New sensations!

As Willow is convinced she is on a constant diet, she relishes the rare treats she gets. Two of her favourites are licking the inside of crisp packets and anything spicey. So you can imagine her joy when she was permitted to lick the inside of a packet of Sensations' Thai sweet chili crisps - especially as they are a large packet.

Annual bath and catch-up

I got the first draft of my dissertation in on time and have got some feedback on it. I have lots to do on the results section, but otherwise I think it's going ok-ish.

I'm actually looking forward to writing the 6000 word review essay! I also have to design a web page based on the tick project, but I quite like learning HTML so I'm looking forward to that too. I feel I may be eating my words soon enough though.

Well, it didn't take her long, but I caught Willow constructing a bed from the laundry:
