    Morning all.  A horrible day here, cold and wet.  Ante teaching is a nightmare at the moment First and Secondborn are exhausted too.  Look after yourself and relax when you can.  A couple of those honey biscuits would go down well with a cuppa this morning.
    Happy birthday to your OH SGL.  It was Hubby's birthday yesterday.  He was teaching and I was looking after Secondborn and the boys so we didn't do anything in the way of celebrations.  Secondborn and the boys are coming over today to see him.  Despite being in the same bubble he hasn't had a chance to see the boys for quite a few weeks so he is really looking forward to cuddles and rough and tumble.
    Called my sister this morning.  She and her husband have been diagnosed with Covid.  She is in the high risk category because she has underlying health conditions.  They caught it when they had an emergency trip to the dentist.  It's the only time they have seen anyone since it all started.  She sounded awful.  Had to have the paramedics out but so far has managed to stay out of hospital.
    Those buttons look unbelievably tiney LB.  I wonder if anyone has to count them out when they are packed for delivery.
    My bestie has just received a letter asking if she wants to be a polling clerk in the March electiions.  I should get mine soon.   Not sure I want to be taking part in it next year.
    Stay safe everyone.

    Lily Happy Birthday to oh wishing you both a good day :). .  Yvie belated birthday wishes for oh.  Yvie my sister and bil are both teachers and finding it difficult at this time.  Especially with bil now contracting chest infection after having contracting Covid.  We hope for the best.  Sister so far okay thankfully.  Ante the honey biscuits sound delicious, are we allowed to dip?  Hope you have a good carrot haul.  LB hope you had a good sleep.  I had a sleep in and have done the ironing and now having a cup of tea.  Chive, apparently Yorkshire Water still working in the area but no further signs of them.  Alfie’s gone to sleep in the plush barrel.  He likes it in there when he wants privacy.  Hazel I hope you had a refreshing walk and that the frost has gone.  Wrap up warm everyone.

    Good evening all.
    I came home an hour ago. It was lovely day, but now is cold and windy. Tonight, for me, hot tea and Poirot.
