I think that Brandy and Whiskey will be pleased when we go back to sleep at our place, and I know that Rupert and Hugo will be pleased when Lindsey and Ian come back.

Freyja and Simon were in town last weekend and brought with them a water fountain and a cat tunnel that their cat Ghost definitely did not like.  Brandy and Whiskey like them!

As soon as I turn it on, they come trotting over
to play with it

Meanwhile, up on the hill, Rupert and Hugo are being very helpful

Helping to make the bed

The move at work has gone fairly well.  The old space is now boarded up and being prepared for the new business. We are more or less settled into the new place, although there are still things to do.

Our new signage is up out the front

but not yet inside the centre, although our new
reception area is coming together well

We have a presence outside the shopping centre now, and can be clearly seen from inside the centre. Previously we were hidden away at the back of the pharmacy and were quite difficult to find. Also, the previous site was quite dark and had no natural light. The new place is light and bright and some of the consulting rooms actually have windows! And people are noticing us. We're getting a number of people each day wandering in and asking about us.
