It's a Beautiful Day!




The sun is shining but it's still cold enough that the snow isn't melting. Tiva is still having fun in the snow in the garden but was so funny this morning. Last night she left her ball-on-a-rope out in the snow. When she went out this morning to get it she started to pick it up but it must have been too cold and she barely got it off the ground before putting it back down! So she walked around it a coule times and sort of pecked at it...and walked away. But (I know ~ she's weird) she always has a ball or some sort of toy in her mouth when she pees. So she walked around sniffing a bit and came back to the ball, picked it up by the throwing strap, walked three steps away and, much to her relief, tinkled! I heard the sigh from the back door!

It's Snowing...

...not right this minute, but we have about three inches laying in the garden. It's the worst weather we've had in 30 years and 'they' are having to have road salt shipped in from Spain! I took a few pictures in the garden last night and this morning... and Tiva playing in the snow...


In other news, I have resigned myself to Tiva missing Crufts but Sean and I are going to drive down on the Sunday morning at the skrake of dawn (3 a.m. in fact...what is before the skrake of dawn...just the middle of the night I think!) and help Jan with the dogs and see the show. My new beau says he would like to meet us there (he's in London)but it's early days yet. More on him as things develop.

I have my trip to Italy in May all booked! Yeah! I will fly to London on Saturday, spend the night and fly out to Alghero early Sunday. I will have a few days to relax and hit the beach before the seminar starts on Thursday. I am so looking forward to it...ahhh. New beau also wants to go to Italy with me ~ fingers crossed!

Sean is studying to take his test at the end of March. We are both going down and making a mini weekend of it. Wales is a lovely part of the world and I will enjoy seeing it again.

I'll close this up for now and get on with other things.

Bye for now.
