Happy Birthday...

To My Mum ♥

Over this winter, my mum has been saying 'It's going to snow... you watch, it's going to snow' x 100 times - & it never did, lol - but this morning, on her birthday, she woke up to lots of it =]

However, I woke up a little freaked out. Last night, Dave was staying at his parents' house & I was on my own. I woke up in the early hours of the morning thinking I'd heard something [I alwayyyys hear things when I'm on my own]! When I finally got up, I looked out my window:

 

& then I looked a little closer...

 
You might think that, my house is right next to the road, so anyone could walk up - but no. Where I live, people do not just walk up other people's driveways. Unfortunately the snow had melted a little when I noticed the footprints & where the wheel of my car is in the picture, is where the tracks disappear - but as you can see the tracks do go back too... I called my mum to ask if she or anyone else [my brothers etc] had called around, but no one had.

There was no mail [obviously, being a sunday] & nothing else posted through the letterbox, so these footprints will remain a mystery for now I guess. I just hope it isn't the Four o'clock Freak - I saw him a few weeks back, one night at around midnight, peering into my bedroom window when I was shutting my curtains, I hate that guy!

As for the rest of my day, I finished pressure washing my patio & gutters, did a lot of gardening & then came in to tidy the house [Kitchen Mainly]. I decided to clean my Tropical Fish tank which ended up taking nearly 2 hours... but my fish [the three I have left!] are happy now & I'm happy I have a tidy, clean kitchen =]

[The water looks a little 'misty' there because it wasn't long after I'd cleaned it & the filter takes time to get the water back to it's usual clarity - the fish are fine - & yes, there are fish in there, somewhere]!

Since today is the 31st of January - it means I have succesfully completed January's NaBloPoMo. Congratulations to the few of you that were also taking part! Don't be suprised If I don't blog tomorrow, It'll be nice to have one day off =P
