I was only thinking the other day that my car is almost 6 years old and it's often the age major things wear out or go wrong. Well it has. At least I hope it's not major!
Coming home last night from a great night at the folk club, the car did not feel quite right. I turned off the radio and opened the window to listen to it. There was a background whine I did not like the sound of. By the time I got home it was quite noticable. I've had a look and cannot see anything obvious - but then I wouldn't! The noise is still there and I have a feeling its a belt slipping. I'm booked into my friendly local garage just down the road this afternoon for them to have a look and listen. I'm praying it's something simple and easy to repair.
I know it's a while since I've posted in here and I'm sorry, but I've just not felt like writing and nothing much has happened to write about.
Honey is doing well and prancing around the house without a care. I think her leg is healing well and the next step is a return visit to the Ringwood vet for Xray and removal of the pins! I've been seeing my own vet weekly, and last week the gorgeous Dan said it was all fine and no need to see him again before the Ringwood vet visit, unless a problem arises. Honey is acting as though there is nothing wrong with her leg at all. She is taking me for walkies now LOL moving much more freely than I am and walking faster than me! I look forward to the day she can go off lead again. It will be about a month following the pin removal before she can be allowed to run again, so it's lead walks until then. Having done so well this far, I do not want to spoil all the hard work of the past months and let her injure herself because the bones are not full strength yet.
The biggest problem I have is that Honey keeps jumping up at me when she's excited about going out and she bashes my legs with the metal frame. It is padded and wrapped in bandages but it is still hard! She also has a habit of digging me in the back with her legs in bed at night. OUCH!
My aches and pains are coming and going with the weather changes. Roll on some Spring weather! The snowdrops are out round here and a few crocus are out too. A sign of better times to come - I hope. The birds and squirrels are chasing each other around with enthusiasm. I am on frog watch too - should be spawning time soon.
I did the Great British Bird watch last weekend, spending an hour watching the garden.
It was a pretty standard hour with all my common visitors showing their faces, but none of my more spectacular infrequent visitors. I did the tally and have posted my results on the website.
John has been pretty poorly this last few days. He has toothache and the painkillers he was given have upset his stomach so he's been sick and hardly eaten anything, being unable to chew either. Hopefully the dentist can sort him out today.
We have tickets booked for the Chichester Theatre tomorrow night to see Fairport Convention in concert. We usually see them at Yeovil around my birthday but they did not 'do' Yeovil this year, nor Salisbury. The closest gigs have been Exeter, Weston Super Mare, Farnham, and Chichester :( all well over an hour's drive. I hope we are both well enough to go and enjoy the night.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Pub quiz night tonight. :-D a good night out with my family and friends.
I hope its a busier night than recently. I think everyone is feeling the pinch after Christmas.
I can hear you making sympathetic noises. It's a long time from December to January pay day and all the Christmas purchases now show on credit cards - a painful time.
