Been a while. Off the computer for some days due to illness, a pesky blockage whichlasted for some time and really wiped me out this time. Up a few days ago and went on the computer for a short while to check things out then downstairs till early bedtime. Wiped out with that.
Out yesterday because I had an appointment at the podiatry clinic, and also had to get a blood test for the renal clinic. Parked on the top floor of the car park and Vin went to geet a chair so he could wheel me to the bloodsuckers. Only one man waiting so went straight in, lovely, one job done. Then down to podiatry where we had quite a wait, but they were short staffed and they are lovely so you can never comlain.
Out of there and a wheel back to the car park. Thank you Vin. Home for a bit of lunch. Been raining all day yesterday horrible day actually.
Today up earlyish, we were having a new Hotpoint tumble drier fitted because ur old one had been one of the ones recalled on government orders. We had a choice of a repair, a refund, a new machine or an upgrade for £99 extra, which we went for. Since we have had the old machine for four years we selected the up grade which ahs just been delivered and fitted. Text to say it was coming and another to say it was in the area, a;; done and dusted within an hour.
In the middle of all that we have had a wedding anniversary, Vin's birthday, Jane's birthday, phew. Just put some moneyinJane's bank for her which no doubt she will squirrel away. Happy birthday sweetheart!
Jessie hasn't missedme at ll. Never been up toseemen bed except when Vin brought her up, but couldn't get off the bed quick enough!
Looks so sweet, but a little minx really!
Monday and Tuesday both in. We don't normally go out on a Monday anyway, but Vin didgo off to Formby this morning. He needed to get a hair cut because it was growing over his collar and getting very long. He hates waiting in a queue so if there is anyone waiting he will go off, and when he rang up he said he'd had it done in Freshfield because there was only one man there and he was going. In the end he got it done really quickly, . He was going off to Tesco to see if they had a lattice pie.
They didn't, but he did get a nice Quorn steak pie for himself. some green beans and a macaroni cheese. Nothing for Jessie, who has been in the front room most of the morning just appearing at lunchtime for a sit on her daddy's knee, her preferred spot. She doesn't seem to use her basket these days, either goes in the front room or on her daddy. She came upstaairs to our bedroom last night, and settled on his front. He was tickling her chin and top of her head when she started to go for him, so he said to me do you want to stroke her? No! but I waited a few minutes and then did and she let me, but not for long.
Nice and sunny now really quite bright in the middle room where the computer is, and it is quite warm now.
Is that my cream cake appearing? Out in the sunshine but keeping an eye on what is going on too!
Today according to the weather people, and to be fair it was dull when we woke up, but I wouldn't exactly say it was very windy like they sid it was going to be yesterdsy. Quite humid and a little bit breezy, but nice and sunny now. It was raining a bit ago but didn't last long.
We had a little visitor today! Vin was playing with Jack in the garden this morning, and he brought him upstairs to see me. he is the sweetest looking little kitty I have seen, his little face is gorgeous, and Vin says he is as light as a feather to carry. He was playing in our garden with a little ball that had a hole in it . Reminded me of our Rusty who just loved doing that and would chase one for ages in the kitchen where we have a tiled floor.
Jessie was hiding somewhere because Vin was vacuuming the carpet upstairs, none of our cats have got on with the vacuum, and they all would scatter when doing that. She didn't see little Jack or I think she would have disappeared.
He's coming for you! No not realy, your Daddy wouldn't do that!
Yesterday was an appointment at the podiatry clinic to red the dressings on my feet. It was an afternoon one so we had our coffee and then got ready to go. Got there in good time, a little bit worried because the receptionist couldn't find me on their computer, but when she went to check it hadn't been entered but was on the podiatry diary so it was ok. Got me a bit concerned though.
Feet quite quickly done and we were home for lunch.
Jane was on an eight to eight day so rang up when she was on her way home. She is on nights tonight so rings up earlier on her way to work. She quite often goes somewhere to get her dinner before she goes in to work.
Today we have stayed in which we tend to do after going for an appointment. Vin did the ironing this morning, and saw the little kittens from next door in our garden. The boy one Jack lay down on our flags looking very laid back. He held our jessie up to the window in the extension, and she hissed like mad he said. What a wuss, the little cat is only tiny and she is about four times bigger! She could eat him for breakfast!
Lovely and sunny again today and quite warm, no wind to speak of. Jessie is in the front room out of the way now. No doubt she will surface when it is cream cake time. Today is the last for the week so no more till Monday!
Any kitties out there? get off my territory!
But thats ok with us, especially with the hectic week we had last week with two appointments. We are out tomorrow at Aintree for a podiatry appointment. It is only at two o'clock so at least we don't have to get up with the larks!
The poor little kittens next door have had a tummy bug of some sort so our neighbour says, she had to take them to the vets and they had a shot of some sort. Poor little kitties hope they recover soon.
Our Jane rang up at coffee time, she was on her way to get some light bulbs. She said that they were too dear in Tesco so she was walking to B&M's because they were cheaper there. Poor girl, she always manages to ring up at coffee time, then she complains when her Daddy says in a loud voice "It's coffee time!" He haates having his coffee disturbed. Too bad, I like chatting to Jane and getting her gossip. She is off till tomorrow then she is n an eight to eight day. Such weird shifts, I couldn't keep up with them.
Lovely day today, nice and sunnywith a bit of a breeze. A good drying day today. Yesterday's washing dried beautifully on the line, which saves a load on the tumble drier. We need to look at tumble driers too by the way since ours is one of the ones that has been recalled, and we can have a new one. We need to look at the types of machines though.
Jessie has been up and about today, she flopped down in the middle room so Vin decided to give her a good brush, she likes being brushed ande will quite happily lie there while he does it. Very good she is too. even turns over when he wnts her to. Well done Jessie!
I'm such a good girl that I deserve some cream cake now?
In the "olden" days my mum always used to do the washing on a Monday, and the whole house used to smell of washing. Steam everywhere and normally washing draped over clothes maidens and anywhere near the fire.the next day would then be ironing and so the week woud go. No tumble drier, no washing machine much and a mangle. "The good old days?" Maybe not.
A lovely day today so the washing was put out on the line to dry which saves the tumble drier for one thing, and the sun will dry them beautifully, as long as it doesn't rain. At the moment it is cracking the flags so it looks fine.
No appointments till Wednesday at the podiatry clinic so we stopped in today. The appointment this week is for 3 o'clock so not too bad this week at all.
Jane rang up just before coffee time on her way to Tesco to do some shopping for bits. She ws going to make a pasta bake so she had some meals to take in to work when she does her nights etc., they lookedreally nice, and she sent a picture of what she had for her dinner, looked lovely with the salad on the side.
No little catty visitors around today yet, he thinks that our neighbour has gone out so has probably locked them inside. The little boy cat seems to be a bit of a naughty boy so is better keeping an eye on him.Jessie hasn't been around much either but did come into the middle room at lunchtime. Flopped on the floor and looked very comfortable.
Good news Jessie, Vin got thelastcream cake in Sainsbury's on Sunday. You are fine for this week so far looking good. Thankyou Daddy!
Up early and off to podiatry at Aintree this morning. Our appointment was for 10.30 but we got going quite quickly so got there about a quarter past. Sat and waited in the foyer area which unusually was fairly quiet. It was the appointment with the doctor which is usually quite a long one so we were prepared for a wait. It was actually about an hour before we went in, and Helena did my feet today. Saw the Dr who thought the foot that Mr Butcher operated on was looking very good which it is considering it was only done a couple of weeks ago. Out by around twevish and we went straight home. It was too late to go for a coffee anywhere so it was better to have one at home.
Jessie of course did not move from her perch in the front room, doesn't come to the door to greet you, she isn't that type of cat really.
Our next ddoor neighbour on one side is having a bit of trouble with her little kittens, the ittle boy one got into our garden last night and she rang Vin up to see if he could get him back over the fence. He went into the garden and was thrilled because he came running to him. He now believes he is some sort of cat whisperer because they do seem to go running to him. This little boy one is a bit mischievous he reckons he has a glint in his eye and is going to be trouble. The little girl one is much quieter. Jessie hasn't had anything to do with them yet, so not sure how she will react.
Please keep off my patch! No cream cake here, not today anyway.
A lovely quiet day today, mainly because we were out yesterday and Tuesday, and are out at the podiatry clinic tomorrow at Aintree, so we decided to stop in today.
The highlight of today was the delivery of supplies from bullens and also a visit from the little boy cat from next door in our garden. Vin was thrilled because he came up to him Really friendly little cat he is (take note Jessie!), they were both out the two of them the boy and the girl, I think our next door neighbour has her hands full with those two.
Not a lot doing online today either, seems that a lot of people are either away or otherwise occupied.
Very nice day today, sunny and with no rain which is good news especially in the North and Yorkshire areas where there have been flash floods over the last week or so with all of the rain we have had. No sign of it today though beautiful day with the sun cracking the flags as they say.
Little Jessie has been mostly out of the way in the front room,she loves it in there with the cool when the3 sun goes round. She surfaced a while ago for a food break, now has gone back again, she will surface again at cream cake time though!
Working up an appetite for my cream cake later!
