Thanks all for the condolences .. the neighbour and his wife, Carol, are in the midst of a HUGE home renovation .. their kitchen is gutted, no stove, just the fridge and microwave left, and they are in a den .. so .. not everyday, but a couple of times a week for the last 3 weeks, I'll cook extra chicken legs or pasta, nothing elaborate, and their ... hmmmm .. not sure what to call Freddy, he's sort of along the lines of a 'butler' I guess .. will come over and get it .. he's an ages old family friend of Carols and he lives in their guest house and helps with odd jobs etc around the house .. Terry is a paraplegic, has been ill off and on, but, this time his kidneys are involved.

Was up an outside with the dogs at 2am!! Piper 'heard' something .. sure enough, they did their duty, but, there were fresh tracks in the deep snow to the west of the compound .. not sure what it could be .. not a deer .. so am thinking fox or (gads) wolf .. could be a Lynx, or, maybe nothing as dramatic, perhaps a stray passing through.

It's VERY cold here .. somewhere in the high -30sC .. I don't even look anymore .. I KNOW how cold it is when I can't see out the back aluminum door window !!

Off to the bank today to revive a 'dormant account' .. was cleaning a bookshelf, and down behind a set of books was an old bank book!! So .. I took it in last week .. there is money (not much) in the account, but, I have to RE open the account to get it workable again .. will take half an hour or so of paper work .. this will be our 'VET ACCOUNT' .. be nice if it never had to be used !!!.

GURL coffee this aft with friends, Lorna is coming along as well .. she did amazingly well with her new leg yesterday .. it was fitted and is lighter and she feels like a million bucks .. YAHOO .. has even started walking with no walker .. just 2 canes .. am unsure if I want her doing that outside on the ice though.

Lilly had a lovely BDay
Am attaching a pic .. I'm crazy LoL
