(Belated) Happy New Year!

The new year is going well so far! I have heard back from the Royal Vet College and I have an interview at the end of the month :D I’m pretty nervous (actually really super nervous) but I’m hoping I can at least do ok and not embarrass myself. An offer afterwards would be amazing but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much!

I had a call from St Tiggywinkles this morning to go on my first proper rescue for a goose that is caught in some fishing line. Unfortunately the goose flew off before I arrived; the people who called it in had been feeding it bread to make it stay nearby but it eventually decided it had had enough! If it returns I might go out in the morning to try again. Fingers crossed he will be caught safely and make it to the wildlife hospital. 

I have finished my job at Past Times which was sad but at least now I have time to concentrate on exam revision and interview preparation. On the closing day for the last half an hour or so everything was reduced to £1 :o so I got a few bargains including this book which has some amaaazing photos, and a few gifts for people which I won’t mention because I haven’t given them to them yet (and I probably shouldn’t have said that because now they will know they only cost £1!). 

In other news, Charlie the cat is in disgrace after the theft of a joint of beef bigger than his head that was intended for next day's dinner. It was stolen from the kitchen counter and chewed to a mushy pulp within seconds. He maintains his innocence...

The accused

Bye for now!

What I have been doing instead of revision...

It's been quite a while since I last updated. Oops! But since Kirsty is the only person who reads this I think I am safe, lol.
Anyway, I haven't updated because I haven't had anything to update about. Most of my time has been taken up with revision for the last ever exams of my zoology degree. Aaah! And the rest of my time has been taken up with procrastination from revision.

Knitting is pretty good for procrastination. A lot of my revision time recently has been taken up with knitting this guy:And look! His friend the white rabbit is in the background :) The rabbit will have some clothes knitted at some point but I left all my coloured wool at home so he will have to wait. He is going to be sold to raise money for a rescue I volunteer at. I have also made a grey bunny with the same pattern but she is in bits at the moment so no pictures, lol.

The pattern I used is from here. It's the same pattern I used to make the bunny in one of my earlier knitting posts. He looked a bit different because he had button eyes. I have since bought some safety eyes and I think they look much better!

I hope that's enough of an update for now! I really should get back to learning about parasites and immunological mechanisms, although I fear it will make my head explode :(

Bye for now!
