Hmmm. Apparently the lead test swabs we are using may be false positived by lime and whitewash. (High ph)
...and a quick check is to dip in lemon juice, if it corrects, you are good.
I got one section i know 100% is lead (upper laundry cupboard) for a control , and a garage full of uncertainly lead painted render. Gonna get my science pants on tomorry
A rather large huntsman has moved into my lounge room. Probably a good thing, I've seen a few people complaining about a lot of white tails around at the moment.
I'm feeling a bit flat today after night shift. I think I need an emergency pudding. With custard.
Do it.
Pudding is in the oven now.
Pudding is now out of oven and in stomach. 10/10 would eat again.

The black cat finally came back so I brought out the wet food Melbcat refused to touch plus some dry food. I was able to give him the spot on with no problems.
A bit worried about Melbcat though. She's still nibbling her dry food and will have one or two treats but isn't that interested in wet. She's off resting in the other room.
Edit: Both critters have been treated now. She's at the door screaming about the birds or possibly smells the other cat.
Edit 2: Oh shit there was a bald spot on the top of his head. I hope it isn't ringworm. I feed him from disposable paper bowls, have been really good on hand hygiene, and always take a full shower and wash my clothes after handling him to avoid bringing any sickness in to my own cat. But I hope I haven't tracked anything in at the carpeted entrance. I wonder if I still have that mini black light.
