Since we are up and early tomorrow for an appointment at Aintree at 9.30 we decided to stay in today.
I had a lovely shower this morning , quite a palaver trying to cope with the Limbo on my foot,the foot is makes it all very slippy, but Vin is great I really don't know what I would do without him Bless him.
He is trying to get us moving today so we can get to bed a bit earlier in order to get up in the morning. Not really good at getting up early but we will have to bite the bullet tomorrow.
All in all we have not done much today, at least I haven't Vin does his usual hardworking tasks. He's never still!
Little Jess hasn't moved much today stayed in her basket most of the day, just getting up at some ungodly hour this morning to wake Vin up for feeding time!
Well that's a first! I was sitting on the sofa after we had had our lunch and little Jessie jumped up on the footstool opposite me. Then she very tentatively went on my knee. Only for a moment mind you, I stroked her and she sniffed my hand and went. That has only taken four months!
Mostly she won't come near me, and prefers her Daddy.
I had one appointment today over the way at the surgery with the nursie. At least it was only a few minutes away, and it was empty when I got there so didn't need to wait long. Nice friendly nurse who seemed quite happy with my progress, height, weight, bloodtests all done at Aintree last week so didn't need doing again. Diabetic results fine, as is blood pressure, so we were out in about half an hour in total. Home to soup and a round of toast because it is a grey rainy day today. The weather forecast people were right they said it would be a cloudy grey and drizzly day and so it is.
I love this picture of the two of them Jane and Jess. She (Jess) is quite used to her really,didn't run away when she came home at the weekend.
It was a nice surprise to see our Jane on Saturday morning! She came quite early, the doorbell went and Vin jumped up in his pyjamas, muttering about me and my parcels, then came back upstairs. I said what was that? and he replied ..nothing! Then Jane appeared in the doorway with a beautiful bunch of flowers and a card. Lovely to see her, it is a while since she has been home. I think she wanted to see Jess really, who did disappear under her bed upstairs but soon came out actually. I think she is used to Jane now.
This little monkey has been playing with a really old catnip mouse that we bought years ago from Culpepers in Bath. She really gave that a good licking, and it must be years old! It's like a catty cannabis!
Since we didn't have any apointments today we had a day in. I have one tomorrow and should have had one at the dressings clinic on Friday but I got a phone call from Aintree Hospital this morning from someone connected to Mr Butcher and making an appointment for 9.30. Bit early for me but never mind. :( Vin rang up and cancelled the one at the dressings clinic, since the foot will be dressed at Aintree anyway.
Vin did all sorts od bits and bobs today including carrying a very hot bundle of ashes in paper.
Fast asleep in her basket nw. Probably got a catnip head! Vin said she will get the munchies later!!
What a treat! Out and about without an appointment. Vin had said we would go somewhere today but wasn't sure where. In the end because he needed to get a few things from his shopping list we decided on Tesco and the Costa. It is actually seven weeks since we had been there which is longer than I thought. Doesn't time fly!
Parkinjg not too bad, petrol station bit was closed, but he had filled up in Aintree anyway so didn't need any. They seem to be putting new pumps in by the looks of things.
Went straight into Costa and got a nice table in the corner which we like and Vin went off to get two flat whites. They do a really nice one which we like because our machine at home doesn't do those. They do a lovely fern pattern on the tops too, I would love to know how they do that! He bought them out of our "winnings" this is money that we get through little lottery winnings or other bits and pieces that come our way.
He went off to get the shopping bits because he is quick, and left me with the boring Liverpool Echo to read. Back soon and went home to the little cat who hadn't moved from from where she was in the front room. Asleep in a nice little sunny spot.
Jane has just rung on her way home from work, she sid that the authorities have arrested a man from West Didsbury where she lives, she knows the road but it isn't near her at all thank goodness. This is to do with the terrorist attack in London so they are making moves to get people.
Jessie in feeding mode. She woke her Daddy up this mrning at half past six this morning! When the clocks go forward this weekend I wonder what time she will be getting him up.?
We all stayed in today, even little Jessie. Not that she goes out much anyway. She will follow her beloved Vin if he is going in the garden but this morning he was doing some bits and bobs in the garden and she happened to be asleep on Jane's bed so didn't hear him go out I suppose. She actually stayed there till we had our lunch so had a good sleep today.
Terrible tragic happenings in London yesterday. The papers are full of what went on, the Daily Mail has about ten pages of it all. Suppose that is because it is The Houses of Parliament that was involved. Quite a few injuries to pedestrians on Westminster Bridge, and all the evening programmes telling of what was happening almost frame by frame.
Quite nice today, a touch of Spring, not that our daffodils in the barrel are doing anything special
Little Jess will be unlucky today if she is after a blob of cream from her daddy's plate like yesterday because there isn't any left!!
In the alcove, waiting for her feed!
Up and at em this morning, at least we should have been but Vin slept in a bit. The reason for that was that little Jessie did her alarm waking up bit and crawled about his legs till he got up!. This was VERY early so he had to get up and feed her. Hence when he went back to bed he slept in a bit. Can't blame him really. :) Of course I don't get woken up because I don't hear anything.Oh dear, what a shame.
Since my appointment was for 1.30 today instead of 2.30 we had to get going a bit differently, had breakfast as usual, then Vin did his clearing up and got the bin round again, and I had a nice hair wash. At least my hair feels a lot better for having had it cut. Then we had a lovely baby coffee and a biscuit to put us on and went upstairs to get ready. Out and at Aintree by 1.15, Vin leaves me in the waiting area and goes and parks the car. Had to wait a bit today apparently they were extremely busy, "one of those days" the girl who did my foot said. She was very quick and efficient and we were out and off to the Co-Op for our lunch, all prepared by Vin's fair hands! Isn't he a star!
Home to news on the television of a shooting at The Houses of Parliament, so that has overtaken everything on the box. I don't think little Jess has moved at all since we left! Just fast asleep in her basket.
Jess in her basket..All's well with the world :)
No appointments today so decided to stop in instead. Podiatry tomorrow so will go out then anyway. Did a bit of browsing on the computer, looking for a reading light for my Kindle but haven't found a suitable one yet. You think you find one and then discover it has terrible reviews or too heavy etc., Somewhere there must be a perfect light somewhere surely?
Vin has done a lot of sorting out today, it's the grey bin tomorrow so aiming to get rid of rubbish.
Little Jess has been lovely aqnd relaxed today and didn't run off when the doorbell rang either. She normally disappears when that goes and hides under the bed till she feels it is safe again.
Getting comfy!
