A thunderstorm has arrived after all. Pretty, not overly thundery.

There is a light sprinkle of rain falling. Today's storms have been a bust.

Training video, without edits of Maude's hypoglycemia detection work. This includes her offering the wrong behaviours, as well. She only touches her face to mine if my blood sugar is below 4 mmol/l (like it was in this video).

The internet said I needed to split the Dragon Fruit Cactus up to get it to flower. Should only take a few years?

The bonsai is growing wild, and the chives look as good as they taste.

I have a butane lighter I cannot properly refill. Is there a trick not listed on the instructions (which are the same for the lighter and the refill can, turn upside down and press into upsidedown lighter). It only fills two three uses at a time?

Maude refuses to jump up onto couches. So climbed her way up to a pillow near the bed.

Maude did a bit better than last time, in her first run, and actually accumulated points in Snooker, before we ran out of time. She was a crowd favourite outside the ring, and got to meet a few new friends. The fan and wetcoat kept her cool. Her not wanting to run, wasn't a heat thing.
