Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still very cold at -1º with lots of snow still around.
Thanks for the lovely photos Alygran
That must be very frustrating whitewave I hope you manage to get it all done soon and sorted soon enough
I had a busy day out and about all day yesterday so today will probably be much quieter, I’ll maybe just nip into town for a little while for a browse around the shops.
Hope the Spanish class goes well gMattie and enjoy your pizza lunch
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It’s -1 degree and icy outside.

Today we are giving the house a thorough clean prior to work being done next week. Bit of a waste of time but you get my gist! I might see DIL for coffee and let DH do the hard work.

Good news that you have dates for your surgery etc Mick

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a perishing North Leicestershire.

We are awaiting delivery of a new mattress for the spare room anytime from 7.30. Later, I am going to a friend's house for a cup of tea. My social life is picking up!!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. I’ve been awake since 4, read a few chapters of my book and already had breakfast.
It’s still dark but dawn is on the horizon along with a very elegant moon. I hope the photo works.
Today I am supporting a sensory issues training session for the SEND charity. After lunch I’m off to have a facial and my make up done. It’s a freebie but no doubt I’ll buy something.
Then food shopping for the family visit starting tomorrow evening.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from the South Downs where it is due for another glorious sparkling winters day.

Yesterdays asbestos clearance didn’t go ahead, as they have decided that the whole of the loft needs clearing😮.
This is becoming one of those nightmares.
Still- I will go with the flow.
They have already completely emptied wardrobes of DHs stuff and airing cupboard - boxed it up and whizzed it to somewhere in Leicester for storage. So the planned replacement ceiling today won’t go ahead as they get their act together over the loft. I hope it happens pdq as DH has no clean clothes and the sheets and towels will need changing. It will be a question of wash and wear😄.

Apart from that, I am still pottering through the spring cleaning. Doing the dining room at the moment. Waiting for DH to finish his massive jigsaw so I can tackle the dining room table.

Shall take the dog out as soon as it is light to enjoy the lovely winter weather for an hour or so, then back for breakfast and begin the day.

Hope everyone is well and coping with what life is throwing at them.

Good morning from a chilly E Kent. I haven’t looked out yet so have no idea what the weather is doing.
I had a productive day yesterday; I started putting the completed squares together for the quilt I’m making.
I spoke to the estate agent regarding putting the house on the market; DD is viewing 4 flats for me on Friday.
I picked up a recipe for biscoff cupcakes at WI the other day and tried making them to use up eggs and for the Spanish class this morning. They look nice, but I didn’t put the 8” of butter icing as suggested!
Spanish this morning, then going for a pizza for lunch with some friends. I’ll be done in as all that grammar thinking exhausts me.
Hope Ash and her DH has/had a good journey. Have a quiet day everyone. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
