I woke up at 10.00hrs
today - very late - having had a very disturbed sleep last night. I shall need the extra hour during tonight
gained as the hour goes back and we say goodbye to European Summer Time for six
months. Though I hate the thought of going into Winter and the colder, wetter weather it will be good to get lighter mornings.
When I went up to the field to
feed and let out the animals there was a bitter wind and I’m afraid it was so
biting that in spite of my long sleeved fleecy sweater, padded gilet and scarf, I drove the short distance then and this evening. Snow
photos were being shown on BBC Breakfast of places in the UK – I do hope it doesn’t
come here yet.
I had to drive to see a friend
before lunch and carried on to do some shopping near Loudeac. I always enjoy shopping in a different and
larger supermarket. The choice of meat,
fish and veggies was so huge and I came away with more than enough food for the
week. They only had live crabs for sale
but, when I enquired, the young and friendly fishmonger asked me to give him twenty
minutes and he cooked my lovely brown crab for me while I did the rest of my
shopping.
The kittens have been
very active today, but finally it was enough for them and they settled down to
relax and eventually sleep.
My legs are covered in tiny puncture marks and
needle diameter scabs where they keep climbing up to reach my lap. I love having these little cats and even Purrdy
seems to be marginally more accepting of them than she was at first. They sometimes eat from the same plate at the
same time now.
Daisy is definitely the braver of the two, although Claude is not nearly as wimpish as he was when he first arrived.
Three things I like:
1. Some good friends have just announced that they are expecting their second child.
2. Purrdy, Daisy and Claude all ate from the same plate this morning at the same time.
3. Finally getting my new 'phones reconnected after the storm took out the old ones.
