Frazzled & sore paws

It seems the weather on Saturday was better than I thought, by the time we got home I was burnt to a crisp - you can never find the After Sun Cream when you need it.
The other news is poor Mishka's got sore feet; we noticed he was licking one of his paws on Friday evening, but we thought he might just have scratched it, he wasn't limping or complaining when we touched it. By Saturday evening the little fella had has paw pretty much permanently stuffed in his gob, I'm sure the 5 miles he must have walked that day didn't help!
Anyway, Olga got him an appointment this lunchtime at the vet's, and he's had two injections to bring the swelling down and hopefully kill the infection he got, it's likely he was bitten by a tick or some other nasty little thing. It's his birthday on Thursday, hopefully he'll be OK to celebrate with a beer as he'll just have finished his antibiotics by then!
I managed to finish the cricket season yesterday by biffing 58 for our friend Sahan's "Sloggers" team, which feels better than finishing it on a 2-ball duck last week. The kit will now be washed and hidden away until the morning of the first match of next season!
