So after visiting my friends swanky new house (which really is lovely), I ran home to check how my top coat of resin looked and was pretty dissapointed. They have all went a little bit bumpy, and in a couple of cases it has messed up the overall look as the bumps cast awkward shadows into the pendants. Overall I don’t think it’s an ‘epic fail’ though, just a minor irritant. Next time I think I’ll try the heat gun just after painting the layer to get rid of any pesky tiny bubbles that I don’t see at the time, it certainly seems to work on the layers that I cast.

I have the decision now of leaving them as they are, or trying to sand them down and put another wee coat on them. The perfectionist in me wants them smooth and shiny but the realist in me says it’s never gonna happen. I might try it on the worst one first and see how it goes.

Harry has his vet appointment today. I’m stuck in work so am waiting on a phonecall from W to see how it goes. I’m assuming they will be pretty happy with his progress but keep him on his pain killers for now. He jumped up on the kitchen worktop the other day and has scaled a tree in recent days, a sure fire sign that he’s getting stronger. He had struggled to jump on anything higher than the couch ever since his op.

He never used to mind going to the vets, but he’s not so keen anymore. I think he may have seen it on the calender as this morning he was not in either of his usual places when I woke up, instead he was chilled out in his bed on the couch, paws in the air, dreaming of his ‘happy place’.

Oscar had a pretty low key evening. Must be regaining his strength for more hunting!
