Things are a little busy again here

as usual, now that the cold still has not quite gone and the upset Saturday night have calmed down I am starting to do a bit again which may mean that I will not post as regularly as I have done.  Coupled with things am trying to do in the house, get tidy, get rid of clutter, etc. etc. OH is working overtime where he can which means that muggins walks the dog as he comes in too late and as she is an old lady nine on 31 October I like to keep her in routine as best as possible as she is so very good in any event. As it is a good mile walk  - normally we go down in the van and then walk her for a good 1/2 mile or so and then come back but when I take her she is taken on the lead to where we walk her and then walked and then walked all the way back.  She is a bit nervous of the traffic but walks for me at least very nicely on the lead. Not necessarily so for the OH as she thinks she can do as she wants when he is around.  I like her to behave herself whilst at the same time giving her, her freedom where we walk her.

Today was such a day and at 3:30pm I noted that it was starting to darken up a bit.  Where we walk Missy is very poorly lit and I did not really want to be out at dusk or later with her  - she is quite feisty and if she does not like anything soon lets us know.  Much as I love walking her - it does end up throwing me out on everything else.

It was starting to get really chilly at that time and has turned chillier since.  However the sunset across the skyline looked beautiful moody and broody and cold!

When OH works late I also try to ensure that a meal is ready for OH when he does get in and we have had roast beef for tea this evening with lots of roasties and veggies.  Hopefully there will be enough for a reprisal tomorrow evening which will save a little time in the greater scheme of things.

It was really cold here again last night, and I have had the heating on a couple of times today already although it had warmed up nicely so at the moment am giving it a little respite at the moment.

I have been backwards and forward to the kitchen quite a bit though making sure that tea will be ready. Especially when someone keeps changing the goalposts!

Needless to say tea went down a treat.  OH is a bit like the walking dead at the moment but at least he has got stuck in and worked the extra all very helpful.

For Wednesday we have a small rib eye steak each which will be served with home made onion rings and home made chips and also some fried onions and mushrooms.  So to some extent some preplanning without too much angst.  

Right had better get a wriggle on.  

Catch you later.
