it is indeed a white outlook today. it was snowing steadily this morning and sticking, so it all looks really pretty. Poor little Jane rang up this morning, she had walked to the main road to see if there were buses running. She had heard that the buses were cancelled,but she said that there were quite a few running both ways, along the main road anyway. This left her in a quandary, because she had already had a few days off with no voice, and didn't want to have any more off, but she was worried about getting home when her shift ended at ten tonight. Anyway, she rang up later to say she had made it into work, and would see about a taxi maybe later. She was quite pleased that the firm (Ticketmaster) had given her a ten pound voucher for working late on Christmas Eve. She's a good kid, and works really hard. Little treats keep her going.
VT went out ot the shops this morning, just the local one, and got a few things to keep us going. We have a well stocked freezer, so will not starve.
The little cats haven't ventured out today, we haven't really seen them in the snow, I expect it is a bit of a surprise to them, we can't remember snow here in Hightown for a number of years actually.
We spent the morning taking down the Christmas decorations. It is a mornings work too, going round collecting everything. The house looks really bare now with no lights and trees. We have a tree in each room downstairs, just artificial ones, but they looked pretty this year. We have some lovely decorations now, picked them up from all over, some from America..the craft ones, some from Past Times, and some from places like the National Trust. I tend to buy them in the sales, but haven't got round to them this year. VT would say, it was a good job!
He is working hard putting them all away in the cupboard in our bedroom, probably only be another eight months before they are down again!!
Tonight we aree having:
Pasties from the freezer.
Waitrose vegetable pasties and a bit of gravy to go with.
