So I am just getting over a serious cold for the last few days and made it to the Gym to day for a pretty good work out. The thing is when this happens then the drugs that I take to control my mood and sleep go out of whack and so does the depression therapy and of course during the holidays. So I went out tonight to take a few pics and play with the high ISO set up on the D300 which I am pretty impressed with.

I plan to go out and try it with a tripod when it becomes a bit warmer the -20 temps tonight were just a little to much for my liking today. Even with the cold weather I haven’t had any problems with my arthritis which I am grateful and hopefully it will get better with the health.

My cat has a new hobby attacking are removing Santa Claus from the window and slapping it around, Polly is not impressed and spends most of the time in the living room scolding poor smokie. I don’t think the cat is listening to her anyway

Three days of snow in Kingston has netted us about a foot on the ground and people are in shock and awe over this. I remember when I first moved to Kingston 20 years ago the lake effect would bring a foot over night and no-one would even say anything, A sign of the times I guess.

the Smokie and Polly show

So this morning greeted me with some great comedy relief. A mouse got in the house and smokie got him good. You would think that he would bring it to you as a gift like most cats do but no he has to play with it and play with it he did. Down to the bedroom with it and Polly starts beaking at him telling him to drop the mouse, i don’t know about anyone elses cats but this one don’t listen to well. He runs under the bed with it and surfaces on the other side missing the mouse so he starts searching and searching all the time Polly with a bag telling him to put the mouse in the bag. Finally the mouse gets dropped by the other cats who all look at the mouse and decide that no effort is the best effort and don’t move. Polly makes another feeble attempt at catching the little mouse and gets into the bag where it wiggles and down goes the bag and out goes the mouse.

Finally another attempt is made with some success and off to the front door to release the mouse. Smokie spends a while looking around and finally goes to sleep for the rest of the day.

So on the health front only in the big toe which is painful enough to confine me to the house again as i wait to see the Dr next week.
