Good morning from a very icy, snowy spot in south Glos, -6° but sun is forecast today.
I took the car for its service yesterday and while it was being done I wandered around a nearby department store, coming out with two tunic jumpers. They were in the safe, they’re very soft and warm.
The drive from the village to the main road wasn’t nice, I do hope everything thaws soon. I have sewing group this afternoon and two miles on ungritted roads isn’t fun. I am very much looking forward to seeing my friends again.
Sending hugs to anyone who needs them 🌹

Good morning Mick from a lightly dusted north Wales ( not by me 😱) and we’re promised more later which may prevent a planned jolly 🤬

A friend has invited me to brunch at Tweedmill, our nearest outlet and although I’m meant to be NOT shopping for unnecessaries this year month, this maybe too much temptation for me ☹️

So many with sadnesses Susan, Crossstitchfan 💐 at the moment and others with trying times - hope the kind thoughts on this thread cheer you somewhat 🤗

Good morning from s somerset, cold and bright today, likely to be very slippery outside, hidden ice as it rained a lot last night

Never mind the RnR that I was going to have yesterday, thankfully I was back into normal mode ie working until noon and then knitting. My kitchen looks better too, one appliance into a cupboard and another is out. I make more veg juices during winter, the vertical juicer is out again

I put my re-bounder back into my hall, it is good when I consciously get up from knitting ie sitting. I don`t do many bounces, just enough so I can sit again. I cannot see me going for a walk while it is so cold out

Obviously an indoor day again with no plans but I know I will finish the sock I am working on and then I will get a wool wash done. I think I will also do some financial deep-diving, I am sure I have some bigger yearly bills soon

Have a good day

Morning Mick, morning All from a cold, frosty corner of Somerset.

Mr C’s turn for a blood test today, perhaps some lunch out before returning the replacement jacket which is too small, no half sizes in clothes sadly. Just not meant to be.

Wishing you all well. Have the best day you can.

Today a busy day I have my chiropodist coming this morning , which will be followed by the usual bus trip to Bicester , on top watching the weather locally for any changes which would alter things .
Health OK

Mick
