17th January 2026
Things were not working for me today, I couldn’t get in the mood to do anything, and anything I tried to do I didn’t enjoy. So what a day.
Winnie was being annoying, Kelli was on edge, trying to do stuff in the kitchen, Pheobe was snapping at Winnie, it was a shambles.
I had to drive to the nearest hardware shop to get some screws to fit some knobs for the two matching side tables, the car battery was flat because some idiot (me) must have left something on, but as we still had Kelli’s mum’s van I managed to jump start it.
I had a cabinet to build for the equipment I have in my music room. I cut up all the plywood but realised I didn’t have enough to complete it.
It snowed most of the day, not much but a constant fully of flakes.
I had lots of things in my head that I wanted to do but I didn’t feel it was appropriate to leave Kelli trying to do her stuff, so I spent time playing with the dogs. I know there are sacrifices to be made, and on the whole she is a good pup, but often she goes spiky, and that sometimes means she needs a piss and a poo. This can occur every fifteen minutes, and, she has now found the bird seed that has dropped from the feeder ( thanks Phoebe) both dogs have their noses buried in the snow scoffing the seeds, and not taking any notice when I call them in.
It really is one step forward, two steps back.
