Today we got out in the car for the first time since last Thursday. Snow, like the rest of you, has kept us in doors trying to stay warm and we have been burning logs as if there is no tomorrow. On the plus side I have just finished reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, 650 pages about Henry VIII and his court and Thomas Cromwell in particular. If this period is your bag I would recommend it to you.
The rain set in yesterday and has now taken care of the majority of the snow and, at the moment, there is no further white stuff forecast so hopefully we are in for a bit of a respite. This is good news for our two cats who have been going crazy because their routine has been turned upside down. As soon as you let them out they have been wanting to come in again so driving us mad in the process. As the temperature has been dropping to -12 overnight they have been staying in and have generally been behaving themselves, not wanting to go out too early.
Plans for our trip to Spain at the end of the month have been coming on a pace with hotels now booked and prayers being offered up for fine and sunny weather. At the moment it is about 15-18 degrees where we are going so hopefully all will be well.
We have a busy couple of weeks before we go with book club and meals out planned with friends so plenty to look forward to. But for the time being the sun is now out and the temerature is rising. What else does one need?
