Another wintery weekend - antidotes needed

Snuggle under duvet and stay there!

Candy Crush as per the other thread.
This is what I did last week.
Scrabble, jigsaws, Gransnet, download a Laurie Graham (or two) on Kindle, haul up firewood. Eat warming stews from ingredients in bottom of freezer, visit elderly neighbours, bake bread, tidy cupboards.
Go completely stir crazy by Day 3.

I've just ordered a mini kettle for my bedroom. My oh and I always had coffee in bed, but since he died I don't bother.

Jess You have a lot of clearing out to do....... focus!

Thanks for the reminder. I am working on it. And yes, bad weather is an ideal opportunity to get the augean stables cleared out
Baking hot cross buns maybe?

Supposed to be at theatre tomorrow so as long as that happens we'll be cheered up by Alan Ayckbourne. Today it was 2 Sherlock DVDs, home made scones and having the fire on!

I think snuggle down in front of the fire with a good book and my dogs or watch a DVD with DH, hot coffee and good food. Housework can wait, when I see snow I just want to hibernate and get cheesy.

Very happy in front of the wood burner with Gransnet.

Also very happy not to be living in a big city. Big cities during bad weather =
depressing.

I am so dependent on gas for heating and hot water that rumours of a gas shortage have got me slightly apprehensive. I may have to go out and buy an electric heater, but aren't a lot of our electricity stations gas powered nowadays?

Hercules had to do it in just a day, Jess - no time for baking hot-cross-bunnies.

I'm supposed to be flying into Birmingham this weekend!

You are a slave driver butty. The bread maker will do most of the work.
But yes - I will go out box hunting tomorrow morning and lash into the book packing. They are pretty well pruned.

Nothing much planned for this weekend - senior GD has finished her dissertation and is now living it up in Florida - . Next weekend I'm spending Easter in Sandhurst with DS1 and family and hope this weather will change before that. Meanwhile I must get round to editing our U3A creative writing for a slim volume we are preparing for sale to our fellow members. So I suppose that's my job for the weekend, when I can detach myself from my duvet.

Decided to do something towards a holiday and bought a holiday bag, one that is light, can be worn across the body (now trendy again and not 'old lady' at all) and will hold train tickets, passport, spare knickers ............etc.
Feel I can now face a gloomy weekend!

Booked the excursions on my next cruise. Have booked one to the blue lagoon in Ireland. Seemed appropiate!

Iceland not Ireland!

Oh dear, I don't like the sound of all this 'weather'. Due home in 14 days and was hoping Spring might have arrived by then. It will be hard to descend from 28+ to 0 degrees; maybe I should extend my visit!
Hope you are all managing to keep warm and occupied......

Do you want me to meet you at airport with a hotty, shawls and a fur coat?

Thanks for the offer Galen but only if you can make it to Glasgow!

To save you from freezing Gally ?

Can I think on it?
