Another chilly start to the day this morning. The dog was not impressed now his fur is shorter. He was shivering in the car until the heater got going properly.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores today. Breakfast was cereals, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is seafood pasta and garlic bread.
I'm at the hairdressers tonight so the other half will be walking the dog.1 -
