Up The Farway Tree

Nearly Christmas now...3 more sleeps!

I had a lovely weekend going out for dinner with Andrew's mum, dad and gran to a new local restaurant , which was very nice. I forgot to take my anti rejection tablets with me though so had to nip home afterwards and get them...silly girl. I still had them on time, so it was fine but just goes to show how easily these things can slip your mind when you are otherwise busy. I have an alarm on my mobile phone to remind me!

I can't believe it's only 3 more sleeps until Christmas! I am heading home tomorrow so have spent today trying to get organised. I am mostly packed and ready now, and I even gave wee Seb a bath for Santa coming...

Seb just out the bath!

Tomorrow night we are meeting up with friends for dinner which I am really looking forward to, and then Christmas eve it will be the vigil Mass and then a Christmas movie. I have three films to choose from this year, so not quite decided which one yet. Maybe all three!

Before we head home tomorrow I am popping to clinic to get my foot checked out. It's still been playing up a bit and starts to ache when I am walking. A good friend of mines husband is an orthopaedic doctor so is very kindly going to take a look at it as he is doing a fracture clinic tomorrow - at least it will let me know if everything is ok and whether I should be walking on it or not. Also on the medical front I heard from the surgeons secretary today - she showed him the barium swallow results and he has decided the surgery will still be going ahead. I am pleased to hear this and just glad I know what is happening before I go home.

Lastly I will leave you with some pics of Seb wearing his new coat. Now to be fair I am not really into dressing up dogs (apart from bow ties which are entirely different of course) but I am getting fed up of clearing up the mud he brings in on his underside when it's raining. Sometimes you have to shower him off it's so bad! So I was looking for a coat that covered underneath as well. This is the best I could find and I am the first to admit that he looks absolutely ridiculous....but very cute. It's the fact it has wee arm (?) holes like a real coat haha! You have to turn the collar bit down as it annoys him but I left it up for the purpose of the photos......I think he would like to be a model :-)
