Good morning all. It’s bitterly cold and frosty again in Glasgow -3 deg! 🥶

I couldn’t access GN yesterday for whatever reason.

Yesterday was hairdresser day then some food shopping in our local M&S. My food bills have drastically dropped now I am buying for one.

DD1 will be arriving at 11.00 to accompany me to a close friend’s mother’s funeral. I feel so sad for my friend who was very close to her mother. A lovely lady who I too will miss.

No plans after that, just see what unfolds today.

Best wishes to all. Stay safe and warm in these icy conditions .

Good morning from Malta where we expect a cooler 21°C high and 15°C low with a possibility of showers.

Nothing exciting happening today. I need to change the sheets and turn some carrots into soup. I wasn’t well yesterday so will see how I feel once I’m up.

Feelingmyage55 yes, indeed I did watch the tennis on Tuesday night. It was very emotional seeing Rafa bowing out of professional tennis. What a man!

I hope Babydoll is feeling better. Croup is horrible.

Hello Autumncolours welcome to this friendly thread.🤗

Wishing you all a good day ☀️

Good morning from s somerset, rain or snow all morning and very cold

Probably an indoors day for me today, I need to get my spare bedroom ready so could well be doing that. Little by little my house is getting straighter and dust is disappearing, it isn`t that much effort, not really, not when it is a gradual process

I have a hat to finish, that might happen today. There are no appointments for me this week, which leaves me free to do whatever beckons. I might make some wall storage system for my shed but that depends on the weather. I might assemble my new barrow, which is in my hall. Lots of `mights` for me today, I just follow my inclinations, as and when

Ooh yes, I did order my first veg plantings for the plot. Asparagus, potatoes, garlic, onions and shallots

Have a good day and be safe on icy ground

Good morning everyone from a chilly Yorkshire. First time posting here. I had some worrying health news yesterday so have found it hard to sleep. Getting up to make a cuppa and trying to distract myself. It’s lovely to hear your plans and know you’re there. Have a good day.

Good morning from Shropshire.There has been a small amount of snow overnight but sun forecast today so hopefully that will at least clear the roads.

We are up early as I have an early hospital appointment.We will then go supermarket shopping and then a friend is coming round this afternoon.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a frosty Bristol. After the snow on Tuesday, it has been dry, and occasionally bright.
I am very tired as I have ha/am having a full on week - a perfect storm of events…
Yesterday was the busiest. It started with my usual Wednesday morning prayers, swiftly followed by the FAB cafe. As I’m the church hostess/volunteer,I have to be the welcomer, server and general cheerful face. About 16 attendees, many of whom were completely new faces. Last week’s guests mostly didn’t come, they were curious…. I’m giving it until the end of January for the numbers to settle. People were very flattering about my peanut butter cookies.
I rushed home for lunch. I also called the PoA people regarding my refund. You couldn’t make it up - the cheque had be put on someone’s desk - they only are annual leave! I’ve been promised it by special delivery today…. I’m not holding my breath!
Rushed off to my ladies’ guild thingy where we had a very interesting talk about”Princess Caraboo”. She turned up in one of Bristol’s small outlying towns.
I left early because I was so tired but still had to join my neighbour for a birthday cuppa. I left her after about an hour - still exhausted. I was in bed not long after 9.
Today tai chi and dinner with DD. I shall give the DGDs their “lucky dip” advent calendar; my invention, different to the usual stuff.
Hope all is well with you all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
