Thursday 4th January
Got back from the vets yesterday to find the doors unlockable - still don't know how Karen managed that. In the end I just kicked the front door in. Unfortunately, the momentum of my final kick send me flying into the wall to the left of the door, and I split my forehead a bit. Produced a fair bit of blood. Was eventually persuaded to go to casualty, where they glued me back together again.
One more thing - my dog is having her eyes cleared up a bit on Friday. She has inward-growing eyelashes and a wart on her eyelid, both of which give her grief constantly. So they're going to sort it out. Unfortunately, that means anaesthetising her, which is very dangerous with bulldogs - so my dog may die on Friday.
