Iced Primulas & Being productive


The frost has totally iced up all my primulas and they resemble tiny ice sculptures all over the garden! which is so sad as I spent hours dotting them all over. The field opposite has totally frosted over and the weather this morning is bright and cold, just as I like it.

We have decieded to buy the
Citroën Berlingo ! had a good look at it yeasterday and it's huge inside even though it looks like a van which should have a wheelchair parked in the back of it! Chris would love a small jeep, but the cheap running berlingo ( which sounds like a 1970 black porn character), has won the day.We will be investing in a dog gate also so car journeys will be safer but certainly less friendly!


Had to laugh! the berlingo's last owner WAS in a wheelchair! Just returned from part x ing the Polo! Oh the shame, as the garage owner was walking around our car with lips pursed! Finlay and Meg were busily ripping the back off the driver's seat!

I have arranged to Pick up Belingo (as the car is being named) on Friday (Janet calles it the spazmobile which is a little uncharitable) , so spent a productive few hours on line organising insurance and the like. Then after a glorious walk on the beach went to Halfords in Colwyn Bay to get the dog grill for the new car! (no more bitten seats)! When I was there popped into a junk/antique shop that Janet had recommended, and saw a lovely if not slightly worn arts and crafts desk. It was tiny and just right for the cottage so I was amazed when the shop owner said it was 85£! I pushed the fact the lock does not close properly and got it for 65£

A bargin!

Registered with a dental practice in Prestatyn and could not believe the practice still has vacancies! I suspect the reason is that all the dentists in the practice are Polish and new to the country which is all very Welsh. Called in to see Janet to arrange what she is bringing for dinner on Saturday, she and Ned are providing the starters, Andrew and Jayne the pudding and Ann and Tim the drinks. This "sharing" of the food makes socializing so much easier and stress free! Anyhow as she was talking to me ( I was in the car with the dogs) Finlay became hysterical, as he wanted her undivided attention and as she poked her finger in the window, desperately he grabbed on to it like a drowning man would do to a lifebelt!. Hopefully she wont need a tetanus and the scars will fade eventually! whoops!
