A cruel cold wind out there today so I didn’t do much outside apart from the essentials and very quickly too.

I spent my morning cooking as we have friends coming over for supper and I always believe that curry tastes better if it can sit for a while.

The old ladies were mooching around happy enough outside, finding stuff to eat and I could see them from my kitchen window while I worked.

Ted said he was particularly feeling the cold these days so I dug about and found Harrel’s wee Icelandic lopapeysa that Monika knitted for him specially when he was a little lamb.  It fits rather well and looks like it could’ve been made just for Ted. I think we will put it on him when he goes outside in the morning as he just tends to stand around waiting for OH, who he worships.

(I had forgotten just how darn cute Harrel was when he was little)

Anyway, the gansey fits Ted and I might look online at the Equifleece range but when I put in Ted’s measurements, they said no dog could be that shape!

So, it’s been a quiet indoors sort of day for us all.

And when I had to go outside this afternoon to put everyone to bed, I couldn’t feel my fingers for the cold, despite two layers of gloves (one was silk too) while I was poo-picking miserably.  Inside now and I am thawing slowly.
