Friday 23rd December 2011

Compared to yesterday, what a miserable day. I took Rosie for a very wet walk and then she decided she would much rather lie in front of the log burner. It’s a dog’s life.

I went to buy Cyprus Star, which as often happens this time of year had no new news in it but a lot of pictures of pre Christmas celebrations.  I have to say reports of SOS Secret Santa, make little (or rather NO) mention of the 3 years work that our committee had to do with it. I must have dreamt it!

Then  I read the pets section in the Star, entitled “10 Safety Tips for the Holidays.” The tenth one I found very interesting.

Keep a list of Emergency phone numbers for your pet. You should always have the contact information for your vet, a 24 hour pet hospital and the Animal Poison Control Centre easily accessible.”

I agree wholeheartedly. Yes, I have my vets number but perhaps someone could tell me where the “24 hour pet HOSPITAL” is and I would also be very interested to hear where the “Animal Poison Control Centre” is.  That would be extremely useful. Answers on a postcard please! OR surely any newspaper worth its salt would inform you of the phone numbers in the article??!!

I am still sifting through bargains and of course a lot of the sales are starting now. One that may be of interest to travellers see link. OR this one for the kitchen. I don’t know what I would do without mine see link and that really is an excellent price.

Do you need a cheap room in the UK between 1st Jan and 10th Feb? If so, see link

In the evening we went to Al Shaheens for a meal with Robin and Christa. It was a really good meal but a bit chilly in the restaurant with one calor gas fire between the 10 of us who were dining there. It didn’t spoil the evening though.
