Is It Springing? & Pancake Day..

Woke up fairly early this morning with the usual catty alarm clocks. Decided to go and get a few more logs from Dobbies, which should see us through the rest of the Winter, if we hopefully don't get any more snow or frost. Gorgeous logs..£9 a bag, but they are kiln dried and really burn beautifully. Vin puts one on the fire and the flames lick up round it like one of the gas fires that you see, but so much nicer.
So we went to Dobbies this morning , there are touches of Spring around, the primroses are in full flower, and the crocuses were very much in evidence at the garden centre. lots of snowdrops around but not really daffodils yet, maybe a couple of weeks.
had a bit of a look round but didn't see anything that I fancied apart frrom a jar of irish goat's cheese in herbs and oil, which will go on our pizza on Sunday. So they didn't make much mney on us today, in fact I had taken a necklace back that was too tight and a bit uncomfortable to wear, so got my money back on that.
Lovely and sunny on the way back, but cold still in the shade.
I have now got a little furry purry on my knee! She stands on my knees and stares at the screen. Maybe she is following the mouse!! So I am trying quite hard to type round her...not easy.
She is jumping up and down a lot today, unlike Bobby who could sleep for cat England! She has had her thyroid tablet too, Vin gave it to her before, he has a knack of giving them to her, and can tell when she has swallowed it or not. Today's one she spat out once then it went down properly. They don't get wasted, if she spits it out it gets put back in at £30+for 100,they are quite expensive. Should be a NHS for cats!
Tonight we are having:
A small quiche with sstilton and cranberry with
a tin of something tomatoey and a potato croquette.
not sure whether we will have a pancake, we don't tend to do puddings except the rice pud on Friday.
