    ..already deeply fulfilling . I can now fit my early short walk in at first light in the quietude... Followed by a whole ( collective word for cats, please!) scatter of cats coming through the dawn light. My loving cats! One by one they join in. ... racing and leaping...

    When I got home this afternoon, I found girl dog eating boy dog's food.
    She has a liver tumour and on a special diet, symptom of her condition is not liking the scent of things she would ordinary like.

    I noticed she looked and behaved more energetically in the past few, something as normal as stealing her brother's food, is so heart-warming.

    I have won over my neighbour's two horses with carrots and apples. I'm not a horsey person, but they are susceptible to bribery. When I walk past my neighbour's gate, the whole menagerie appears, three cats, a dog and two horses. The neighbour is tempted to call me Maggie Dolittle.

    Being on your own at a film at the cinema. No-one talking behind you, and less of a mess for the cinema staff to clean up

    Down the lane here are a pair! A huge Spanish mule and a tiny black Shetland that hides under the mule. They wander down here sometimes. But have long memories of the barking dog..

    Saw 4 beautiful cats in a driveway having a feast of meal and I was calling them over and they took one look at me and went back to eating again :3 .

    The scent of hyacinths is intoxicating. Some years ago my cousin was dying in a nursing home, I brought her a hyacinth in bloom, the scent always makes me think of her.

    After eating my own body weight in chocolate this Christmas and having no routine since it started, I'm so glad it's finally over and tomorrow I'm going to gleefully toss the tree onto a compost heap and say adios to the season of overindulgence (before facing the pine needles embedded into the carpet floor).

    No they havent Grace , they are planted for years on the side of the road and I doubt very much the council is going around doing that !! We note them there every year as they are an early bloom but never in January .

    Our first daffodil is fully blooming as of this morning and it's been in the ground about eight years at this stage! I am therefore happy - daffodils are my absolute favourite flowers. This one outside is just so bright and cheerful looking against the dull greens and greys and browns of winter.
