Good morning from Glasgow. Dry and a tad milder this morning.

DD1 has arrived to help me get the incinerator going to burn the pile of cardboard stacked up in the garage. That should keep us warm along with a hot chocolate break.

Wishing you a warm welcome Optomistic

A quick visit today wishing a good day for all, especially our friends with continual worries.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 3°C.

We had a successful shopping trip yesterday, found some new pillows the right size and shape, hypo allergenic. However, the retail park was very crowded so didn’t have much of a wander. MrB has done the weekly supermarket shop this morning, I have been keeping warm. It was very cold here overnight and I’m surprised it wasn’t frosty. Today I plan to change the bedding, put the new pillows on and do some laundry.

Good news on your vision Ashcombe.

Have a good day everyone 🌹

Good morning from a beautiful and sunny East Midlands.

Beautiful photo PurplePixie. And a gorgeous holiday one of Gran Canaria in the winter sun. My sister in Estapona says it’s chucking it down and freezing there at present. Mind you the reservoirs are very low and water is much needed. But as my friend at LWW always used to say “it can rain as much as it likes during the night when I’m asleep!”.

We left Spain yesterday (from you know where) and the rain was of biblical proportions. The previous days has been gloriously sunny, needed a jacket but you could feel the heat of the sun.

Spain at its best, beautiful practically deserted beaches…

It should be spring soon. I spotted green shoots in the garden yesterday

Sadly Spring will be a wee while yet Ladyleftfieldlover we’ve another 2 months to get through! And so often the worst of the Winter is in the January /February period.

I agree so much, RMaw. I find February the worst actually as spring is too far away, ditto Christmas memories (and marmalade season…).

Thank you. I took the photo while out on my walk this morning. Still trying to fight off sciatica.
