Quiet Weekend

Did we have snow on Friday? Hah, of course not. However, I was quite pleased that we didn't as it meant that I didn't have to drive in it. I was spoiled rotten on Friday night. First a nice cup of coffee and then a wonderful tea of spag bol was ready for me when I got home. The cats were already in and waiting to be fed and I didn't have to a thing. What a nice change. We had a peaceful evening watching telly with a couple of glasses of wine.

On saturday morning there was a thin sprinkling of snow on the cars and payments but not thick enough to cover the grass. Dizzy and Jake went out as normal but Teazer of course had to stay in which suited her fine. She hates going out anyway. We also stayed in all day as we didn't have any reason to go out. The TV was rubbish so we just finished the wine and did some reading.

Sunday was very uneventful apart from the fact that we kept trying to do some washing but the washer kept tripping the electrics. Sioned did warn me about this so we were aware that it might happen. It wasn't so bad in the daytime but after it got dark it was a right pain. We went to Tesco earlier and bought a take-away curry which only needed heating up in the gas oven but it was still a right nuisance when the electrics tripped. I was cutting up a salad and suddenly it would go pitch black and even the telly went off. How in earth do they put up with that? We decided not to do anymore washing at night.

Last night I was getting worried because I was struggling to get the cats in. Eventually Helen managed to get Dizzy in about half past eight but Jake didn't come in until bed time. This morning he was the first one wanting to go out as well. I wonder if he has found a second home or Helen suggested that he might have a girlfriend.

Even though I had a wonderful sleep last night, I still felt very tired this morning. I let my phone snooze a couple of times before putting the telly on for GMTV. I still fell asleep again which scared me a bit as I could have easily overslept.

I was late leaving the house and couldn't believe it when I saw the car was frozen all over. I got the de-icer out but realised pretty soon that it wouldn't work, so I had no choice but to go back in and get the kettle. There was a massive que waiting to turn right on to the main road but luckily most drivers were in a good mood and let us out quite quickly. I was still one of the first at work so the frost must have caught everyone else out as well.
