The sleet that had fallen yesterday had frozen, across the road at Larry’s place someone had turned up to get a snow plough repaired.
I could hear the sound of ratcheting tools frantically working in the cold air.
Lots of truck drivers around with ploughs on the front, and many earn extra money cleaning roads and driveways.
These are definitely days that I do not want to work outside, unless fleece lined clothes are the order of the day.
Kelli had a doctors appointment this morning, so first we had to lure Milly into the cage, this was before her walk, so she is still pretty lively.
Eventually, with the aid of a couple of treats we did it, then it was off to Plato’s. Did I mention that, yes Kelli was delving even deeper into her closet and found more clothes she didn’t need. It’s like finding a new seam of gold, you have to chip away for a while, then it’s revealed. Not that the closet ever looks empty, what remains has a chance to breathe again, and you can hear the sigh.
Typical Kelli, she waited until the very last minute to leave Plato’s, giving herself ten minutes to get to Zeeland. However that was not taking into account the two cars in front of her trying to join the main traffic. These two vehicles had nowhere to go, there was no movement even when there was obviously gaps in the traffic.
With the clock now ticking down a few blasts on the horn signalled her frustration. In most of my driving life the number of times I’ve had to use the horn could be counted on one hand, but here, our vehicle may need a horn service.
Anyway we were a few minutes late for her appointment, now for some bone clicking.
Another Lifetime to go
