Walkies!

On Saturday I was expecting to work (at Leyton Orient) so I got up at 6.30, got myself ready and just before I was due to leave, at 8.30 - I got a phone call to say that the game was called off as the pitch was frozen!  You can imagine my disappointment - a whole 'free' day to myself.  Oh well, you just have to make the best of it, don't you?  And, although it was cold, it was bright and sunny, so I borrowed a friend's dog and took her for a long walk.  Saw some  interesting patterns in the ice ...

and made some very long shadows...

We were out longer than I'd intended, as several of the routes I took were flooded and/or frozen.  And we might have got a bit lost.  All right then, I got a bit lost.  I don't think Trixie minded, although I suspect her feet might have been a bit cold at the end of it. 

Today I had one job to do.  I had to clear my sewing room in preparation for the decorator who is coming on Wednesday.  I got as far as taking all the fabric out of the cupboard and piling it up on the sofa in the lounge.  And then I don't quite know what happened, or what I ended up doing but that's as far as it got.  I have sorted out some paper work (totally unconnected with the decorating project) and cleared a pile of magazines (by reading them) and watched back-to-back episodes of Pride and Prejudice (the one with Colin Firth in a wet shirt).  I think I have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder.  Do you think I could have counselling?  Or at least a badge?

Anyway, if you see me on here tomorrow or Tuesday evening, please tell me to go away and clear the room, or I am going to have to get up at about 2am on Wednesday morning.

It'll be nice when it's done.
