You're as cold as Ice

Inch thick in places, thick enough for me to slide on???

Only one way to find out...

 

Greedy cat

 I cooked a roast chicken yesterday and the cat was pestering us whilst we were eating.  I put her outside so we could eat our lunch in peace.  She found a new vantage point.

Arthur's a wanted man

 Arthur is applying for an Australian passport so we thought we'd have a little fun.

Arwen loves the cuddles

 Arwen enjoyed the snow yesterday.

It's mostly gone today though, shame.

Channeling my inner Gandalf

 The cleaners were one cleaner down today which meant I had to take the dog out for an extra long walk whilst they were cleaning downstairs.  Arwen loved the new walk.  I think it could be a new regular walk if given the time.

It's supposed to be -9 tonight in Tonbridge.  Brrr...  I don't think it's been that cold overnight since we moved here.

Extension update

 We've just found out that our planning application for our extension has been approved.  Woo hoo!

Car update

 So, the car was valeted last week but when they returned it the smoke smell was still there, the driver took it back so we're stuck with the courtesy car whilst they try something else.  They've basically paid £500 to get a special biohazard clean.  I think this is what they use to get rid of the smell of dead bodies.

I should get our car back today, although if it still smells or smells badly of something else we'll need to swap it out for a new car or get our money back.

Job update

 I was due to start my new contract this Monday coming but there's been delays with some of the referencing and criminal record checks so it looks like it's now been postponed.  Pretty frustrating as I can't really do anything with the time off and I don't earn if I have time off.

Arwen update

 So, after the initial review by the vet we took her back in the next day for a check up.  The vet didn't think Arwen had sight in her right eye.  It was still pretty swollen, red and there were no responses to the various tests.  They recommended we go to a specialist and they managed to see her that day.

After the appointment the new vet was pretty worried and basically confirmed what our local vet was saying.  She gave her some steroids and some eye drops and told us to come back in a few days to see if there was improvement. 

Thankfully there was and she was getting a response to some of the tests.  I'm due back again tomorrow to see if there is any further treatment.

You wouldn't notice anything was wrong with Arwen in her behaviour, she's been as energetic as ever.

Stupid dog.
