Dark mornngs..

It's so dark these mornings that we are tending to oversleep, and the cats aren't moving as they usually do to wake us up either. They are normally very good alarm clocks, but not at the moment. It's cold too, we still have our quilt on the bed, which is terrible really.

We haven't even folded it back this summer yet either! I got a letter this morning from john and Ann in Perth Oz., and they are in the middle of their winter. Odd thing is they are having exactly the same temperatures as perth in Scotland and manchester. Vin was saying one of the Olympic athletes was getting off a plane in London this morning, and said "Are these the Winter Olympics?" can't blame them either. John and Ann were saying that they are having some frosty nights when it is quite cold, and they were tending to snuggle up at night with a fire and a dvd., the last one they watched was The last detective a series that was on our screens a good while ago. They seem to get a lot of our television series. I hope they enjoyed "Call the Midwife" I'm sure they did, it was a really good series. Big day tomorrow, so will need to get going fairly earlyish.John and Ann were asking me if I was doing anything special for my birthday.. well..No, not this year,the NHS had other ideas for that this year. Gynae appointment, Ultrasound appt., breast screening appt., what is going on??? maybe you start to fall apart at this age eh?? Pouring down again here, good job we did the washing yesterday. Did a load of bedding ironing this morning, because I won't be able to do it tomorrow, and don't want to do it on Wednesday, so at least that's out of the way. What an exciting life we lead.... Tonight we are having: Leftover pizza from last night. Really nice it was too. One of Vins best. Egg salad with avocado, Potato salad for moi and florida salad for Vin.
