Far and Away

Hoping for your sake the power doesn't stay off all night hon. It is cold enough here, it would be freezing down where you are. Going to be a long night for you indeed.

Now where else would Tobes be except curled up right next to you @Zoe7 !!

I faced timed Izz before. She was so funny, not knowing where I was!!

Oh that is super cute @Snowie She would have heard your voice and been looking around for you the poor little mite I bet she missed you just as much as you miss her - our little fluffballs are so precious hey

Checked out the outage website and there is no estimated time yet for the power to be back on but suggested to check back after 8pm. Severe weather is the reason (which I did think) so it could be out for hours as the wind and rain is not letting up here at all presently. There is snow down very low as well so it really is going to be a cold night. Tobes will be okay as he will be close to me all night anyway - just need to put on an extra jumper myself nd stay under the doona. It is colder in the bedroom so will stay on the couch tonight - which won't be a drama because I have barely moved from there for the past few days.

I miss her so much. She has been sleeping with D since I have been in hospital so D likes it!

Couch island seems like a good option tonight then hon if your room is colder. Perhaps even a beanie on!

Has been chilly here and snowed close to home but not where I am presently. Must be cold if you are getting snow down very low there @Zoe7

I hope you are able to stay warm tonight and get some much needed sleep sweetie. We don't want you getting any sicker then you already are.

It really could not have come at a worse time for me @Snowie My immune system is not good at the best of times so right now I too am concerned about the cold tonight and how it will affect me with how unwell I have been over the past few days.

It is presently hailing here - it is THAT cold but it is nice to hear it on the roof and hitting the windows. I suspect it will snow overnight also as it is expected to get down to 0 overnight and a maximum of 8 again tomorrow (reached 7 degrees today 🥶).

I bet D loves having Izzy in with her but no doubt as soon as you are back she will be right by your side again - they tend to know who they need to be with our beautiful fur babies. Tobes loves my sister but soon runs back to me when he is scared - they know who they 'belong' to 🐶

Cat has just come out looking for her night biscuits - I didn't see her come out ('cos it is so dark lol) but heard her hahaha! She needs to wait a bit longer though otherwise she will be up looking for her breakfast too early in the morning.

@Snowie Great news - the power is back on - yippeee!!!!

ohh @Zoe7 I am glad the power is back on hon, you can crank up the heater now. Hopefully it doesn't go out again. You might as well live up at the snow, if it is going to get down to 0 degrees. Snowie would be in her element 😉

They certainly do know who their favourite is (and second favourite!) she always sleeps with D when I am not at home and once I get home, straight back with me.

Hopefully Cat can wait a bit longer, you don't want her up too early in the morning annoying you.

I really hope you can get some sleep tonight hon.

I love the snow @Snowie There is a peace and tranquility about it I don't think it will settle here though as it has been raining most of the day and is too wet. It is very low on the hills though - the mountain is covered and it is quite beautiful. If it clears enough to see it tomorrow I will take a photo and post it to you

I am really happy the power is back on because I was quite worried about my health overnight. I tend to get cold easily and get sick as a result - and I could not deal with that right now. The last few days have not been pleasant at all. My stomach has settled though so that is making it a lot better - now to regain some energy so I can go back to work. Eating was really difficult so hoping now that I have managed that today I can start regaining some energy.

Cat is still sitting in the kitchen waiting for her biscuits - she really does rule the roost lol I will feed her now as it is close to her normal time.

More hail here - might watch that out the kitchen window for a while.

I love the snow too @Zoe7 It has a peacefulness and tranquility to it. It really is my special place. Unfortunately because of covid we couldn't spend long up there this year but will be looking forward to going back up there next year.

No, you need to start getting better and get your energy levels back up hon. Work can wait and will still be there, just concentrate on getting yourself better hon.

Yeah covid has buggered up a lot of what is enjoyable to so many @Snowie but I am glad you got to the snow for a short period this year and hope next year it will be longer for you. I haven't been to the snow in over 10 years. The last time I went was with a group of high school kids. I actually did 2 overnight excursions in the same week with 2 different groups - that was one loooong, tiring week!

If this weather continues this week we may have snow at our doosteps though - we will certainly have it falling at school as it is pretty close to the mountain.

I agree - it is more important I get better. One of the good things to come out covid is that we are not to 'soldier on' if we are not well so I don't feel at all guilty for not being at work. If I continue to improve I will be there on Thursday though - I still need that structure and I do miss the kids.

I really hope sleep comes tonight hon @Zoe7

Will check in on you tomorrow to see how you are going.

Goodnight sweetie, loved chatting to you tonight 💜💛❄
