Up The Farway Tree

Catch Up!

With the 30 day challenge I didn't really post anything about what I have been up to!

The CF and Body Image booklets are about to undergo a 1500 copy print run, with copies then being distributed to CF units in the UK.  I think there has been some early interest from the units so it looks very encouraging.  I will still like to do some formal research around the eating disorder and CF topic but have very little time at work to fit in research.  Hopefully once I no longer have to cover the other resource centre, I will be able to free up a little time and look into this more.

I have also been asked to speak to 4th years at George Eliot private school in Edinburgh about organ donation.  Apparently the government has been encouraging schools over the past few years to include this in the curriculum.  I don't think it has been widely taken on, but there are specific resources designed for this purpose and George Eliot have been running it for a few years now.  I am really just going to talk about my experiences to give organ donation a human face - should be interesting!

We have still been working away on house things, slowly but surely.   We have finished painting the living room and finally that room is complete.  We are still hardly sitting in it though because using the extension all the time!  It does save tidying the rest of the house though...

I will leave you with some amusing Seb photos, to demonstrate that he has been up to his usual carry on:

Dragged Andrew's bag from the hallway in bid for attention.  When he was ignored, just lay down on rug as if just home from a hard day at the office

He was in that basket and I told him to go to his bed in the hall - where he stays when I am at work.  I thought he had gone and then realised he had just climbed into the DVD unit instead!

Ordered a new dining table - that's it in the box ready to be built.  Seb thinks it's a platform for him to view the garden from.

Next, Seb inspects the new chairs.  He doesn't look too sure though...

I was trying to take all the pieces out the box - Seb sees this as an invite to get in the box

Andrew trying to screw the table top in place - Seb getting in the way and licking his nose!

Seb looks pleased with himself.  Andrew - not so much!

This was really weird story.  Seb had eaten most of his dinner when he lifted one piece of dry dog food and brought it into the middle of the room, where he carefully placed it down.  He then turned round and saw Andrew's bag propped against that chair.  So with one deft paw swipe, he pushed the bag over and then carefully placed the small piece of dry dog food on top (tiny dot on left front corner).   He then returned to his bowl and ate the rest of his dinner and just left that one piece sitting on the bag all night.  Now, tell me that's not really weird??!
