Hi all,
Just a quick note.
Lovely, lovely day today. For the first time in 3 months, it got above 45 degrees, farenheight. What with the heavy rain yesterday and last night, and the mild temps today, much of the ice is gone--not all, still had some slips today. I hate ice, bleh!
Of course, it will take more that a bit of rain and one day of spring-like temps, to get rid of all the snow--think it might be another month, before we see our lawns again. 
Anyway, found I'd run out of cat food, and took a bus to the store--naturally, I didn't feel I needed my new pair of wellies to go shopping. Ha! Standing at the bus stop, every other car hit this big, cold, dirty puddle and my legs got a rather muddy bath, at times--when I wasn't being peppered with roadspray from passing cars. Ah well...that'll teach me.
Have to go for eye tests. Seems over the weekend, I abruptly lost part of the vision (well, already an inzey bit blind in the corner of my right eye), in my eye--there's some mysterious swelling there. They don't know if it's infection or my retinitis, acting up. No big deal, I'm coping with it, just like everything else. panic serves nothing, but to add to my stress--and, I've known for about 7 years now, that I was going blind in that eye, eventually, anyway. My great-gran was blind in both eyes, as well as my aunt Mary, when she got older, and they both managed okay.
I read where there's been a lot of UFO sightings in the UK. I even incorporated it into my latest Dr Who story--both stories will likely be deleted from my files, when done--golly, they are such rubbish! Dull.
Hear the latest sighting is of a pink ball of light, floating over London.
Too bad it wasn't two pink balls--then they'd have positive evidence of the world's first gay UFO.
