Really cold today! i fully expected to wake up this morning to loads of snow, but nothing really here on the coast. Looking at the people online some of them in other areas have been hit really badly. One in Norfolk had about a foot of snow overnight and the whole of Norfolk brought to a standstill. Looking out of the window right now it is snowing quite heavily, and will probably stick because everywhere is quite dry.
Poor Jane is on nights tonight so will probably get loads of broken ankles and arms I should think. I hope it isn't too slippy for her.
We didn't go anywhere today, at least I didn't but intrepid Vin did. he went off to Homebase to get some logs to stock up in case!
Well that flurry of snow has stopped now so that was quick!
Little Jessie hasn't been out either, she much prefers her nice warm basket. all curled up and lovely and warm. Funny at lunchtime, we had soup with a few croutons and a slice of olive and rosemary bread toasted. She jumped up on the arm of Vin's chair and looked very interested. He said it wasn't cream cake, but he thought it was the smell of the rosemary, and that maybe it was a bit like catnip!! He is probably right as I think it is of the same family.
In her hut last night, right by the fire, best spot in the house!
Well we were going to go to Dobbies today, but when we woke up everywhere was covered in snow. So that decided it for us and we stayed in. Vin did the bedding instead, very exciting.
Poor Jane has no choice today, she was on eight to eight, and shee rang up at lunchtime to say it was very snowy where she was too. The roads weren't too bad but the pavements slippy if you didn't watch. I asked her if her windscreen was iced up but it wasn't once the snow was moved it was ok. That saves time anyway.
Little Jessie actually went out today, I didn't think she would but she decided to go and have a look. Not for long though! Vin was saying through the window "you all right ? " and she sat on the step and waited till he let her in again!. Too posh to push again!
Cream cake time Jessie?
Supposed to be very very cold this week, and forecast for snow everywhere. I do have to say that whilst it is really chilly, there is no snow and it is very sunny looking out of the window. Listening to the radio however, there does seem to be patches of snow around. We do happen to be quite lucky on this coast though, and it has to be quite bad for us to get snowfall.
We had a nice viewing weekend on Saturday and Sunday. We watched all three episodes of Little Women. We had it on the HD and were looking for something to watch, so Vin said we'll scroll down and see what we have. Came across that from Christmas and decided to go with it. It was absolutely gorgeous, we enjoyed it hugely. Terrific acting and beautiful scenery. We were convinced it was New England but it turned out it was filmed in Ireland!
Little Jessie went out twice today, even given how cold it was!
Not for long though!
Podiatry again, twice in one week. they will be getting tired of me! Mainly it was to get the insoles fitted for the slippers that I had previously had from them. We had to ring to check up whether they were in otherwise we did not have to go, but they rang back to say they were so off we went at 1.00. We thought it would be really quick, but we didn't get out till 2.30. We waited quite a long time today, and then the feet needed re-doing to fit them, but all was done.
On the way home Vin called in at the garden centre to get one of their cherry cakes so we could have a smidgen of cake with our coffee later. Their cherry cakes are lovely actually, and will tide us over till we get to Dobbies next week.
Little Jessie was really lively today, she was up and down like a yo-yo. Following her daddy and jumping up and down on the bed. He said he was trying to hide from her and get under the covers, but she is getting crafty now and puts a paw up to tickle his cheek till he gives up and goes down to feed her.
She was nearly in the fire last night! notice the slippers in a nice Burgundy colour.
Since we were out yesterday and maybe out tomorrow, we are not sure about that yet, we are in today. It is really lovely and bright outside and looking out of the window it looks really sunny. However, Vin keeps coming in to say how cold it is. Watching the weather forecast, and it says that it is expected to be very cold this evening too. We actually haven't had too much frost or snow this winter actually, so we are quite lucky.
Our Jane is on nights for a few days now, I wonder how she manages to sleep with all this bright light coming in through the curtains. Either very thick curtains or a sleep mask. At least they don't have a landline so they don't get disturbed by foreign phone calls !
Jessie was funny this morning, Vin says she was miaowing everywhere he went. He went in the front room and she followed him miaowing there. He came in the middle room and she miaowed there. He went in the kitchen and she miaowed there too. She wanted food< there was food there, but she wanted a different one! Cheeky monkey!
Waiting patiently. I hope she isn't waiting for cream cake because there isn't any. I'm lying. There is a tiny piece left, I MIGHT let her have some cream from the middle if she is nice to me!
Firstly an apology to our Jane. I posted a picture of what I thought was her yesterday, but it wasn't. It was a photo of a girl from a paper who is her Doppelganger! looks exactly the same, very confusing. Sorry Jane.
Today we had an appointment at podiatry at 3.30. So basically the whole day revolved round that. We had to do everything a bit earlier and left the house at about a quarter to three after squashing everything up. Got there at around 3.15 just about sat down and then heard my name called. Good start! Saw the lovely Cathy . I like her always have done. She is one of those easy down to earth people who gets on with things. Mind you the whole team is great, they are like old friends by now!.
Had my feet dressed and was given some new podiatry shoes a bit smaller, so a bit easier to walk on. I have another appointment on Friday with the orthotist, but she said to ring up first in case the shoes aren't in to just check.
Little Jessie was in her basket when we left and was still there when we got back! Don't think she moved at all. Vin said Hello Puss when we got in the house and she just about raised her head. Hmmmm.!
Lovely day today really. Bright and sunny although the forecast for tonight is cooler and maybe frosty. You just do not know what to expect these days. Typical of the type of the year really.
Little Jessie went out this morning in the sunshine. Vin says "Look Jen she's gone out in the sun, " as if I can see over the window sill! So I just say Ah how lovely and leave it at that. Then she does her routine sitting on the step and waits to be let in. So he drops his lunch and runs to let her in. What a Princess.! Definitely too posh to push!
Outside looking in!
Our Jane rang up on her way home from trying to get her hair cut. Apparently they were closed again, so she says she will try again next week. Hope she is lucky then her hair must be well over her eyes ! Shame really it looks gorgeous short.
