Little Jessie of course hasn't moved much today but stopped in her basket near her Daddy. He reached over at lunchtime to tickle her tummy very lightly, and she scratched him! Little minx! fancy scratching the hand that feeds her. Not wise!

Really Really Cold Today!
Well we were going to go out today, but Vin went down for the papers and came back to say that it was bitterly cold , take your breath away cold he said so it was a stay in job. I wanted to finish off my Christmas cards anyway and do a few bits on the computer so it was a good chance to do that. Maybe go out tomorrow. He has just come up to say it has started drizzling so it's gone warmer, not to me it isn't I'm always cold!!

Brrrr!
Brrr again! like the other day but colder. Everywhere is snowy but it seems Merseyside at the moment. Trains and planes off and schools closed all over but we carry on. We did have a bit of snowing yesterday but it didn't stick. Just came down and then melted although it was cold, clearly not cold enough for it to stay. Some areas have had it very bad with traffic jams all over and bad hold ups.
We didn't go out today and stayed in getting bits done. Vin printed off my little letter for my Christmas cards which I have now started writing. Each year I say that I will do them earlier, but never get round to it for one reason or another. I do a letter/note on the computer, mainly because my writing is now just terrible, very shaky and scrawly, and even Vin says he can't read it! So the last resort is the latter/note. It says what I would have written anyway.
Little Jessie is at present in the middle of Jane's bed, all curled up and looking very comfy. She doesn't seem to mind the noise in the room, and I always have the t.v. on fairly loud but she doesn't move unless she hears her Daddy around, then she does. In fact she has just jumped down because she heard him.
He tried to get her to go out this morning but she wasn't having any, he says she won't be pushed out but will go out if she wants to. When she did decide to use the cat flap, she sat on the flags outside for a few minutes then came back in again!!!

Brrrr!
Brrr indeed. Definitely cold here today, suppose it is the result of the dreaded storm Caroline that is supposed to be hitting us today. Not that much sign of it yet though it is a bit blowy. A little flurry of sleet this morning and very grey this afternoon, not really a good day to be out at all.
Vin has finished the trees now and everywhere looks great. He has also moved the footstool from the middle room which makes it look a lot tidier too. It will all stay up for at least a month so you do get quite good value from it all. I spent the morning trying to think of things to put into my little Christmas not that goes in the cards each year. At least it saves a lot of writing which is so bad now that I doubt whether anyone could read it!
Our Jane is on an eight to eight long day again today. Hope she isn't too busy and doesn't get too snowed on when she makes her way back to her car. She says it is too expensive to park in the hospital, and if the parking in Aintree is anything to go on she is probably right.
Little Jessie suddenly appeared in Jane's bedroom this morning when I was at the computer and has stayed there since then. No doubt she will come down a bit later thinking we are going to have our cream sponge, but she will be unlucky because it has all gone so she will be unlucky !
Our tree in the extension always ooks nice and so far little Jessie is keeping away from them. There is one little red round apple without its hanging loop though and she has had good fun knocking that around. This morning Vin found it in the hallway!!
We have had her a year now, and I wonder just how much of that time she has spent sleeping?

Poor Sammy R.I.P.
The doorbell went this morning and it was the husband of the lady who owns little Sammy. He was a lovely little black and white cat who has been visiting us for years. He came to our front door to get biscuits, and Vin would always keep a packet of them in our porch to go and feed him. We will really miss little Sammy, he was a beautiful cat, but was terrible for running over the roads, and in the end that caught him, and he was run over. We know what that is like having lost our Tootsie just over a year ago now.
It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas round here at the moment . Vin got our three trees assembled yesterday and today we put the decorations on them. Always love doing that, they do look lovely when they are up and lit and decorated. Some of them we have had for years, one, a little box of tiny wooden angels that I got from Liberty's in London. They were £3.50 and I thought that was a fortune. Of course now it isn't.
Little Jessie is very comfortable in the middle of our Jane's bed. Looks lovely all curled up.
The front of our little house, the tree in the front window and the candle arch above and a wreath on the front door. All set!

It's CHRISTMAS!!
Started to put the Christmas things out. Vin had stowed everything on the bed and ferried it all downstairs. He put the things over the mantlepiece and they look lovely. One of the best things about Christmas for me actually.
I love all these things, most of them came from our trips to America. They do such pretty decorations there. Many from craft fairs and stalls.
Also a huge parcel arrived from Amazon, with no order form but containing two beautiful advent calendars. They have tea lights in them, one for each day of the month and a surprise for the 25th. I love Yankee candles they always smell so gorgeous. You get a different flavour each day which is always really nice.
Little Jessie seems blissfully unaware of what is going on around her. In her basket and fast asleep.

Parcel!
Last Friday we got a card through the letter box from the P.O. to say that there was a delivery which was too large for the letter box. Vin went online to arrange for it to be sent to our local Post Office, it was there today. No wonder it was too big for the letter box it was huge, and turned out to be an Advent calendar from our Jane and was a Kellogs one. How inventive, 24 little parcels of cereal boxes all of the flavours I like. Can share them with Vin too if he is a good boy ! What a great present, really thoughtful XXXX Thankyou our Jane XXX
Surprised us after lunch today, which was a nice carrot and tomato soup, by just how quickly it goes dark. It was nearly pitch black by the time I came upstairs which was about a quarter past four. Vin was getting the fire ready downstairs but the ashes were a bit hot from last night, so it was a quick rush outside to get them out before the paper burnt. It burst into flames once and our next door neighbours thought we were having a barbecue...in the middle of winter!!!
Little Jessie didn't wake her daddy up too early his morning because it was darkish.
Where is my dinner daddy?

Podiatry!
Early appointment this morning to Aintree to the podiatry clinic, at 10.30. We got there a bit early and then had to wait for a while because they were quite busy. Saw Jo who cleared my foot, and made an appointment for the 15th of December to get a fitting for some slippers. At present I am wearing the orthopaedic flat shoes that are quite difficult to walk in.
After the clinic visit we nipped along to the Co-Op , mainly because I had seen an advert for some nice little chocs that would be a treat for Christmas. They do some nice things in there but not in all the stores. Vin came out with those on offer so that was a good deal, and worth going for.
Then he went the back way to the retail park for a Costa coffee. I had a lovely flat white and Vin had a honeycomb lattee. That came in a tall glass with a swirl of tasty cream on the top and honeycomb bits. I did pinch a bit of his cream when he wasn't looking and it was lovely.
Home then and by afternoon back in our normal routine. Little Jessie hadn't moved at all, not one little bit. Vin reckons she was tired because she was waking him up at six thirty this morning!
I LOVE this picture! you can just see her uniform. Didshe really go to work like that??@??
