Our winters seem to get longer each year I hate the damp and wet weather.

I've only recently discovered Nutella. Isn't it gorgeous. Now I must find a way of not eating it all at once. Will power, please!

It's bacon roll Friday. The highlight of my week!

It's taken 3 cups of tea to read yesterday's GM thread

The heating is on but there is a seriously cold draft whipping round my legs

It’s much too cold for May. I don’t like it.

Loislovesstewie, good luck with your bannisters. It too us ages!

I got a free box of chocs and a packet of Belgian choc biscuits from my Sparks points at M&S. How do they know I'm on a strict diet. Not fair.

A kind neighbour has just given me some primroses from his garden.

It's cold and dull and now it's raining... again!!

For reasons best known to myself (possibly complete madness!!) I have decided to strip the paint off all of the stairs(treads, risers, banisters, spindles) A 3-storey Victorian house, loads of stairs and ornate spindles! Wish me luck.

sunshine yesterday raining today.

I’ve been up since 6 and nearly finished 2 lots of marking. Should I go back to bed?

I have been clearing pesky Ivy from the fence and on nearby plants. It’s just a pity any climbing plants I put in don’t do so well.

Can someone please tell Tomasz Schafernaker - the BBC weatherman - that barbers are open now. His hair used to be so neat!

We have thunder and lightning here and my dog is going crazy.

Thank goodness, in spite of my back being a pig today, I've managed to plant the lobelias and bidens, and then the sweet peas, Three cheers!

Why does the sun shine all morning then as soon as we go out in the back garden for lunch the clouds arrive, and today the rain as well ☹️

So many different teas available in the supermarket today. Most of them flavoured though and a very slimmed down choice of black teas available. All I want is a decent cup of black tea! Is it too much to ask for an ordinary, strong, good quality, "run of the mill" tea these days?

I’ve just ate two trifles…… Small ones!....??

I bought a pair of cargo trousers today for my summer walks.

Hurrah! We went OUT for lunch!

There’s an old man walking up and down the roof then kneeling at the edge fixing the trim of the house opposite.
I wish I had his confidence.

All day I've been telling myself I need to go for a walk, but it's been very windy, and now it's late, and I haven't had a walk.
Maybe an early night would be a better idea.

My two year old granddaughter is in bed singing her head off, a lovely medley of nursery rhymes, I think she’s trying to attract our attention.
