21st January

Snow pony!

It now feels as if we have had snow for ever, it is in fact four days, which, I suppose is quite a long time.
 The roads here have remained passable, the worst time was Friday lunchtime when I called in at the vets.
 It snowed on and off for most of Saturday, stopped overnight, and then snowed again on Sunday.
Despite the forecast it was only touching on freezing this morning and later we had some sunshine, in all a very pleasant day. The snow, however, remains on trees as well as on the ground and although there is no more significant snow forecast, with the temperature due to drop, it is likely to be here for a while.

Angel had her stitches out. Her Seratoma  had returned, but unlike Friday, it was Jane who saw us. She said that exercise made little difference, removed the stitches and let the fluid drain out over the surgery floor! Apologies to the squeamish among you, one way to start a Monday morning, I actually found it less disturbing than the 'syringing' and it looked a whole lot more comfortable for Angel!
 Jane warned that it could come back but to 'just ignore it,' as it would eventually 'settle down.'
