Good morning from a damp and cold Essex by the sea. We are forecast snow tomorrow ❄❄❄.
I had a much better night and I'm trying to stay positive and look to a brighter future.
We will have a brisk walk later and I'm sure there will be some kind of sport on tv for DH this afternoon.
DD1 facetimed yesterday as all 3 girls wanted to talk to me. So nice to see their faces. I'm attaching a picture that Carys aged 9 drew. I was very impressed with it.
Have a pleasant Saturday and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from Glasgow. Still dark and frosty outside but a sunny day is forecast although too cold to footer about outside.

The usual performance of giving the cat her flea treatment. She seems to sense it’s that day again, does everything to avoid us until eventually DH manages to pick her up and I can then apply her treatment which doesn’t bother her. Goodness knows what she thinks we are going to do to her but it’s the same performance every month. ?

Choices from the to do list will be ticked off and give me some small sense of achievement. ?

Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning from Shropshire where it’s a very chilly start.

DH loves a fry up.I don’t like the smell but now the idea is there will suggest he has one today.He always used to call Friday, fry day as I started work early so he could fry to his hearts content knowing the smell would be gone by the time I got home!

Up early as got a chap coming to look at the roof at 8am.A large chunk of cement landed on the patio during the torrential rain the other day.Still pitch black so not sure he will be able to see the roof.

Hoping that Cherry and Mary are feeling better.

Thinking of all with illness and worries?

Good morning all from a frosty Derbyshire. I've just been out for a walk and it's starting to snow. Hopefully not too much.

I think I'll stay in the warm for the rest of the day as I'm not on ? duty today. Yesterday I was pushing a wheelbarrow up and down a muddy field transferring bales of hay from one store to another. I think I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder as it's been painful since.

Hope everyone had a good night and Saturday is kind to us all.

Good Morning everyone from frosty Severnside. I think if we put on one of Scentias smiles and stepped outside it would be frozen on for the day.

Gagagran day I had two Parsley Box meals about an hour apart as I was still hungry. I do feel they have a place though as they are easy to store and probably good if you feel poorly. I’m thinking I might get a box each winter.

I’ve been watching some of the old WILTY. I don’t know what funny thing I was watching one day and I laughed out loud, then thought that was so good to hear, the sound of my own laughter whilst on my own. I had a laugh at the kiss chase yesterday ?

My dentist is now doing routine appointments so I made one yesterday. It’s not for a couple of months and I’m ok about that because although I’m confident of care and precautions they will have in place I’ve still got a bit of that ‘frightened of the dentist’ feeling left from olden days.

I’ve messed up my prescription online order service and don’t really know how to fix it. I’m going to wait until life is more like we used to know and ask at the surgery. In the meantime I’ll email my request to them.

Take care and stay warm and safe all ?

Good morning Mick and all from a frosty S Hants, got up as the heating hadn’t kicked in, so I’ve put it on, something to look at later. We’re eating odd bits from freezer tonight, husband chicken and me liver as he’s gone off it, got some lovely greens delivered the other day, so I’ll have some of that. A walk if the ice goes, I’m increasingly aware of it as I age, no slip ups needed at the moment!
Have a safe day all.

Good morning from Cumbria! It is dark, cold and dry at the moment. Slept well till 3.45 and have been wide awake since! Have had 2 cups of tea, written a long e mail, done the ironing and put a wash on. Going out cycling once it is a bit lighter. Will probably need a sleep this afternoon! Have a peaceful and happy day everyone. Special thoughts to those with illnesses and worries.

Good morning to one and all from a chilly but dry Torbay.

Mick: after my heart event a year ago, I was told that an occasional fry up was permitted, preferably no more than once a month. Alcohol in moderation with three or four days abstention in between. I find the latter easier to abide by here than when in France. The price and quality of wine (and naughty DH!) make it very tempting!

Last night, I enjoyed “Would I Lie to You?” on BBC 1 and found myself laughing out loud at one point! Lee Mack is so quick and David Mitchell is droll. Past shows may be seen regularly mid evening on Dave.

Yes, Gagagran, it’s lovely to see signs of Spring to give us all hope for a brighter tomorrow. ?☀️?

Morning Mick and all who follow from a chilly and frosty south coast.-0.6c just now.

We have a click and collect at Tesco between 8am and 9am so will need to defrost the car even though DH put an old bedsheet over the windscreen last night. It is surprisingly good at keeping the ice off but the rear and side windows will need scraping. I hate winter!

Tried the Parsley Box meals yesterday with mixed reviews. They were tasty but portions were minute. DH could probably have eaten three of them and I could have managed two. Will definitely need additional veg and carbs to make a decent size meal.

Report from DD is that DGS still has a temperature and is quite unwell but she and DSiL are slowly improving. Still coughing and tired but feeling more confident of recovery.

Enjoy your fry up Mick. I prefer a well done bacon butty myself!

Keep safe and keep warm everyone. We will get through this. Spring is on its way. sunshine

Good morning from an overcast E Kent.
It’s a good idea to have some stores in readiness for emergencies, Mick. We have a “stash” under the stairs.
I made 60 pots of marmalade yesterday. It was a mistake, my back was so painful at the end that I could barely walk by evening. It’s better this morning.
Hope there is some sunshine ☀️ in your lives today. Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but dry , cold and frosty out there in Brackley this morning .
Plans for the day , will have a frying pan fry up for a change to my routine , usually cereal but a change is just as good .
I have started to use stock of food ,and some pre made up meals from the freezer ,as though this lockdown made me create some meals .
The usual Chinese which I normally have , will be down to the weather today , as staying in the warm is more inviting .
Take Care ,
Mick
