24. Winter wonderland
It seems a much shorter time in my mind since I last wrote. The weeks have flown bye with a frenzy of paperwork,taxes,bills,providing transport for the numerous visits to various hospitals in connection with M's attempt to get a bigger pension.Many visits later the result proved dissapointingly stupid.Under the illness scheme she would be entitled to 28Lv less! The house is now fronted by a partially replaced fence but Chocky still finds places to get out in the grounds! So a lot of the time he is on his lead or on the terrace,gated in.The 3rd spell of snow is lingering although the last lot was wet,good for snowballs but not walking.With 2 visits back and forwards to M+G each day,I have been very glad of my Xmas present crampons.Only 2 minor falls as a result.The last 2 days i have tried to walk Chocky using the empty forest .Though boring it is bettter than being confined all day. I have also stuck to my new year's resolution of being prepared for a long winter by keeping on stockpiling goods ahead of use. Though the weather has been less snowy than last year it has been exceptionally cold with strong biting

northerlies. For all that I have had three parts of days just relaxing on the terrace. However more than ready for Spring even though this will bring lots of physical work. The latter is on hold and very much to the fore of my my mind. Apart from a recent ear infection which is now on the mend with antibiotics, I am in very good health. I am adding some photos from this year. bye for now supergran.
