The clematis is in flower!

Shock! Horror! Elvis has fleas!!! Goodness knows where he got them from (do they only come from other dogs?) but it was horrific. (We’d never had this with George and Millie)
Mr F hotfooted it to the vets as soon as they opened and came back with a tablet and a flea/tick collar, and was told the flea shampoos don’t work.
I put Elvis in the shower and shampooed him anyway, then I washed all his bedding and towels, and everything else I could think of.Then I scrubbed the shower room for an hour)
After such a traumatic day I’ve had to open the rosé instead of having an afternoon cup of tea!
