If it is not slippery I am going to walk to my daughters house and they promised a nice beef dinner today.
I have been asked to get some apple pie and cream on the way round from a shop which has just opened which they were told about by my other daughter yesterday as I had a lamb dinner at her house.
Normally I take them out for a meal every other week but not this weekend due to the conditions.
If it is dangerous I will cook myself fish and chips.

I'm thinking about thinking about going to church but haven't made my mind up yet due to weather. Do you go to church Frank?

Isn't life exciting?

I once saw a film, Gloomy Sunday. It was about a song of that title which made people kill themselves. I'm beginning to know how they felt.

annodomini Have you heard of those "pop up restaurants" that appear everywhere now ? seem's we have the same.

Ella46 Sun 24-Mar-13 10:30:48

Why would you want to cook fish and chips if it's dangerous?

nanaej Sun 24-Mar-13 10:32:25

To put a little excitement into life????

nanaej Sun 24-Mar-13 10:32:52

Extreme fish & chip cooking.....

Just been invited to early evening meal by my Japanese neighbour.It will be vegetarian but very good.-and with a noisy accompaniment from their 2 children aged 3 and 18 mths! I babysit for them but can't manage both at once on my own unless they are tucked up in bed .
It's windy and bitterly cold so will stay in rest of the day.
Keep warm and well all

Hope you make it to your daughter's house Frank. Enjoy your lunch. (smile)

I am having a rare Sunday at home. We have no snow but it is bitterly cold. Roast beef dinner and maybe some trashy TV smile

dustyangel Sun 24-Mar-13 12:26:23

DH and I going out for lunch,as a late clebration of our birthdays this week. The sun has just come out so we might be able to sit looking over the local Marina. Very cold winds here but better than snow bound England! Hopefully get to Church tonight, which always seems a bit like cheating.confused

j08 Sun 24-Mar-13 13:20:14

Scotland or Wales*dustyangel? smile

annodomini Sun 24-Mar-13 13:58:19

I am in withdrawal from the 6 Nations Rugby! Just don't know where to put myself. confused

JessM Sun 24-Mar-13 14:11:59

yes indeed anno, it is sad when it ends. Like the athletics season. So short. sad

Grannyeggs Sun 24-Mar-13 14:52:28

Been to church and then long and delicious lunch in the pub round the corner and now feet up with papers and Gransnet. smile

sunseeker Sun 24-Mar-13 15:00:45

Church this morning, now surfing the net instead of getting on with a few bits and pieces around the house! I eat my main meal around 7.00 pm so don't have to start cooking just yet.

Nelliemoser Sun 24-Mar-13 15:34:42

Not a lot! Keeping warm, digging through and scanning a few more old photos. A bit of knitting and telewatching. I just wan't to feel some warmth outside.

sunshine sunshine sunshine

annodomini Sun 24-Mar-13 15:40:13

Didn't intend to go out, but needed essential supplies - i.e. toilet rolls! Need I say that I bought a lot more than that. blush

annodomini It's one of my recurring nightmares that I have invited a great load of people to dinner and just before they are all due to arrive I find that we have run out of loo paper. grin

nanaej Sun 24-Mar-13 16:23:25

Having a lazy-ish day. Tidying up an inspection report before I submit when the DGDs arrived having been to a birthday party in the local church hall. We had a crazy hour playing with the funny plastic toys from the party bags! I gave them a lift home as it felt mean to let them walk up the hill in the the bitter wind. Will have to think about what we are having to eat soon but enjoying R4 A Good Read at the moment!

Also friends coming for lunch tomorrow..shall I cook or go to the pub??? Decisions decisions!

j08 Sun 24-Mar-13 16:41:44

Cooked roast dinner and two puddings. Eaten it all and now slobbing out on sofa with DD watching The Lady Vanishes on catchup. #needtwosofas

Galen Sun 24-Mar-13 17:02:58

Just gor back from visiting DD and DGD in gloucester.

Ordered loads of resources from Amazon for our SA Volunteer team; it took all morning but was quite interesting. All will be delivered straight to Kwazulunatal, obviously. I did find "101 ways to have fun with a football" hard to believe, though! (There was a similar one for netball, BTW)

Then I had a lovely nap; funny how long it takes, now, to recover after a serious night on the tiles!

Theseus is off doing something worthwhile but involving beer too. Meanwhile, wine
