Bits and Bobs...

One of those days today when you seem to do bits of everything. Started late mind you because we were late going to bed. We normally go to bed about twelvish and read for a bit, and usually little Rusty comes and just sits on the bed between us but last night she didn't appear. Because we were still thinking of when she went missing five years ago we began to be a bit concerned. So the ever gallant VT got up to look for her. He came back after a bit and said there was no sign so he went to look again. By this time his tea was cold so he wasn't a happy bunny and went to make another mug. Returned to say he had looked again and she was under the bed in jane's room just looking up at him!!! Naughty little girlI think she was having a game! So, in the end it was well after one when we put the lights out, consequently we slept in this morning.Doesn't matter though.
First thing I did was a huge pile of ironing this morning, all of the bedding which needs a lot of ironing because it is the Egyptian cotton type and creases terribly in the wash. Gorgeous to sleep on though.
VT was out and about doing bits in the garden and he met the sister of our neighbour who has recently died. She was talking about him a lot, it seems that the hospitals that were dealing with him hereweren't up to scratch, she is a nurse so knows what goes on. We think that our neighbour has gone back to work since the little ginger girl has been out all day, maybe that will help her a bit.It must be so difficult for her.
Pancake day today..already, seems only a short time since Christmas. Not sure whether we will have any tonight, we don't generally tend to have puddings, except very rarely after a pasty or for a special occasion. Apparently prince William and Kate Middleton have been tossing pancakes in the middle of Belfast this morning. Good for them they seem a really down to earth couple.not like his Dad anyway!!
Jane rang up at lunchtime, she got her letter with her birth certificate in, that was only posted yesterday lunchtime with a first class stamp, so that's fair enough. She was going to the University to get her hair cut, it's much cheaper there. hope she gets the fringe out of her eyes!!
Tonight we are having:
Not exactly sure today.
I have a couple of nice pies in the freezer, or some cherry tomato tarts i shall see what VT fancies. Fill it in tomorrow.
