Yes, Spice101, it’s been the coldest winter I can remember.
I won’t be so chilled out tomorrow. Having iron infusion and they can never find a decent vein. Not looking forward to half hour of pain. Somebody tell me to stop being a wimp, please? There are others far worse off, I know, but all that poking and stabbing really hurts doesn’t it. Sorry for complaining.

Aussie Gran - stop being a whimp! Just kidding, of course your problem may well be less than others but you are the one that has to deal with it. I guess it is only half an hour so fingers crossed it will not be too painful.

You are right about this being the coldest winter remembered - possibly also the wettest - but I'm sure the powers that be will tell us in the next day or so that the average temperature for the winter was higher than usual.

Glad you're enjoying Gransnet ?

A lovely post Aussiegran. It’s great to hear your news from the other side of the world. ?. ?

MONica - why you could never be obsequious (BTW what does it mean?)

Well said AussieGran59 from another chilled (thank goodness winter is in it's last hours for this year) Aussie Gran

AussieGran59 Thank you for your kind words. I will say no more than that for fear of appearing either arrogant or obsequious.

What a lovely post to read this morning, AussiGran59! Thank you! I found Gransnet to be a lifeline during the pandemic and have continued to enjoy it since then. People are generally kind and supportive, especially on the daily Good Morning thread. Last Winter, I met one contributor who was on a walking holiday near my home in Devon. Other regulars feel like friends, too. Long may it flourish! ?
