New seat

Juliette changes her resting place every few weeks. She has abandoned the pouffee she thought we had bought her and which she immediately took charge of. Then she spent a couple of weeks on top of the boiler cupboard . Now she has claimed a chair in the study. Ian has got his lap back - well, Soft Cell hasn't had to fight for a lap spot.

A very grey miserable day, weather wise. It started with a heavy frost and the fields opposite were completely white. It looked beautiful. But by 9.30am the fog had begun to descend, and it has been wet and cold all day.
