Thankful that all the preparations weren't necessary, I went about my normal ablutions. As I was feeding the dogs - they do like a bit of breakfast in the morning - I noticed that the light was a funny orange. Within half an hour of getting up, this was the scene! Thankfully I wasn't due to go out today, because it looked quite bad at one point, but I have to report that, by 10:30am , the snow had all gone. Ah well!
Of course the winter scene should have been an excuse for a nice sewing day by the fire. What else would you expect from me after all? Well - Millie had other ideas! She had found a gravy stock pot, tore it open and devoured it - leaving traces all over the lounge carpet! So time was spent cleaning that off.
Then, in the cleaning mood, I mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors. I use lemon flash in my water and love the clean feeling it gives. By now, however, this wretched cold was taking its strain and so a cuppa and some Tuesday night sewing was in order. It's not due until a week on Tuesday but I wanted to get it out of the way and so worked my way through it. Now every square has to be cut in half and the seams pressed open - but I will leave that for another day!
This afternoon, I am afraid, I was well and truly flagging so had a "duvet afternoon" on the sofa with some hand sewing and Midsummer Murders. The latest flood news for our area is a downgraded version with the tide expected to be just 1.2 m over the sea defence. I think that my evening will be safe - but I still have everything ready just in case! Let's hope that everyone is safe - I really don't understand those people who complain about being warned - and then it doesn't happen. Surely its better to be pre-warned? It should be safer!
Glad to hear you are safe and dry...some people are just never happy are they!
