| Facetime with Cluny Flat Gramma & Grampa! |
Dec. 19 – My poor Daisy burned her mouth.
Dec. 25th – We did Facetime with our kids and granddaughter Cluny, in Vancouver. I call myself 'Flat Gramma!' It was just the two of us, and we had a quiet day.
Dec. 26 – We had a party! (The kids came to celebrate my birthday!)
Dec. 27 – What a day, a flood! (Hot water tank burst.)JL ran the shop vac (inherited from the previous homeowners), all day. When it filled up with water, it changed sounds. In a Scottish accent, JL would say, "Ae think she's gonnae blow! She's no gonnae take anymore." and he'd run downstairs to empty it. We watched Star Trek: Into Darkness!
Meantime, Daisy went back to the vet for an eye infection. She has more meds, and isn't 100% yet. Yellowy discharge, poor girl. Now, she has it in her other eye. She is feeling perkier, though. She played on the bed with hubby this morning.
Cold weather calls for indoor games! I used to play this with a client in Milford Bay every Tuesday afternoon for two hours. She had lung cancer.

| On Dec. 26th, my birthday, the kids came over. They took our photo! |
This is how cold it is this week.
Dec. 28th – the plumber arrived!
We got up early, expecting the plumber...6:00 a.m. – In preparation for the guy to arrive to replace the hot water tank, we cleaned up some. I moved boxes that had been ruined from the flooding. Hubby moved the car out of the garage.
I moved the dehumidifier out of the way. I'll have to find replacement boxes for things like our extra aquarium equipment. There are two bags of garbage, so far. The floor is filthy, it flooded the area around the kitty litter. sigh. I have much work to do.
8:00 Joey, the plumber, arrived.
Hubby made gave him a fresh, hot cup of coffee. He set up his tools, took away the old tank, and brought in the new! My legs are a bit sore from going up and downstairs every half hour yesterday.
The kids got up, Caitlin made French toast, with the bread I was going to use for garlic toast with our spaghetti the day before! (DUH!)

Off they went home, happily their car started. JL's father is visiting, and they are having a family party. It was comforting that they could be here for two nights. What fun we had.
Voila! I had a hot shower, then ran the dishwasher. For joy! Hubby rented us Dunkirk, and we watched that movie with our feet up.

Struth, you've been kept busy! Some of that polar vortex is hitting over here today - preventing travel. Hopefully, tomorrow can head East... Stay warm you two!!! YAM xx
We have solar tanks on the roof and it's such a wonderful thing as even in winter there are sunny days and so we seldom have to electrically warm the water.
Perhaps, a second opinion, by a different vet, is needed for Daisy's condition.
GGAAAAAA.........we've had that happen a few times. Lost all of our uni. text books in the first flood. We kept them for a reason, geology and forestry reference books.
Hope your FURNACE is okay!
hot water, a blessing that all is well, the plumber arrived, and family had a safe drive home. Cold??? Like Antarctica, they have COLD, and VERY cold. Hope the 26th was a day of happiness, I loved seeing the previous one with a wonderful memory.
What a headache!
Just wanted to stop by and wish you all the very best for 2018. May it bring you joy, laughter and increased communion with nature. David
All of our basement stuff is in those plastic/rubber bins. It might be worth changing over slowly but surely.
Poor Daisy, hope she will be ok.
Glad you got that fixed!
It's the correct diagnosis for Daisy, I think, Duta, but thanks for the suggestion. It's just not the right meds. Now, she has a cold!
Great feeling when that hot water heater is finally installed. Now don't let that furnace motor die! Oh, is that a toilet tank I heard crack! What my toilet cracked! All of these nice things happened to me.
You've had a busy few days! Time to rest. Hope it isn't too cold!
