A day at home as it snowed overnight and again at times and started settling. An early walk with Sam with Della taking Debbie to the bus stop and buying her Saturday sweets and then the rest of the morning sorting out my papers, paying bills and then updating this last couple of days' journal.
A relaxing afternoon watching sport and then to the cinema this evening to watch a corny but good adventure film called "Under Siege".
I arranged to be called especially early this morning and awoke to see a sprinkling of snow on the ground. Out to Sam earlier at 7.15am and then, after a short walk, put him away until after breakfast with Diana and the girls. Della joined me for the walk to the bus-stop with Debbie and then on the local shops where we bought her Saturday sweets - a packet of Rollos and three little chocolate buttons. Sam was bouncy and excitable after a week away from the family and he "kissed" Della by licking her lips, but she was very good about it. The rest of the morning sorting out my papers, paying bills and then updating this last couple of days' journal.

Lunch with the girls and a relaxing afternoon watching TV Rugby League whilst Di received a visit from her mother and nieces. An early run for Sam before tea and then taking Diana to the cinema in Bedford for the evening to watch a corny but good adventure film called "Under Siege" which we enjoyed. Still home early enough for Di's "Casualty" before bed and to see the girls. Poor Della had been rather saddened by the film "Edward Scissorhands" on TV, but we consoled her. It actually snowed at times today with more on the way so that the girls might yet get to build a snowman for the first time in years which would make a change from all this TV.
