Blue Monday

Well it's snowing here Nonu and looks really pretty, and my old school friend is coming over from Penrith tonight for a meal, as it's her birthday tomorrow. We have been friends for 52 years, ever since she sat in the desk behind me on our first day at grammar school
I've made Granjura's cherry trifle for pudding and there's a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge so I'm feeling quite contented!

doesn't seem five minutes since last year's blue Monday!

It snowed last night but now it's raining. Blue? No, just a miserable grey.

Beautiful, bright,cold and sunny winter day here. Snow forecast tonight and local paper panicing as usual!!!!! Stay in, do not venture forth, the big freeze is upon us. YES!!!!! Its winter, and we expect it. I have snow drops flowering outside, bulbs are poking their heads through already and the blackbirds are going loopy, all fighting each other at the moment!!!! Get through this cold snap, hopefully it will kill off all the b....y slugs. The evenings are pulling out at last. Im just looking on the positive side

g m a there is frost and snow on the way. the blossom will die. there will be no apples.

I hope the blackbirds make it though

the slugs are deep in the ground. having babies

I can totally agree with that Nonu sitting at work dealing with all the rubbish that is thrown at us every Monday morning. Outside it is slushy, freezing cold and snowing. It's dark and lonely in my office (as I tend to be mostly alone) and yes, this is most definitely a Blue Monday

I'm nit feeling blue. I am playing with my kindle fire

We had quite a bit of snow overnight in Cambridgeshire. Very pretty to wake up to and after a couple of hours of bright sunshine it's now very overcast and has just started to snow again. Had a houseful of visitors for lunch yesterday so I'm not feeling blue....more like knackered!

I like this weather. it demands nothing of you.

Gillybob ,

A [hug ] winging it"s way .

Only a few more hours left .

Thank you Nonu I feel better already !

Jane , I not going to lie , I REALLY LOVE SNOW .

enjoy your trifle and wine .

I am going to watch Mrs Brown"s Boys that everyone is talking of .

It looks lovely when you are warm, dry and curled up indoors Nonu but I hate the commute to work, the school run and trudging around in it (especially when it turns slushy).

Enjoy Mrs Brown's Boys.

Thanks , G. let you know what I thought !

Mind you Gillybob , we are off to Bournville , Thursday , so will be on school run for a few days .

Perhaps Grandad can do it alone ???

Thanks for cheering me up j07 regarding the slugs!!!!! I will get ALL the little b.....s this year!!!!! 6 blackbirds having a bit of punch up in garden at the moment, pidgeons just sitting on top of greenhouse watching! I am on school run this afternoon, perhaps I should take survival rations and shovel!!! No snow here yet.......

I'm at work and distinctly grumpy, as I'm also Doc I expect to soon be the rest of those virtually challenged fictional beings.

The old gardening bloke whose name I can't remember, (passed away now) recommended watering in liquid metaldehyde on Valentines Day. Kills the little baby ones too. # bit mean

Can we have a translation please jens

Should have read vertically dam iPad, I'm obviously Dopey as well.

Oh! I get it!!!

Well it sure is blue here! - GP has just rung to say he has spoken to consultant on phone and the latest plan is to put my leg back in plaster!! - I have been off my feet now for 3.5 months and this just feels like going back to square one. I am in an airboot at the moment. I've had enough of it all today!
