Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and raining here in brackley at the present moment .
Yesterdays trip to the JR was about 10 minutes talk on having surgery done in the next month or so , but I have to build up my strength as to the heart with exercise, which recent weather has not helped.
Anyway things to pack of the Harrogate for the weekend to s hotel I told the coach travel firm about , so will see many changes as last time I stayed there between lockdowns was a very limited service .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from a cloudy W Kent. Off to catch up with DD2 and DGC this afternoon, I don't usually have to cook tea but DD will be late so its spag bol and a chat.
I have been given an appointment to see the paramedic at the surgery tomorrow afternoon!!! for a sore ear and cough I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone on a Saturday but very grateful anyway.
Take care everyone with travel, trips out and exercise.

Good morning all from white out Harrogate
Sounds like you’ve had the tonic you need to carry on with your house move GandMattie
Yesterday went to an interesting talk from JennyRuth workshops on the things they make to sell while giving support to those with disabilities. The presentation was given by a lady who had Down Syndrome and she had assistance from a young man with similar disabilities. Naturally I ended up buying bits from them. My Sainsburies delivery was an hour early, so I accompanied my DH for his hospital appointment. Waste of time for me between his accent and mask wearing I didn’t pick up anything he said. Then home, tea and a zoom call with my sisters.
Today it’s quite heavy snow, main roads OK I have a Drs appointment and am waiting for a bus. Or two to the surgery just out of Harrogate.
Probably do some baking this pm.
Have the best day possible

Well like Greyduster am in Winter Wonderland, yes it is 7 inches of snow.

I had an appointment at 1.35 and waited 20 mins worrying about postponing and costs of doing so - but first they said no problem and then it came through the clinic had been closed for the day anyway as staff couldn't get in!

So my treadmill might come in use.

Actually wondering if the coach will be able to get Mick to Harrogate but a coach a very different matter from small cars. so its number 2 day in, by tomorrow will have case of Cabin Fever.

TV of limited use as snow has blocked some functions. But a good book on the go.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s cold and overcast in this corner of Lancashire, currently 2°C.

The howling winds kept me awake for part of the night but I still got a decent amount of sleep. It rained heavily but fortunately the temperature stayed above freezing so no ice. We’ve had a sprinkling of snow this morning. Mr.B will take me to the pharmacy today to pick up my repeat prescription and I will take the opportunity to nip into Morrisons for a few bits and pieces.

Have a good day all.

A lazy late good morning from the south coast where it’s wet and windy. We went up to London yesterday to see a show, the Jersey Boys. It was fantastic and well worth the long trip to get there in the train and tube. I’m glad we are having an indoors day today as we didn’t get home until gone 10 pm by which time we were both very tired.
Hope everyone has a good day where they can. A day of poor weather all over so it’s good to keep warm I think.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. We were due to have our Volunteer gardeners this morning, but they haven't turned up. I wonder whether it is because of the weather, although no snow here. We are very new to their service, so I am just waiting to see what happens, and am twiddling my thumbs.
Knitting is all finished. It has turned out much bigger that I expected, but is very cosy.
Well, I suppose I could go and delve in the freezer and see what we can eat tonight.
Have a good day one and all.

Good afternoon,
Woke up to several inches of snow (we’re in a valley so tend to be protected from the worst of it). Anyway, the sun is out now and it is gradually melting, thank goodness. Areas around and about have much deeper snow.
No plans to venture out though. I’ve spent the morning fettling all the rooms downstairs and cleaning the bathroom and downstairs loo. Feeling quite virtuous now 😂😂. DH has prepared the beef stew and set it off in the slow cooker so that’s something warming to look forward to later. Think I’ll continue with my book after lunch.
Enjoy your afternoon.
