What a Lovely Day...Not...

It's a grey day today really, nothing much doing, and not a lot of traffic in front. No reason, it isn't raining or snowing or anything, just one of those dull January days. happens to be the 11.1.11 today too.
Got a nice card form John and Ann in Australia with some of their family photographs. They have a beautiful family of grandchildren and children..lovely looking kids.VT said he will scan some of them in so I will post them when he does.
They had received their Christmas parcel anyway, and were enjoying watching the Downton Abbey DVD that we sent. There was a picture of the Rudolph that we sent, sitting next to the snowman from last year, and Ann said that the poodle was n her best bag now. So they seemed a success.
I spent a lovely morning ironing!!!! there was a huge pile of bedlinen on the chair staring at me,so I did that. there was all the Christmas linen too, it's a shame it is only used once a year..mind you it will last for ever at that rate.
VT came in from outside with a parcel it was a bottle of champagne for Graham two doors dowwn, wonder what he is celebrating? he had been in the front garden trimming a few shrubs, and the delivery man caught him. Little ginger girl from next door did too, she came running up to him and wanted to be let in..must be a bit cold for her.
Janice from next door called for grahams parcel, and she was telling him about her ginger Tom. He has had a big operation on his face which was gangrenous..poor old Tom. So he has to stay indoors and wear a big collar, she said he isn't happy at all. No wonder. It's a real little community of cats along here. When VT was in the front garden he said the little ginger girl was growling..he said what are you growling at, and a little black and white face appears in the hedge..that's another one, from down the road a bit, and comes visiting.
Tonight we are having:
Escalope of some sort,
Mixed vegetables with a sauce of some sort,
Little baked potatoes.
