February 9th

Oh, no!  I woke up with a bit of a tickle in my throat and now I feel dreadful. Shivery and hot and cold – I have been asleep most of the afternoon at my desk.  I am going to dose myself up and go to bed early – the last thing I need is a cold when Jackson arrives!

I will be back tomorrow, hopefully feeling better!

February 8th

Sorry I did not write yesterday, I was feeling a bit “off”.

Wee went to the Axe and Compass on Saturday and I had avocado pear with bacon to start with, Longsleeve did not have anything and Robert and John had deep fried whitebait. Then Christine had sea bass, Robert had lamb shanks, John had steak and I had a chicken breast with mushroom stuffing in pastry. The pastry was a bit heavy and so I left it.  All in all, it was OK.

I bought an activity center for Jackson today – it is a pole that is covered with sisal – here is a pic

It seems quite study and the pole unscrews for storage.

It snowed a bit today but it did not settle. John and Slip went pigeon shooting and are going again tomorrow.No deliveries but I am expecting some more discontinued Rowan.   Back tomorrow!

February 6th

We are about to go out or a meal with Robert and Longsleeve. We are going to the Axe and Compass.  Longsleeve is so called because she is a hopeless knitter. She knitted a sweater for Robert and the sleeves were so long!  Robert is a farmer but they are shortly going to move yo Spain and live there permanently

I went shopping today and bought n carrier for Jackson. Also the toys that I ordered online arrived. John pressure washed the outside run and house but it is too cold for Jackson to go out there yet. I still need a scratching post and bed  and them I think I am ready.

I am not feeling very hungry but perhaps I will by the time to eat. Slip is not coming with us as we are going in my car and there is no room for her – she is on guard duty! I will report back tomorrow.

February 5th

I have told John that Jackson can be collected on Thursday next. He was not exactly over the moon but I did hear him telling Slip that she will soon have a playmate and so perhaps it will be OK.

The new shades of Debbie Bliss Cotton DK arrived today along with the last of the new shades of Baby Cashmere. No sign of my Kauni box tho’ – it was sent on January 18th and so it should have come by now.

We are going out for a drink now and so I must away to the bath!!  Back tomorrow.

February 4th

This is Otis wearing his camouflage walking jacket!!  Jackson is coming next week – I just have to decide which day I want to collect him – I think Wednesday. I have got to break the news to John yet…….I am waiting for a good moment!

My chilblains are a bit better tonight – I think the bathing in the lotion must have helped plus the fact that it has not been so cold today.

No deliveries and no news of the missing Kauni. Since I have to pay up front for it, it is a bit worrying – I shall email them again.They do not speak very good English and so communication can be difficult to say the least!

Now I am going to sort out the Baby Cashmerino – I have masses of odd balls that I must round up. Back tomorrow.
