At least it is a pretty one...

I did manage an hour or so in the shed but it was very cold.

A White Pigeon

One of the many pigeons I keep trying to stop coming into the garden, at least this one is a pretty one.

Until tomorrow...

More football...

I don't know why they have to mess about with the telly just because football is on! I have my nights viewing all planned out then football happens and corrie gets moved to 9:30pm. Humph!

I have been playing with my GoPro but am not going to put any pictures on yet, or videos (mainly because I haven't worked out how to put videos on yet). however give me a day or two and I will have some to put on.

We haven't done much today we had a ride to Tesco this morning, nearly got run into by a stupid man in a car doing a u-turn where you just shouldn't! He got called a few choice names as you can imagine.
The shopping cost more than we intended, but doesn't always? We always go with good intentions, then Tony usually see's something cheap and "well we might as well get it, it is cheap" he sounds just like uncle Harry. I have to admit I can be just as bad, sometimes.
We called to Go Outdoors as Tony needed some new footwear. He found some but I got the best bargain, a pair of trainers reduced from £60.00 to £12.95.

When we were back home I did some more baking the freezer is filling up now I am actually (oops! again ) freezing some before we eat everything. Even the cornish pasties made it into the freezer.
Tony bought some kebabs from Tesco small things look like cocktail sausages, He said "I wonder what these would taste like made into sausage rolls?" Guess where they are now? Yes wrapped in pastry and in the freezer. They did taste quite nice if you like spicy things, I am not too keen they were a bit too hot for me, but Tony has plenty in the freezer now to keep him going for a while.

The garden has been a bit neglected in the last few days so tomorrow I am going to make the effort no matter what the weather to spend some time in the shed. I will take the GoPro and see if I can catch the squirrels on it, I can leave it outside and set it to take pictures every so many minutes until the card is full. I have found out tonight that there is an app I can get to match the GoPro with my iPad so I can use the iPad as a remote I am going to look and find out more about that now.

I did manage to take a photo one the way home today, so I am using that as...

An epic journey...

Today we had to make an epic journey through the wind snow and rain, we had no choice, I had an appointment at the hospital.
I was to finally receive the results to find out why I kept swelling up like the elephant man, kept becoming covered in rashes that made me want to hide from society to finally be told what could be done to prevent it. If you believe that you must still believe in the tooth fairy, santa clause and the easter bunny.
We arrived at the hospital windswept, wet and frozen to the bone. However we did actually (there it is again Tony) get seen on time. The results were in, they were...
"inconclusive",  nothing showed up, everything was normal, but most of the time these sort of tests are.( So why the bloody hell do they do them?) So no I still don't know why, no I probably never will, just keep taking the tablets. The only other thing she said was if my throat or tongue swell to go straight to A&E as that is life threatening, and if this should happen to go to my GP and ask him to prescribe me an EpiPen. I have already been told all this before, nothing new really.  After a journey home that was just as traumatic as the journey there if not more so all I wanted to do was put on my PJ'S get my hot water bottle and curl up in bed.

The only good thing about my day is my new toy. I am now the proud owner of a
 GOPRO HD HERO 960 I am going to have so much fun playing with this...

The planning has started...

Tony and I took a bus ride to Leeds today, the weather wasn't too bad a couple of light showers but at least it was a bit warmer.
It was busy in Leeds but I managed to spend time looking in some shops and on the market before I had to give in and go home, the crowds always get the better of me in the end.

We have started planning a trip to Scotland. It is not for a while but we have to plan in advance so I can prepare myself for the journey. We have been surfing the web looking for somewhere to stay and we think we have found somewhere. It is near Chanonry Point so we should be able to see the dolphins while we are there, we intend to have walks on the beach when it is quiet. Hopefully we will gets lots of great photos as well of other things.
Then of course the second week we move to the Rural Retreat to look after The Pride for Matchgirl and Bassman I can't wait to meet Maia, Pandora & Willow.

Well the first photo of February
