It was a lovely sunny if cold, day today so we headed off to the beach to blow the cobwebs away and have a walk. It felt good to stretch my legs, and after walking the prom together I let James wander back himself while I walked on the sand and dodged the waves a bit. It was so beautiful, sunny and crisp with the sun low in the sky.

After we went to the independent coffee shop we like on the beach front, then did a bit shopping before heading home.

Tomorrow I'm going to the vets with Kayleigh and mam's cat, then to the cinema on the afternoon with James. The weather is supposed to turn overnight to snow/sleet, so it looks like getting out today was good timing.

The washer is working again. It was the socket that was the problem when I looked properly I could see it had blown and damaged the plug, so that needed replacing but once that was done the washer worked fine. Which was a huge relief. Right now I'm using an extension to another socket because no way am I using the one behind the washer again. It's on an outside wall, just along from the outside tap and I wonder if water from that is leaking somehow as the washer stopped working after I'd been using the outside tap to clean the litter trays. It shouldn't cause problems like that, but obviously, something is, so I intend to get an electrician out to check things over asap.

That sounds nice,the weather was much the same here too.

Hope everything goes well tomorrow! What are you thinking of seeing? (We have a similar weather warning too)

That’s good!

yeah, water & electricity aren't mixy - you're wise to avoid using that socket until you can have it checked. and if it turns out the tap is leaking, probably need to wait until it's fixed before using the socket

It sounds like an absolutely glorious day and I'm so envious :-)

I hope it's just a regular check-up and nothing wrong with the kitty? I hope you won't get any sleet. It's so dreary!

That's excellent news! But yes, getting an electrician to check over the wiring in your kitchen is definitely a good idea. You don't want to take chances with wiring!

I'm glad the washer is working again, and I'm glad you're getting that socket checked out. <3

congrats on your continued washer existence :D

I'm glad the washer wasn't damaged. And I'm glad you got to go out for a walk. \o/

The beach sounds fantastic! And I'm glad to hear the washer itself is not at issue, though it sounds very smart to have the electric setup checked.

Sounds like a WONDERFUL day <3

I'm so pleased your washer's working okay :D good news!

[turps]

It was an excellent day. Getting out for a good walk was just what I needed.

That and a working washer, anyway *g*

I really enjoyed my walk at the beach, and it was much needed.

And am thrilled the washer was okay.

I really enjoyed my walk at the beach. It was cold but not so much it was an issue.

Yeah, the electric socket really needs checking. Blocking it off is fine for now, but a professional needs to have a look.

[turps]

Water and electricity are a terrible mix. I'll be getting the socket checked for sure.

It was such a beautiful day, which is good as it's been so grey since.

Megan, mam's cat, has a skin condition that means she needs monthly steroid injections. We've taken on paying for her insurance that mam set up, and am so glad that she did as each visit would be around £100 otherwise.

It was great news, but I'm still checking things out.

[turps]

I would be lost without a washer, and yeah, that socket will be getting checked out.

[turps]

congrats on your continued washer existence :D

Lol, thank you.

It was such nice weather that day, shame it didn't last.

We eventually went to see A Dog's Way Home. It was okay, totally predictable but easy watching.

[shadowhive]

Aww it is a shame

Ohh I’ve not heard anything about that, but I guess it’s about dogs

[turps]

Ohh I’ve not heard anything about that, but I guess it’s about dogs

It is. I'm sure it's really for kids but as we have the unlimited card we go to see anything that catches our eye. It's about a dog that gets separated from its owner and then takes two years to walk cross country to get back to him. As I said, predictable as anything, but still a heart-warming ending.

[shadowhive]

My detective skills are on point 😁

Awww that’s sounds so sad but also sweet, poor dog getting lost. Yeah I’d see all the things if I had a card like you do too
