Visitor in the Garage

 

Just to wish you all a very  Belated  "Happy New Year"

 

This little field mouse is in the freezer in the garage ~ Lyn called me  to come have a look ~ he is so tiny and looked terrified  ~ the freezer drawers had been removed as it was being de~frosted ~ there was nothing in there for him to eat ~ and all the bird seed and peanuts were packed away in plastic bins so he couldn't nibble his way in ~

So feeling sorry for the little mite I took a few seeds and a couple of peanuts out and put in a dish for him ~  Yes Lyn thinks I'm 'Nuts' as well :o)

Frogs

Tom was woken up earlier the other morning by some weird sounds coming from downstairs ~ he wasn't sure what it was but as it continued he got up to go investigate ~ it turned out to be his tropical fish tank there was only a couple of inches of water left at the bottom ~ the rest had seeped out ~ he thought it had a leak so brought the fish round here to put into our tank until he investigated what was wrong with his ~

as you can see from the picture above among his fish were two underwater frogs (I had never seen these before ~ in fact I had never heard of them before) they are minute and facinating to watch ~ they search all over the tank  from the bottom among the rocks and then seem to float to the top ~ can you see him ?

This is the picture seen from my bedroom window the other morning the sun was so bright I couldn't look at it 
 but a beautiful sight to start off the day

Note the frost on the front lawn it has been like that for the last three or 4 days ~ and is very very cold ~ so I am off to put some more logs on the fire so it is lovely and cosy indoors ~

Thankyou Donna for my opening Graphic ~you can find Donna on my sidebar

Twelve days to go

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucky has made herself at home and loves getting into boxes ~ she now gets on well with Joy's other cats and everyone loves her she is such a cute little kitty ~ her favourite passtime at the moment is bringing leaves in from the garden and  she piles them up on the floor in front of Tim ~ on several occassions she has brought spiders in and drops them on the floor ~ just so long as she dosn't give them to me because they are still alive ~  

 

Lyn decorated our smaller Christmas tree and it looks very pretty ~ It lights up and changes colour ~ don't know if we are going to put the big one up this year ~

 

Still have a bit of Christmas shopping to do ~ yesterday we went and bought the Turkey ~ Ham ~ Beef and a Chicken ~ The Turkey was too big to go in our freezer so until we need it it is in Lyn's friends Chest Freezer ~ neither of us gave it a thought it might be too big ~

 

 

visit to the Seaside

 

I think at long last I have managed to load some pictures ~ I may have won my battle with 'File Manager'

The Photo's are some taken last month ~ the weather was really horrible ~ the rain only eased off  for a short time ~

We didn't have any trouble finding a parking space though ~ as all the sensible people had stayed at home ~

Am now going to try and comment on some journals that I have not been able to ~ I have been able to read them OK  ~

visiting Reepham

                             

Tomorrow 26th November is my Darling Daughters Birthday ~ So Lyn I hope you have a wonderful day ~ you are the best Daughter a Mother could wish for ~ and thankyou for all the things you do for me and anyone else who needs your help ~ you are always there ready to listen and willing to help ~

Yesterday we went for a trip to Reepham a small Village near us and stopped at the Village store ~ there was a crowd of schoolboys out front all eating chips ~ the smell wafting from them was wonderful ~ I wondered where they had got them because I had never seen a Chippie all the times we have been there ~

I asked Lyn if she knew where it was because by this time I was starving ~ driving along looking down a narrow road to our left she suddenly remembered that it was down there ~ so we turned left and sure enough found the Chippie as you can see from the photograph

I got out of the car and found the front door which said "OPEN" on it and with trepidation I undid the door not knowing what it would be like inside ~ as from the outside it looked like a derelict rundown dump ~

So you can imagine my surprise to find a beautifully clean and hygienic shop ~ so instead of running out of the shop I placed my order ~ then couldn't get home quick enough to eat them ~

Photos

 

I have been having a battle all week with file manager ~ he just will not let me in to edit pictures ~ I do not know as yet if I have been successful this time ~

But we will see when I save this entry ~ but I do have my doubts ~ come on aol please be good to me I have been ever so patient and really good this week ~

The pictures if ever they do appear are a day out in Norwich I had during the week ~ and it was really a lovely day which I did so want to share with you ~

We went into the Mall and it looked so lovely with the Christmas decorations being put up ~ and The arcade looked a picture with it's decorations ~

We drove to the outsirts of Norwich and parked the car at park and ride and took the bus into Norwich ~ which is really a good idea as the City is so busy and finding a parking space is almost impossible ~

The Saturday before last went to visit my sister Joy ~ stopped in at Asda on the way to do a little shopping ~

On leaving the store I drove to the traffic lights ~ and glanced over the Road at the Garage where I bought my little "KA" (In fact I have bought all my cars from them)

I don't know why I drove into the garage as I had no intention of changing my car ~ but driving along a line of cars for sale my eye caught this one ~

and I just knew it had to be mine ~ So I went into the Office got the keys and had a look inside ~ it is a bit bigger than my little "KA" and has 4 doors plus power steering ~

The garage did all the work changing over my Tax disc ~ and even got me a better deal with the insurance company ~

When I got back home I told Lyn what I had done ~ and she laughed and said "You were only going out to buy some fruit"

We drove down there on the Sunday so she could take a look at it ~ and she like me thought it was lovely ~ so last Saturday we went to collect it and say goodbye to my little "KA" which had only done53 thousand miles in all the time I have had it ~ I really only used it to go back and forth to work ~ and Lyn does all the driving on our other outings ~

So I am now the proud owner of a Fiesta ~ Flight ~ colour Midnight Blue  named "Agy" and was given a beautiful bouquet on leaving ~
