My daughter had a on eyed rescue cat She called it Nelson

Another volunteer for CP out here has a one-eyed cat. He's called Cyclops.

Well, he WAS called Cyclops. He got run over and he lost a leg, so he's now called...

Triclops.

You expecting it to be a bit on the cool side?

I've heard rumours that it might be a tad chilly over the next couple of days. You'd have thought they'd have covered it in the news.

They've been promising heavy snow for the last month. It's yet to appear!

Yesterday afternoon I left 16 boxes of mince pies in the far bike cage at work, tucked away in a corner. Only a few of us use it, the majority preferring the over-stuffed bike cage near the lift. It's only accessible by a keypad and there was no evidence of tampering. It's sort-of covered by cctv but I don't want to go down that route unless I have to.

This morning said boxes of mince pies - bought by me for my students - were missing. Security haven't got them and it's too short a time for the porters to intervene, not that they would as the cage is so far away from anything else they wouldn't care.

A message has gone out onto the work system, asking if the pie borrower may have inadvertently picked them up, and could they return them. Hopefully they weren't that hungry ...

On a more serious note I've got a blood pressure test tomorrow afternoon. It appears to be another post-covid issue as I'm showing high blood pressure apparently

Aaaaaah, and breathe........

Busy afternoon erranding in town. Art shop, Wilko, Aldi (rare for me) and Tesco. Anyways, all the gifts for assorted furry and feathers friends bought, picked up the stuff I couldn't get on Sunday because it was out of stock, picked up some puppy training pads to put down in front of the upstairs litter tray to catch any off target hits and managed to pick up a job lot of sausage rolls and a dressed crab on yellow sticker.

Had a lovely supper of cauliflower soup followed by steamed salmon, spaghetti with homemade basil & walnut pesto and buttered spring greens.

Finally sitting down and chilling out.

Puppy? Is there something we should know? Are you expecting the patter of tiny paws?

Someone keeps dangling their butt over the side of the litter tray upstairs.

Looking through the square window I can see it's dark and frosty outside

Another frosty early morning dog walk defiantly heated gloves to the max kind of morning.

Looks like we've been blessed with a little more rain.
