Birthday

Today the weather was especially windy so our walk with the dogs was quite an experience. I think I may need to fill the bottom of the pram with weights in future to stop it blowing away. Kitty was well prepared however in her snow suit and seemed to enjoy the extreme conditions.

I received lots of cards for my birthday and some nice presents too.

New slippers from mum and dad. Always useful on a stone floor.

A beautiful cushion from Peahead. He had noticed me cooing over it in a magazine, so ordered it for me as a surprise. Way too over priced for a cushion, but I do love it. Thanks, Peahead.

I also spotted this intriguing little parcel on the piano after Peadhead had gone to work, but have resisted opening it. I'll wait until he gets home.

I got quite a bit of money from mum, dad and mama. Much appreciated. Not sure what I'm going to buy yet, but I'm considering a few different things - a little blender as I will need to start making food for Kitty in a month or so and the one I have is really rubbish. I have also been wanting a 'FURminator' for ages. I have been put off buying one before as they seem quite expensive for a pet brush, but apparently they are amazing. A new pair of boots might be good, as after 8 years (!) the ones I have are starting to look pretty scruffy. I wanted to knit Kitty a new cardigan for when she starts nursery, so some nice wool would be good too. Actually, I could probably get most of the things on my wish list - thanks guys!

I finished Kitty's little hat and have started on an orange tank top using some nice Rowan wool I have had for a while. I'm not sure there will be enough though, so I may have to put some kind of pattern on the front using a different wool. Should be ready for Christmas.

I bought Kitty a little teether as she is chewing everything in sight. It's especially good as it clips to her top so she doesn't lose it.
