Too Fast

Why is time going in too fast!!!
One wean has gone Awwww
One is still here Huraaah !!!
The area under the tree seems quite bare!
The wee cat's Dusty and Rusty have gone, so I won't wake tonight to a wee purring warm patch under the covers tonight ! or at 5am I won't wake to a meow cry to change litter , feed or stroke.
the extra bedding is in the wash. Weather reports phoned say there is strong winds and heavy snow at the Borders which both my two have to face. But with warm sleeping bags, stove and emergency kit, I do hope they get through.
An update will be posted pre-2010
Ah it's New Years Eve' all is well, folk got to their destinations safely and although we have experienced a bit of overhead tank leak and some damage, all will be OK, cos' people are far more important than mere things

Went to see the 3D film last night AVATAR. it was really enjoyable despite what the critics said.

Anticipation...ohhh ahhhh

Nearly 2010

What will this week hold?
Apart from Christmas day... yes I know that is on the 25Th...Friday.
A safe return from Belgium of my brother and his wife, who got caught up in the whole Euro Star debacle.
A safer road system that copes with conditions, my sister-in-law sat for hours in the cold last night when a lorry had jack knifed.
A safe journey for my son and daughter who are coming home for Christmas, whaayhaay... canny wait!!!!

I had been shopping in Byres Road, and very successful it was too.
When I left the house it was a wee bit sleety with some hailstones.
But when I came out of the shops carrying my parcels, umbrella and stuff a blizzard had brewed up, forming horizontal thick snow.
As I trudged up the hill back to my abode and the path got slippier and snow clung to my boots, I honestly couldn't be happier. Winter is supposed to be like this!
I went out dressed for the weather, and appreciated warmth and dryness when I got home, viewing the winter wonderland outside
