Early start again this morning as I was off to the Mount for an aquacise class. It was really, really, cold again with a heavy frost and when I left I noticed there was ice on the bottom step of the porch!!!

I arrived at the pools just at the start of the class. the teacher was Shelly who is OKish and at least better than Linda who was on a break for school holidays. The sun was shinning and it was really lovely to be back at the Mount pools - shame it is only for this one Wednesday!

After the class we went across for coffee and sat chatting and it was so warm I had to move into the shade.

On my way home I stopped in for some bananas which I had forgotten yesterday. I also bought a paper to see what had happened to the man who was shot in the head here in Welcome Bay yesterday. It was only a pellet gun and the man is fine but he was shot through the window of his house. Apparently, it is a rough area of Welcome Bay and it was gang related but they have not caught the man yet.

I stopped off at the osteopath for my appointment and I love the massage bit but the stretching can be painful but if it works that will be fine. However, I can't feel much improvement so far.

I got home and made some lunch and then Carol, Avon lady, came to bring my things and we sat chatting. Carol is the mother in law of my osteopath. When I went to the door with her to say goodbye the little kitten from next door came running up the steps and wanted to play. she is so adorable and all fluffy with a really pretty face and I think must be lonely as they are out at work all day and she is a bit young to be left in my opinion. she was playing around our feet and having a great time hiding in all the ornamental grasses in the flower bed at the side of the house - kittens are so cute when they play. I picked her up when Carol drove out to keep her away from the car. The neighbour came home and I put her on the fence and walked up our steps but she followed me and when I closed the door she was trying to get in and climbing up the glass and miaowing and I felt really mean.

I then got Totty ready to go out and the kitten's tail almost trebled in size when she saw the dog and she hid under the porch. When we got back from Our walk I couldn't see her. I shouldn't encourage her to come over as she will get used to it.

I lit the fire and Jon came home and was tired so I made him a cup of tea.

I cooked dinner and my legs are both so sore I can hardly move. I think if there is no improvement by next week I will have to see a doctor.

I then took Tot out
