First thing, and last thing.*

Poor Lottie had an early start this morning as she had to be at the vet for 8.45, which meant leaving home at 8am. 
Unfortunately, the windscreen was thick with ice, which took ages to de-ice, and then the 3 miles to the main road were pretty slithery, so that slowed us down a bit too. Anyway, we got there just about on time and her hernia repair operation went ahead. I drove back in at 3pm to collect a very sleepy little bundle. She's slept all evening and I carried her upstairs to bed tonight. Hopefully she'll be a bit more like herself tomorrow. Poor wee mite!
