Thank you GM and another Grhh from me, I understand your feelings flowers

Good morning, s somerset is baltic but the welcome sun will be coming in later.

Baking yesterday morning was thoroughly enjoyable, unbaked mini mince pies are frozen, parkin is maturing and I made some yeasted fruit buns for the freezer. Whatever happens wrt the weather and me travelling or not, I am sorted, finished

Three candles in clear glass vases were on last night, the glass seems to make them more sparkly and they gave me good cheer. I got one of them from a local cs, lovely, tall, squarish and hand made wonky

Have a lovely day, as much as you can

Good morning everyone, it’s another very cold start here too.
I have a health check at the surgery this morning, then I will deliver cards to my friends in the village. Art group this afternoon, that’s always a lovely couple of hours.
Ocado finally delivered yesterday evening, it must be a really hard job in bad weather, no roads other than the main ones get gritted in Wiltshire so many are still treacherous. We have springs that flow across the lanes on the hills around here so sheets of ice form. I couldn’t do it.
I think it’s warming up a bit by the weekend, I will be thankful!
Take care everyone x

Today, I’m visiting my much neglected old friend in the nursing home, bringing her her Christmas present, as well as the ones I bought for her carers, prettily wrapped.

You never stop thinking of others, dear grandMattie; an example to us all. ❤️

Good morning from a chilly E Kent. It doesn’t feel frosty, although the forecast is for the temperatures to hover at freezing today. Very light wind, which makes a great difference.
I stayed in most of yesterday, waiting for DL’s hospital bed to E taken away. It was very annoying not knowing what time they were coming, also not knowing if there was completion on her flat. FYI, DL had transferred the money to the solicitor about 10 days ago, so that wasn’t the hiccup. I received a call from her, complaining that the bed had been made up innth3 wrong room, and why had I forgotten the paperwork! Grr 😖
I managed to get out briefly and met a lovely couple from church in the PO, DS1 is still great friends with their son.
Had left over SOAP, Urms.

I hope today brings some sunshine to your hearts. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, grandMattie and other early risers, from a very chilly Torbay. (wind chill making it feel like -7!) Thank you for opening up.

This morning I have an early blood test and I’m thinking of wearing my fleece lined onesie to walk up the road to the surgery besides warm coat, boots, etc! After that, a day of hibernating beckons.

Stay warm and well, everyone! 🦩🎄🎅🏼⛄️🦩
