Hi all Another very cold night, but due to be a sunny day today. All-this winter cold, made us book a summer holiday, we are going to Mull for a week in June. Not long till we are away again, off to the Lakes for Christmas, 3 nights, should be lovely, a very relaxed hotel.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Good morning, another cold and frosty day, but the sun is shining so that is good. Going out later for afternoon tea with some former colleagues. It will be good to see them and have a catch up. Hope it warms up soon for you @Pat E and that you won’t need to use much of that wood. Good luck with the annual eye check @punkdoc.
Oh dear ... OH went down the road to test drive my very under-used bike (his needs a new cog wheel or summat) and found that just around the corner there's a fountain welling up out of the pavement. We've reported it to Anglian Water who've put it on their list and recommended that we fill some jugs 'just in case'. They didn't say how long their list is, but my guess is that it's not short.

Hello all, it's mild and wet down in these parts! I wish we could see some sun! Neighbour who has the cats came round this morning, had we seen one of her cats, he didn't come home last night, so the search began, the sheds etc also we have a separate studio which was also searched, I went back in there for second time and found him huddled under the folding bed which has a cover over it when not in use. OH had been in there yesterday and shut him in! This is the neighbour we tolerate and she us! Spoke to Daughter yesterday she said they were freezing their a***s off.
Oh dear @Dovefromabove. Is it very cold, will it turn into ice and cause accidents?
Getting colder again after the rain. The sky is blue and the sun is shining. A flock of cranes flew by this morning, going south, but I was too slow with the camera. I've never seen them leave so late.
I hope the pipes are OK at the Norfolk Cottage, we turned the water off before coming to France. It sounds very cold in the UK.
Haven't done much yet, apart from read the papers on the computer. Thank goodness the nurses in Suffolk and Norfolk aren't on strike - so far.
The hazel tree has shed the last of it's leaves so I'll rake them up this afternoon. Must prune the grapevine before we go back to Norfolk.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good afternoon, very cold again last night and a strong hoare frost on the car this morning. I have been clearing the ice on the water for the birds, and put out another fat block for them . @Lizzie27 the test is for visual fields, and involves you looking into a hood where they flash little lights (some brighter than others) in a random sequence. You have to click a button when you see the light. I have glaucoma, and damage to the optic nerve can result in loss of peripheral vision. Fortunately mine is well controlled and stable, but even with treatment, I expect eventually they will stop me driving, but hopefully my vision will remain good enough for a while longer. I am a certain age next year and have to renew my license hence the test.

glad you’ve got plenty of firewood @Pat E 😊
Only -1C here now but apparently it was colder earlier.
