Good morning all. It's a lovely clear morning here in the west coast of Scotland. Cold at -1c with black ice under foot. The snow covered mountains are looking beautiful in the winter sunshine. Have a lovely day everyone. 
Good morning all and brrrr it’s a chilly one.
Well, Nfk I am shocked at the un PC ness of your local NT house , a 1930’s maid? How many sensitivities could that upset at one go 
The NHS will be doing naughty nurses next (oops, ? ducks behind sofa)
kittyl I had been wondering if I could actually escape doing Christmas cards at all this year? But as the DDs pointed out it is a way of informing anybody we were unable to contact as well as thank those who did come to paws funeral. Damn, they are probably right. Now to try to work out the address label thingy - or perhaps not.
That gives me a —cunning plan— idea.
Have a pleasant day all, my Book Club annual (see what I did there?) lunch is today, excellent timing as they are lovely ladies and will ensure I have a good time! 
Good morning everyone. It's a Public Holiday here in Malta today so it feels like another Sunday.
The weather is pleasantly sunny but it is cold indoors.
Nfk, I'm intrigued! Do you have to dress up in a frilly cap and apron? Hope the heating is on for you.
I'm plucking up courage to phone a very close and dear friend who has just lost her son very suddenly. He was 34. 
Hope you all have a good day. Stay safe.
Morning all, very cold here in Glasgow. I went out to the bin in my jammies and came back in very quickly.
I think my breadmaker has had it. I got up to find the bread was half cooked. That's the second disaster with breadmaking this week.
Off to read the GN thread about purchasing a new breadmaker.
Newquay, hope all goes well for your DD and new DGS.
Morning Mick and everyone!
Don't think we have had any frost overnight here on the south coast but it is definitely chilly and grey.
It's WI this morning and I am still getting used to being able to just turn up and go at the end without all the setting up and clearing away I had for my three years as President. Feel a bit like a spare part actually!
DH is going to get the Christmas decorations down from the loft today so I can spend the weekend transforming the house into a festive rival to Harrods. Well obviously not quite that but it will look nice - I promise! 
Go safely all GNs who are out and about on iffy roads!
Morning all-layer of snow here in N Staffs. DH and I are both laid low with cough/ cold/sore throat-defo flu like
Can't finish Christmas cards-tell the truth haven't even started-cos new DGS still hasn't appeared. DD 's appt at hosp was cancelled yesterday cos they're full. If she starts over w.e. she's to ring hospital first and they'll let her know where there's a bed free-no room at the inn then?
Morning corner
Morning Mick, nina, all.
It's cold but dry in North Leicestershire but there is snow in the forecast. We had sleet last night.
Sainsbury's for me this morning and I'm going to attempt to do the Christmas cards. We had our first Round Robin yesterday - I feel really inadequate and a complete failure!
Morning Mick and everyone.
Still dark but I can hear the wind and it's chilly here in Kent.
Food shopping and coffee out this morning.
Have a good day y'all
