Out in the world

I'm getting on fine with Frugal February so far, and have embraced supermarket "value" brands which are very cheap. The low cost cheese tasted absolutely fine in our mac'n'cheese last night, and James seems happy with the own brand butter despite his initial doubts. However Davie has drawn the line at the "Tesco value diet cola" and go has declared that he will buy his own Diet Coke from now on. Fine by me.

In other news, I went for a walk today to build up my stamina for my return to work. I felt as weak as a kitten setting off into the frosty morning (not that our kittens are weak - they are all muscle and bones). However the sun came out and I enjoyed being outside and felt quite invigorated. Having the kittens around has been great over the last couple of weeks, they are so funny and affectionate. They know all the household noises now and ran to meet me when they heard me opening the front door. It has also been really good to spend time with Davie, who constantly amazes me with his scientific knowledge and well thought out and mature views on world news, including the grim news this week regarding the murder of the young Jordanian pilot. 

John Donne told us that no man is an island but Voltaire advised us to tend our own gardens - I myself have absolutely no idea how to make the world a better place.
