The snow tyres are on the car and my Mistress has even ordered a snow shovel. She still says she will be happy not to use them, but the point I found her toying with buying a sled I did think she may be protesting too much. She said the sled would have been for us. More to the point I think she had in mind us pulling her along in it when we went for a walk if it were to be snowy. Thankfully it is not often snowy enough round her as it could only end in tears! It\u2019s felt very cold and been horribly windy but as yet there is no sign of snow here. There\u2019s no sign of Shadow\u2019s season either. My Mistress is wondering if she is going to get through Christmas before it begins and whether perhaps it is worth putting up a tree and buying in Christmas dinner. I said she should do those things as you can rest assured the minute she\u2019s done them it will start. I shall rather feel cheated of my Christmas dinner if we are all here but she hasn\u2019t bought anything exciting for us to eat.<\/p>\n
I was watching a pigeon sitting on a branch which was rocking in the wind and couldn\u2019t help but wonder if birds ever suffer from vertigo and motion sickness and how on earth they cope. I suppose they could sit on the ground, but then they are more of a target to prey. Now I\u2019m worrying about them. Perhaps I should create a sheltered spot for them with firm perches out of reach of ground predators and Shadow.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve developed a wart on the end of my nose recently. It\u2019s really annoying me now because it\u2019s just in my line of sight. It\u2019s nothing to worry about, except that being an \u2018old dog wort\u2019 it reminds me I\u2019m aging, but I do wish it would go away.<\/p>\n
