Archie

The weather improved a bit today, but there was still a high wind and flurries of snow and sleet. It was too warm for the snow to lie.

When I ventured into Hexham the town was relatively quiet, but I met my friend Robert. He was walking Archie (hope I have the correct name) who is a friend's dog.

Robert and I both saw the film last night. He has given me a recommendation for another German film, The Lives of Others, which is available on Netflix, so I can see it.

Beales, formerly Robbs department store, is closing down. It is a sad place to visit. There are lots of things they have bought in for the closing down sale (as far as I could see) but I did find two mugs to match some we have, only £2 each.

Elaine and Margaret (across the road) and Bob all came to see Mum today.

I bought a catnip toy for the catkins. So far they have shown little interest in toys, but Daisy enjoyed worrying this one for about 10 minutes.
