Dreich morning ....
16th
January 2017 (Monday)
.... My thoughts are with Janice and Michael today: Janice has her ‘op’ in Eastbourne this afternoon,
... so a stressful time for them
both. “Bonnie” and I are looking
forward to Friday .... Janice will be home.
It appears that “Bonnie” has decided the she
will be i/c and that, for her, sleeping is ‘Order of the day’, .... and, being that it is raining, and none too warm, sleeping
isnae bad idea. I’m going to bake scones, and have been up to the
local shop, a Mini Tesco, for some ingredients. It’s a handy shop but doesn’t have a wide
selection of goods. It does have
Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers and Milk Chocolate Digestives; both vital ingredients on a dour day like
today.
19.00 Brilliant news; Michael phoned, at 18.40, to say that Janice
is sitting up in
bed, drinking tea. “Bonnie”
and I are celebrating with a cuppa.

22.30 This has been a long day, but we’ll sleep
soundly tonight knowing that Janice is ... probably ‘planning plans’ as we
sleep! Among the ‘sound sleepers’ will
be “Bonnie” the Westie. Having said
that she did sleep well today, only becoming ‘restless’ about 12.45 for some
obscure reason.
I
left Michael and Bonnie sound asleep on the sofa when I crept upstairs a few
minutes ago; they well deserve their
sleep! I was going to wash the
crockpot but that would have been too noisy so I’ll do it in the morning.
We’ve
been watching the preparations at the White House for the forthcoming
Presidential inauguration on Friday: I
know it happens every four years but for some reason this one is going to be ‘different’
... and then some! Donald Trump,
will become “President of the United States of America”.... and with the new
President seemingly representing “GREED” – and there is far too much of that attitude on
the planet today; this is something to be concerned about.
