Worried ancient spa visitor

My budgie Robbie is very concerned about his partner Stasi as I write this, poor Staschen is bedraggled, has a preening gland issue, was at vets long before already, and frankly, well, hope she improves. It's been almost 10 years and Stasi was always the more clever and adventurous. Am playing them music, a mix between classical and modern, Robbie is very fond of Iron Maiden, so maybe that afterward. 

January is almost done, am another year older. Just back from the Pitlochry Hydro Hotel, it won't be my last as we enjoyed it there. In fact BP will go alone again in a couple of weeks. The pool/sauna area was good and having the room next to it was handy, wouldn't rave about the pubs in the town however, the best beers were in bottles in  the hotel bar. 

Still a bit of a slob, but made my steps target yesterday. I started my runs also, after a couple of months off, the muscle pain afterward means that at least a weekly run from now on will have to be undertaken. Actually managed only 2 runs-last Monday and Thursday, the usual Kissing Trees into Kirkcaldy route, will maybe do same tomorrow if not too hungover. 

Last month had applied for a job at a vet place up near ice rink in Kirkcaldy, I eventually withdrew application after 3 weeks. I then got message that they would like to see me anyway, went in and had a chit-chat. Was offered a job starting asap, but I needed time to think. Looking back on the ad I saw the hourly rate was shite, so e-mailed saying I would be prepared to start but not at a school-leaver money level. No reply so fuck them. You have to know your self worth.

My dad's health is concerning also this month, I don't want to write too much here though. 

The sounds of Robbie and Bronski Beat in my ears, I bid you farewell until the next time.

I also walked my sister's three dogs a couple of times.

Unfortuately they never posed to be all in one picture together, poor Shadow did a ligament in, will be out of action a few weeks, poor wee thing.
