  • Good morning,

    Thank you for all the advice regarding the bread, I will have a go. From most of what I've read even if it's not lower in calories it certainly seems to be more nutritious and healthy. I'm desperately trying to avoid as much processed food as possible. Not as easy as one would expect. I bought some hummus, but then when reading the small print saw there was all sorts in it there's really no need for. The same with some spiced couscous, I ended up buying plain and adding my own spices. 

    Still extremely cold here, the weekend is supposed to be a bit better, it'll be nice to see some sunshine. 😎

    Lovely photos @Lyn. 🙂

    I walked for an hour yesterday but it was too cold to stop and take pictures, I came across some beautiful cows, with little ones too, they all stopped and peered at me but it was too cold to stop and get organized with the camera. I am a bit scared of cows too, I didn't want them coming any closer despite the fence. 😯

    Washing more curtains today, one pair are 5 metres long, I'm hoping I can get one in the big machine outside the supermarket, ironing them will be fun. 😱

    Might get some dahlias ordered today too and my new shrub, decisions, decisions though. 🙄😅

  • Good  morning all

    Those are lovely photos @Lyn I bet it is lovely walking and walking and not seeing anyone. Having the walk all to yourself.

    It is very cold and icy this morning. I must go out and defrost my car as I am setting off for work in a few minutes.

    Have a good day all 😁

    Good morning all  :) ☕️ 

    Appalling scenes in the USA 😡 , and what huge inequity in the treatment an attempted coup yesterday,  compared with the heavy handed and aggressive treatment of peaceful protesters after the killing of George Floyd.

    Remember the teargassing of peaceful protestors including Church pastors, simply so that Trump could pose for the cameras holding a bible in front of a church.  

    Can you imagine the police reaction to an invasion of Congress by a black crowd? Would it have been different to what happened yesterday?!  You know it would. 

    Trump has divided his country more than ever before ... America needs to sort itself out. Biden and Harris have an immense task ahead of them ... I hope they’re up to it.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel 😊 hummus is so quick and easy to make ... and it freezes well. Just put a thin layer of EVOO over the top and freeze it in plastic tubs etc.

  • Hard frost here, cars were all white last night when I put the bins out. Still all white now. Window cleaner is supposed to be coming today not sure if he will now.

    Good morning folks ... late to log in ... been to get some blood tests done ( routine for the medication I am on , to make sure its not too much for my body to handle)... v cold out but quite bright and bits of blue sky. Looked like i was more coat than person by the time i ventured out but atleast I was warm! For the sake of my bones hope the worst of this cold snap is over by the weekend, however picturesque I think frosty scenes look!

    edit to add... maybe i should have said good morning forks!
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    Morning all,  I agree with you wholeheartedly @Dovefromabove in fact I just posted something similar on another thread.  There is no way the authorities would have taken such a lenient and belated approach if it had been a black protest. 
    Very foggy and frosty this morning, have popped out to fill up the bird feeders as I couldn't stand to see the robin shivering in the hawthorn tree. 
    Just about to have a bacon butty, not sur whether it should be classed as a late breakfast or an early lunch.
    Stay safe and warm everyone.
