Good morning all. Polmont has a little ice left from the snow yesterday. It's 1° but the forecast is milder today so I expect it will clear. Grandmadinosaur what lovely photos! A lovely wee family.
Yesterday I went to Aldi but then dozed off and on most of the day as I didn't feel quite right.
Today I have to go back to the pharmacy for my prescriptions as they hadn't ordered them last week. Then dd is visiting with the two boys after playgroup. I'm looking forward to seeing them. Apart from that, nothing is planned. Have a good day all.

Thanks Scentia - very kind of you to warn me.

Scentia Mon 29-Nov-21 07:18:05

MOMB. Please check your route as a lot of roads are closed in Derbyshire.x

Morning all from a noisy north Wales where the bin men are cracking on emptying the streets bins - sounds like it’s all bottles.....??

A pootling day for me, where I shall meander through a kitchen wipe down, some admin, some Xmas sorting and canteen duties as per usual- I can make a day look so busy?

Hope you’re feeling better after your fall Gwen my shoulder/arm still has twinges after my trip a month ago!

Have a lovely day folks x

My photos didn’t appear. Try again.
Yes I hope anyone suffering in the weather to keep safe.

Take care everyone.

Morning all from a 0deg S Hants, the snow/sleet we had last night has frozen, MrJ will have a job de icing his car, I’ll wait until later to go out to the farm shop.
I’m fingers crossed for you Ashcombe that oldudders returns as planned.
Just watching the news, hoping you’re all safe with power and no damage after the weekend of wind and snow.
Have a good day all, hopefully a ?and some ?.

Good morning from a dark, frosty East Yorkshire.
Great joy here yesterday as DIL and baby were allowed home. Dgs meeting his sister for my the first time was besotted! Ds and Dgs were coming for lunch so it was a bonus that they could all be here. So it was cuddles all round ... lovely.
I do hope you will be able to spend the festivities together Ash ?

Today I will be getting the living room prepped and have a good tidy up ahead of putting up the Christmas decs later in the week.

Good morning all! We are off on a short HF walking holiday to the Derbyshire dales today. It's an area we don't know so looking forward to seeing another part of the country. Will pack plenty of warm clothes. Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from a still dark and chilly Northampton, (-3°). Peering out of the windows I can see a light dusting of snow on the gardens, looking like someone has sprinkled icing sugar over them; very pretty, but I expect it's treacherous. Heating had come on in the night.

Yoga first thing this morning, then back home and hibernate in the warm all day. Will catch up with reading this afternoon and probably knitting.

Echoing Ash's sentiments to stay safe and warm today.

Good Morning everyone from a dark, cold and frosty Severnside.

I plan a day indoors doing some tidying and cleaning and maybe some diy that is on my ‘honey do’ list. I’m not really an untidy person but sometimes I can’t believe how untidy the house can get and I can’t blame anyone else for it ?

Have a good day all and stay safe and warm ❄️?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where the snow has frozen over and it will be a walk into work. We will just stay until all deliveries are in and out and then come home. No point heating the factory unnecessarily.
I really should do a food shop but I can’t bear it to be honest!! I may do an online shop.
Take care everyone and stay upright.❤️

Good morning from a dawning E Kent. It’s dry and we are promised sunny intervals. Nice change from the dreary weather we have had.
Last nigh, I had a surprise. I couldn’t place the unexpected flavour and scent in the first mouthful of the glass of red wine DHhanded me. He told me that he had bought a bottle “with a shot of coffee” of all things, by accident. Good wine spoiled in my opinion. The second mouthful was ok, but really?
Ash, iso hope olddudders can make it back again in time for Christmas. To me, this new variant is extremely transmissible, but the mortality seems negligible. Hope I’m right and all goes back to normal-ish.
I shan’t be sending Christmas cards/letters this year; it’s been such a difficult one. I’ll probably just send good wishes by mail instead.
Have a good day everyone; I hope those improving improve,n those with difficulties, I proven and everyone has a gentle day. Carpe diem ???☀️?☀️??☀️

Good Morning Mick, a tidy up day sounds a good idea as we have a snowy Oxfordshire and it looks very cold.
Lots of washing to do today and I’ll probably get the Christmas Decs out of the roof space and have a sort out especially the lights.
Have a good day everyone and be careful if you go out, wrap up and stay warm.

Ashcombe Mon 29-Nov-21 06:33:44

Good morning from a slightly frosty Torbay.

Yesterday, we made a start on writing Christmas cards so that DH's can be posted from here for his contacts in the UK. He is due to travel home tomorrow so I’m unlikely to post on here as I’ll be dropping him off at Newton Abbot station very early. ☹️ I just hope and pray he will be able to return as planned on the 15th December so we have Christmas together this year.

Have a good week and stay safe and warm, everyone! ?????

Have a good day everyone.
