Homeschooling has been abandoned this week, the birthday boy (6 today) can just be seen with his red sled ❄️☃️
How do I bring this issue up with our neighbours?
How do you hang your washing out?
Thought this might amuse some of you!

Welcome dear Kitcheners. I shall pour the cocktails. Make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the wonderous food provided in the buffet.
Now that you all have a place to relax, I shall leave you to enjoy your first evening in this truly special kitchen. 
GG13 Good fun. Wish I was 6 again and out on my red sled 
.
-23° recorded at Braemar. 
. and I'm moaning because it's currently 0° here (Cornwall).
Morning all,
In a fit of madness Grampy thought a walk in the forest was a good idea this morning. -5 !! Let me say that again ..... -5!!!!
It was beautiful though but oooh the wind was whistling through the trees. Lots of jets overhead from the nearby bases but they are tricky to get a shot of .
Sam was in his element and feeling lots better. I'll post a couple of pics.
Happy day all xx
Good afternoon lovely peoples. I have a few photos to share with you.
Galen I hope that you've had a restful night. I've yet to spend a quiet night in a hospital bed. I always enjoy rice pud if it's on the menu.
BladeAnnie You have my respect.
Urmstongran Whenever there is a funeral in our village, there is almost always a lone piper. A very moving sight and sound.
Still no snow. Bright and cold but ice-free. We believe that "our cat" and Whitehouse gent's cat are not the same. It's impossible for one cat to be in two locations at the same time.
GrannyGravy Happy day sledging, Birthday Boy!

N&G What a joy to see that our Sam is looking bright eyed and bushy tailed.
muse Wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air. It's good for us, apparently.
Phone call this morning. The dentist is now officially able to use the drill. I'm to return for treatment that was postponed a few months ago. Hip-hip-hoo-bloody-ray.
Yiayia "having a bit of a low day..." We've all have that experience during these testing times. There have been days when, I'm ashamed to say, I have wanted to remain in bed. Something inside compels me to make an effort. It won't always be like this. (hugs)
Lins It is a wind that cuts into the bone marrow. The weather will improve. Warmer days are promised and we'll all feel the sunshine on our faces once again. You mark my words.
If anyone can remember which Gran asked me to save some flower seeds for her, (some time ago now) I would be very grateful, as I've a few stored away for her husband.
Fern has arrived for early supper. She's in the utility room.
A lovely end of day. A fishing boat has chugged by and the gulls are accompanying it on it's way.
Until tomorrow, TOYA.
I'd love a wave from Ann too!
Lots of lovely photos again today. We had to go out to out petrol in the car - don't know who has been using it - and saw these amazing ice formations where the road nearly always has a big puddle. They had obviously frozen as they landed. Beautiful.
Gale, you really must take more water with it. I'm glad you are sounding so chirpy.
yiayia, I'm sorry you are feeling low. Keep coming to soop's wonderful kitchen and we will try to cheer you up.
Off to make pasta bake. TOYA.
Galen
Now I’ll go and catch up with the rest of the kitcheners.
‘Evening All’

Lovely snow picture GG13 with the little dot who is the birthday boy on the red sled Snow sent just for his birthday - one to remember!

What an evocative description soop. So calming.
I could say in comparison the 256 bus into Manchester city centre has just pulled away from the bus stop below us, all lit up ... with 2 passengers aboard.
?
Not similar nor picturesque!
Finished the novel I was reading earlier. ‘The Thursday Murder Club’. It was pretty dire. I only stuck it to the end because our Yorkshire Lass bought it for me as a Christmas present!
Wishing everybody a pleasant and peaceful night. x
‘Goodnight All’.
Urm I had my doubts about the book. It had lots of hype.
Yiayia You have my sympathies. After too many of those last year, I bought a 2021 diary. It's been very cathartic for me. Page a day. Sometimes I could do with more than one page.
To help me through a low day I read an entry I made at the end of a much more agreeable day
Husband is sat at the table surrounded by O rings. Mya has done all she needs to do on her evening walk so it's bed for me.
I read that book and was disappointed too Urmston.
Our kitchen gallery of photo’s yesterday was a feast for the eyes. How wonderful is technology that we all get to share them?
Yiayia hope today is better for you.
Chinese New Year today so we have a 3 course meal from Waitrose Chinese range to look forward to tonight.
DH had his jab yesterday and so far has only complained of a bit of a sore arm. It was the Pfizer one.
Leaving a vase of spring blooms - Daffodils & Cheerfulness. I’ve placed them somewhere cool so they will open slowly.
Sorry they’re not edible but I’m sure one of our baking Grans will call into the kitchen soon with tempting goodies?
Wishing all a good day.
How are you today YiaYia?
Puzzle61 - We were both Pfizerred a week ago now. A bit of a sore arm too with us but gone in 48 hrs. No other side effects. Can't wait for my daffs (Cornish Chuckles) to open up and there will be a vase inside too. Planted 30 more bulbs last year .
Poorly Mya again. Had 8 normal days then woke up to more this morning. Calling the vet but didn't know what it was last time. New diet now for 2 weeks. She's not been off the lead for a week so I can make sure she doesn't eats anything else besides her food.
Hope today improves.
I'll pop back later tonight. Stay safe everyone
Greetings to Yiayia I'm sending you some west coast of Scotland sunshine. Stay well wrapped up against the chilly wind.
Galen Us lot trust that you are behaving and feeling well rested.
muse Poorly Mia needs more tender loving care and gentle, get well soon snuggles.
Thank you Puzzler, golden flowers for sunny thoughts.
Urms the 256 into Manchester... You have made me laugh. Bless you.
Back in a few minutes. A certain black cat is hoping for a hearty lunch.
