The day has arrived!

 We haven't had the storms like some parts of the country but we have had some very wet and windy days.

Saturday was bright and sunny but cold. We did manage a walk on the prom in the afternoon, so did  a lot of other people and their dogs, all nicely cosy in very colourful dog coats, doesn't this one take the 'biscuit?' 

I speak to all the dogs as we walk along!  It was cold, but I was well dressed with my warm wool cardigan, my wool dress, scarf and gloves and wind proof coat.. the scarf is a very colourful knitted one, but not by me, but by 'Mr Next!!' 

We resisted an ice cream; you might think ice cream on a cold day?? But ice cream eaters can eat it any time, any day! But we did have a coffee from Booths pavement cafe, sitting in the car watching the sea crashing over the rocks. 

Sunday it was wet and very windy, so once again our windows have a thin film of sand on them.. but they can wait for the window cleaner, who is away in Florida, Disney land! He was telling us he takes his family there every January.

We did have a worrying time when there was a power cut, which lasted for over an hour. Dh checked all our electrics but it wasn't just us, as we  could hear house alarms all blaring very loudly outside.. I was concerned as our gas central heating needs electricity to work.. such a relief when it all clicked back on.

Yesterday was very pleasant and after our Welsh Lesson we went out for a Cheese n Ham toastie and coffee and then to the food warehouse to buy some SW meals. Nice to have for those evenings when you don't feel like cooking.

So starting our new week on the SW Food Plan, I did say good bye to 3 pounds last week.

But today the day has arrived to have this catheter removed.. then there is the trial to see if my bladder will work! I'm worried sick, I've slept fitfully?, waking up off and on through the night. It's not the worry of having another catheter, altho I really don't want that, but the pain of not being able to pass urine. Its excruciating, I don't think I can go through that again, so praying hard!
