Last night we decided what we were going to get the kitten for Christmas. Quality Street, he just loves chasing scrunched up sweet wrappers around. He is playing with one at the moment.

Henry is asleep in the wardrobe, Sasha is asleep on her cushion on the window sill next to me, i'm watching The Fall on IPlayer whilst sewing on chickens eyes.

Henry was 1yr old on Saturday.

This photo of him was taken by the RSPCA where I got him a year ago today.

I did not post this before.But i thought i would mention it after hearing something last night.On bonfire nights,dear Vernon would watch the most amazing display of fireworks from his adjoining neighbour.Well this was the first bonfire night without Vernon,well the neighbour began his display about 21-15.I have got to say it was spectacular,it was so good i tried to watch it from our bedroom window,trouble is the trees are too thick to see through.Anyway it was brilliant.But lo and behold,i have found out people complain about him every year,even going round to the house to complain about the timing and noise and how long it goes on for.It must cost a fortune,me i loved it,it reminded me of Vernon,and always will,i know Vernon mentioned it on here,him being into blasts,bangs,explosions and general mayhem.
Long may this display go on,and bah humbug the the complaining neighbours,it's only one night and for about twenty mins.

Great post, Postie, thanks.

I do miss the big man.

As do many of us, even if we never met in real life. There's so much that crops up that makes us think of him. Thanks @postman

Indeed, a couple of weeks ago I thought about him cycling along Vernon Avenue in Little Ilford.

Meanwhile I have to take my mother to Switzerland for a week tomorrow morning and I've just been told that they already have had snow. Brrr!

 

[Hill Wimp]

Well I did a Rocky this afternoon and the world still appears to be turning the right way after the bombshell this morning.

Shepherds Pie for supper

There was snow falling in Leeds this morning but not settling. Some cars, presumably from higher areas, had a good amount on their roof.

And Switzerland, pretty much wherever you go, is a higher area. I used to think that simply going south would raise the temperature till I ended up one winter's afternoon on the Med coast when the mistral was blowing.
