It thawed enough and didn't freeze again, which made all the difference. I was able to get the car out onto the road. Wink and Pam didn't come, which I'm glad about, it could have really been a disaster for their health. I was so cold that I didn't really defrost until I spent half an hour in a very hot bath that evening.
Today, I took eCat for her annual vaccination and checkup, which went well. She's lost an appreciable amount of weight, to my surprise - I do weigh her food so that Wink and I don't just give her everything she wants. Then Wink had a dentist appointment in Norwich and I had a contact lens check - luckily, the times gelled.
I'm most grateful for my eyesight. I always recognise that it could all go awry, but it hasn't yet. My eyes are still fine - more than fine, for my age. Last year, I had to have new glasses because the sight in my left eye has improved. This year, a new contact lens prescription because my right eye is better. From -2 to -1.75 in each case, so not much and it's just tweaking. I'm incredibly grateful, though.
I let eCat out 15 minutes ago, because she asked - obviously, she has a perfectly good cat flap - and it was just starting to drizzle. I just went to call her in and there's no sign of her, so I suspect she's either whinged at Wink's back door or else used the aforementioned cat flap. The forecast isn't good, she's not outside in this wind and rain.
And she's just come to say hello, sensible girl.
