Saturday - Cold with lots of snow.

I went to bed very late last night, somewhere around 4 I think. F was asleep long before me. I woke up around 10 when my alarm went off. I stayed in bed a bit longer and got up around 11.  F was in bed for ages, he never really got up in the morning. 

I wanted to go out shopping today because I used up a few of our kitchen staples yesterday, so I decided I might have to shovel snow. F was sleeping, so I went downstairs with my coat and opened the front door. I looked out and very nearly closed the door again! There was so much snow out there. So much. 

Before I left the house. Yes, that is F's car under all that.

I went outside and had to wade through the snow just to get the shovel. I took a few minutes to get the steps cleared off again, and then did a lot in the area. I got the step area done and then I had to go and do around the car. I got to the road. Of course, the snowplough had gone through overnight. I cleared a lot of snow today! I thought F might come out and help or something, but he didn’t. In fact, when I went back inside, he was still in bed watching YouTube. 

After my hard work. I think I deserve a medal!

After a little rest, I tried to suggest that we should go out.  I did suggest that we have a bite to eat before we went out. I offered to heat up my casserole from yesterday, get out a couple of bagels and just generally grab a snack. It turned out more like a meal. We heated up the living room,  I made some miso soup and we all had a nice meal. I had made some chicken salad and tuna salad. We really did have a good nosh. 

After dinner, I washed most of the dishes, but F came and did a few near the end. 

We went upstairs. I still expected that we’d go out, but F’s stomach wasn’t good again, so he just vegged. We didn’t go out. Sigh. It got late and although F offered to take me out, I told him no. If we had got stuck somewhere, it would be horrid to dig ourselves out then. 

We had a quiet night in. I watched a little YouTube and some TV, ate some popcorn and did a little crochet. Or a lot, I guess it depends how you think of it.  The blanket is growing. I think it is almost a third done. Woot. 

And really that is my day. I really hope that F is up to going out tomorrow because I haven’t been out of the house, except for snow shovelling, since Tuesday and I need to get out and get groceries and something from the drugstore for my heel. It’s cracked and very painful. Poor me!

I am almost out of here. Come back later if you like and read all about my Sunday adventures. Until tomorrow….
