Where's the sunshine and warmth?

Thank you for comments, as always, I do appreciate the support.  Our landlords are certainly going to town on the house next door....new internal doors have been delivered this morning.  Pity they're not spending as much money on our house....but then do I want the noise and the added nuisance of the workmen in our house?  We've been told they will be coming to lay insulation in our loft - we've had none in the 6 years we've lived here, despite asking for it.  Husband went up there a couple of years ago and put down a few old duvets on the part of the loft that's over our bedroom - better than nothing.

Hasn't the weather been horrible?  Heavy rain on and off all day yesterday - good for the garden, of course, but meant another day stuck indoors for us.  This morning it's not a lot better....drizzly rather than heavy showers, but very overcast and miserable.  And it's so cold!!  Well into May and we've put the heating on.  My hot flushes seem to have disappeared, for the last few weeks I've changed to feeling the cold a lot.  Don't know what's worse!

I didn't do the banking and budgeting yesterday, just couldn't be bothered, I really didn't want to do it.  Husband's out this morning though and it needs to be done, so I shall crack on and do it in a minute whilst it's relatively quiet, the plumbers are in next door but so far they're not making much noise, hopefully they got all the drilling done yesterday.  I hope so, it really was driving me to distraction yesterday.  I reckon our landlords should waive our rent for a month, as an appeasement for all the noise.....I don't hold out much hope of that though.

I actually slept for 5 straight hours last night, a minor miracle.  Got off to sleep very quickly and didn't wake up until 04.15.  Had to get up for a wee and, as usual, couldn't get back to sleep after that, so eventually gave up and went downstairs just before 05.00.  I dream of sleeping the whole night through - well, I would if I could actually sleep!!

Finally, a pic of my lovely Betty, taken this morning when she was having a snooze under the desk....she gets up out of her crate bed under the stairs in the morning, and immediately gets in the one under the desk, as if she hasn't had enough sleep (she's such a teenager!):-

And I get to look at that gorgeous squidgy face every day!
