The builders are trying to rearrange the day they need to do the last bits of finishing off. They emailed to ask if our snow had thawed. I fell about laughing. How exactly is it going to thaw when the temperature doesn\u2019t go above freezing? When we got up yesterday morning the thermometer said minus 12.1 degrees. That is in centigrade so I will admit that it isn\u2019t as bad as you might first have thought. That would be 10 Fahrenheit. Still not likely to thaw though! And might I just say from a dog who had to go out in it to pee, it was bloody cold on the paws. They have arranged a day next week to come, but looking at the weather forecast I\u2019m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n
My Master has been completely absorbed by the cricket. It\u2019s always good when we do well against the Aussies. It means my Master is in a good mood, which we all enjoy. Of course it\u2019s usually the English praying for rain so that we don\u2019t lose by too many runs, rather than us wanting it to stay dry so that we can win. Funny thing weather, we all want it to be on our side.<\/p>\n
My Mistress has bought my Master an \u2018experience\u2019 present for his birthday. I\u2019m not allowed to say what it is, but I want to have a try too. I did try reading through the small print to see if dogs were allowed, but I think the most we can expect is to be a spectator and where\u2019s the fun in that? On a brighter note my Mistress says I can help ice the Christmas cake later this week if I\u2019m really good. I\u2019m not sure what I will allowed to do, but she has a new icing set that is supposed to be easier to squeeze and I\u2019m even thinking it might be possible with paws. I\u2019ll be happy as long as I get to eat some of it. That\u2019s where the real fun is to be had.<\/p>\n
