Its colder today and it's sleeting and trying to snow.
The village looks bleak in this kind of daytime as for the most part you cant see the pools of lights and the lit fires from the road outside the huddles of houses on the side of the Gop.
At dusk and beyond, the home lights always look more cosy.
This morning I've completed some mandatory training, priced a professional birthday cake up and taken Mary for an ear check up at the vets. She's still itching her 600£ surgery site and the vet's shoulder shrug cost me a further 20£ and petrol costs.....at least they had the good grace to blush a bit!
Such is life.
When I got home the weather deteriorated a bit and so before lighting the fire I fed Irene her daily treat of sour bread . The postman arrived when I was still on the field, he waved impatiently for me to come over he had a large parcel of postcards and a box for me to sign for.
"A pressie from Hawaii" he shouted into the wind "I wish I was there !"

Not everything that is pushed through my letterbox has a positive connotation.
Yesterday I received a speeding fine for 100£.
I cant really afford such a sum!
The mobile camera that caught me was hidden away at the bottom of a local hill in a semi rural spot and although I was doing 36 miles an hour a few feet into a 30 miles an hour zone I got charged.
ok, ok hands up, I did break the law and so I should not be bleating, but it does smack, just a little of a money making scheme, especially as the alternative offer of a "speed awareness course" could be taken up at the knock down cost of £92 !
Anyhow, I wont bang on , especially as I have just learnt that I have to fork out an additional 400£ for an up to date pension forcast document for the divorce lawyers!!!
Divorce is a fucking expensive do!

Pay up and shut Up John!
