Jen made it home safely with a huge builder's type bucket full of water and fish. 14 lovely healthy goldfish are now resident for three months or so. I hope she has 14 to take back to the farm in the spring!
I must apologise for yesterday's over-indulgence. I'm sure the minute details of my day were riveting reading - NOT.
I paid the price of all the water carrying by having painful knees in the night. I tried to roll over in bed but it took me a few minutes as pain shot through my knee. I had to inch over a bit at a time. It didn't help that Honey was cuddled up close and grumbled and grunted at my movement LOL Anyone would think it was cold last night and she felt warmer up against me. I make a good draught stopper :-)
I am actually hobbling around the house with a stick today the pain is so bad. I have some bits to bring downstairs but they can wait until Jenny gets home from work. I am in no shape to carry anything today :-(
I love seeing the photos of all the snow around the country but we have none here - yet! There was a heavy frost this morning so everything was sparkling in the early sun. It all looks pretty, Glad I am not driving until later.
Bad news! A magpie has discovered my feeding station! He has been hanging around trying to get at the suet cake and keeping my small regular visitors away :-( They need their suet fuel in this weather.
A stupid pigeon flew into the patio doors with a resounding DONK this morning. The windows face north and were reflecting the brightly sunlit garden so I expect he thought he was flying through. He looked a bit startled but flew away after a few seconds. Maybe it will stop him shovelling down the birdfood like a Dyson sucking up dirt. I have very fat, well fed wood pigeons :-)
I usually leave the doors inside the house open all the time but in this cold snap I am closing them to stop draughts and keep the living room warmest for comfort. The only problem is Honey is used to having a free run round the house and she hates shut doors. She is always on the wrong side of a closed door!
Tonight is pub quiz night YAYY I just hope we do a whole lot better than last week!
Please come back Kev & Sheila, we need you!
Have a good week whatever you're up to. Stay warm and safe above all else. x
