Sad Day

Unfortunately Tess was very ill this morning and sadly we have lost her. The parvo-virus test was negative so the vets think it could have been corona virus which is a derivative of the SARS virus. We know the vets tried their best for her and they were upset that they couldn't make her better too.
At least Millie is doing well. She is eating now, putting on weight and full off mischief. Back to the vets on Friday to just check that she continues to progress well.

The architect arrived with the amended plans today. All the alterations we asked for have been done, the next hurdle will be if the council allow us to pull down the existing house and build a new one.

Geoff has finally got hold of the water consultant and will be having a meeting with him tomorrow to explore the options of using the existing well as there is no mains water supply available. We did make enquiries with the water board and were quoted £37,000 as the nearest mains was a little way off. Hopefully we can be self sufficient.

Alistair has had a frustrating day as his pick up truck went in for repair and the courtesy vehicle did not materialise. They maintained that he couldn't have one because he is under 21. After several heated phone calls he finally got some joy and a vehicle arrived this evening.
