Short and sweet today really because not a lot going n in our household today. Just an ordinary Monday really, and no appointments this week either so will possibly go to Dobbies on Wednesday.
Quite nice Autumn day today, the sun is shining and the trees are still and not moving but apparently it is going to be colder by the end of the week. We are getting some nice colours on the trees now and the leaves at the front are very crispy and dry.Nice until it rains when they all go mushy.
Jessie was out for a little while this morning in the sunshine, and then as is her usual sat on the doorstep waiting. Vin of course jumped up and ran to the back door to let her in before getting back to his lunch! Wrapped around her little claws cheeky minx!
Here I am...Come and get me..NOW!
Out yesterday so in today which is nice. Oh my mistake we were out on Wednesday not yesterday, we lead such interesting lives that I forgot!! Doesn't matter though.
It went quite cold last night so Vin lit a lovely fire, not so cold today but I notice that next door has clouds of steam coming out of their boiler so they must be cool in there. The quilt has washed really well so that was very worth doing, it is now over the landing to get a last airing before storing away.
Jessie had a little biting fit last night. She jumped up on Vin in the bed quite late too and sat on his front.I reached over and gave her a good stroke and she rubbed my hand, then went back to my book which is a very good one. Next thing a few minutes later Vin was going OW! She was having a real good nip at his fingers, naughty girl. Then she jumped down quickly and ran out of the bedroom. I wonder if I had annoyed her??
Working up the energy for my cream cake. Daddy will deliver it soon!!
Yesterday it was our morning visit to Aintree. I had to go to the dressing clinic to get the toes redressed, and I have had a letter about a blood test for a while now so thought we would go and get that done also if there was time. Vin dropped me off at the entrance and I went down to the clinic, picked up a card which said 4 and then sat down. Vin went off to park the car. Only sat there for a few minutes and someone shouted 4 so I went along to the right room. Vin joined me some minutes later. Got the foot redone and looking fine so no need to go back till I get the wires out in late October. Vin went and got the car and we went round to the Elective care building, he left me in the front and went and parked the car again. Went up to where they do the bloods and surprise surprise there was nobody waiting, so went straight in. Back to the car and free parking because we were not over the half hour stage. Bonus!
On our way home we thought we were a little bit early for the Costa at Aintree so wended our way towards home and decided to go to the one in Tesco, Vin needed a couple of bits too so that suited us. We both had very nice flat whites and spent some time people watching. A good morning.
Today Vin took our bedspread off to the laundrette in Crosby to get washed. Our washing machine s not big enough to take it so we needed a larger one to take it with enough room to move. He was back in time for our coffee this morning.
Jessie greeted us when we came home yesterday at least she greeted Vin not me.
Look cute don't I? tickle my tummy, go on I won't bite!!!
At the local shop down the road. Not sure Vin likes that, he got on really well with the ladies who ran it before. They were really nice and friendly, so he will have to wait and see what the new owners are like.
Not out today, because we are out tomorrow, no appointment time, just turn up when we arrive pick up a card and go in turn.At least we don't have to be up with the lark.
Vin and I spent a lot of time this morning trying to get on to the site for the Fire cover. We had a voucher for a free case which is worth £30 or so they say, but we could only get to the end stage and no further. We gave up a couple of times but Vin had another go at coffee time and was successful, so he has ordered one with little cats all over it, wouldn't you knw. He will probably call it Jessie after his little Princess !
Talking of her, she was up to get him going this morning, jumped on the bed with a little miaow and waited patiently till he got going.
Very patient little girl. Waiting for cream cake maybe?
Just an ordinary Monday today. Not going out till Wednesday morning so stayed in. Jessie woke Vin up quite early this morning, she was on his feet, and so he got up to feed her otherwise she wouldn't have left him alone. Then he came back to bed and went to sleep again. Consequently we slept in a bit and got up a bit later. Doesn't matter because we were in anyway.
I ordered an Amazon Fire Tablet for Vin on Saturday from QVC as it was on today's special value. Surprised to see on my e-mails that it had been delivered to the Hermes courier and was due to be delivered today!! Now that is what you call quick! Nice big tablet with a ten inch screen. Looks like it should be good fun to play with. It is presently on charge ready to get going.
Jane rang up at coffee time, on her way to Tesco.
Please may I have some cream cake?
It is a grey day today. I have not long come upstairs to do the computing and Vin looked out of the window and said it looks like rain. Lo and behold no sooner had I sat down than it started and it is pouring down now all over the middle room window. Absolutely tipping down. If anyone is out in that they are welcome!
We of course didn't go out today we were out yesterday and are at Aintree tomorrow so have enjoyed a nice normal day in the house today. Very nice too.
Jessie has had a lovely day following her daddy around. He did bring her up to me this morning and put her in front of me for a stroke, but...the minute I did she wriggled out of his arms and ran away! Nice! Mmmm maybe I will confiscate her cat food! no maybe not, Vin wouldn't be a happy bunny.
My cat my rules. Keep off ! One man and his cat!
Missing in action for a couple of days, laid up with a "blip" in my digestive workings. Haven't had one since November last year so doing very well really. Haven't a clue what caused this one must have been something I ate, but no idea what. Anyway all fine now so on the mend.
Today we had an appointment to go to the dressings clinic at Ainttree fracture clinic basically to have my stitches removed from the two toes that were done.. Vin dropped me off at the entrance and I walked to the waiting area. To my surprise there were only two people waiting and no-one else!!! Very soon a nurse came and got me to go to the treatment room. She asked me if I wanted to wait for my husband but I said he would find me. He did about ten minutes later, by which time she had my toes undressed and was getting ready to do the stitches. They came out very easily and the wounds look good. She redressed the foot and said she would see me again probably the end of October which would be to remove the wires.And off w went. While I was waiting in the foyer for Vin to come back with the car she brought me a letter with the appointment and Vin saw it was for nine fifteen which is really early for us, so he went to the receptionist and got it changed for eleven thirty which is fine.
Jane has just rung up and she had just missed a bus, so went into the Tesco garage to get some butter while she waited. After around fifteen minutes she said guess what, there are three buses coming at once! Just like the joke.
On the way back from Aintree Vin called into the garden centre over the way to see if they had any hanging baskets for the front door They didn't really but the girl did say if you bring your own basket they will fill it for you and it is cheaper, so after we had been home he decided to take it back to get refilled. Good plan son!
Jessie has been asleep most of the morning but he did let her out in the back when he went for the basket, and when he got back she had come in on her own and was sat waiting for him. What a clever girly!!
Catching the Autumn sunshine! Not long to wait for some cream cake!
