    That sounds like fun @Busy-Lizzie :o my usual technique is to befriend the workmen by offering mugs of tea … then you get priority treatment when you need to get out šŸ˜‰Ā

  • Good morning everyone,Ā  yes the frost didn't come last night , I was pleased not to have to scrape car windows to go to my Yoga class.Ā  Even the shady bottom of the garden isn't white at last. No sun though,Ā  can't have everything.Ā 
    Happy Birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel mine is not actually till Thursday when I share it with Australia day.Ā  It's just my wife's family seem determined to make a fuss, it's very sweet of them of course but I would rather they save the expense. They have good jobs etc but I know they have equally big mortgages too. Ah well.Ā 
    Good to see you back @Hostafan1 I might be seeking advice on the perennial Agapanthus when it finally thaws, some are looking a mushy mess at the moment.Ā

    That's the trick @Busy-Lizzie ... offer the refreshments, they're probably not needed but you've offered ... you're now their friendĀ  :

    Oh yes, well remembered @Allotment Boy ....

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY @D0rdogne_Damsel šŸ„‚šŸ¾šŸ„³ Enjoy your day and have a lovely evening with CharlieĀ  :D

    Morning all, yes @AuntyRach, it's designed for two to share!Ā  Very cosy.

    Another frosty morning here which I was not expecting after a slight rise in temperature yesterday. Have to walk to the bus stop soon as I have a massage booked for later. Hope the pavement isn't too icy. We have got sunshine again though.

    Happy Birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel.

    Hi all

    Lovely sunny winters day, but everything too frozen to do much outside.
    Happy Birthday, @D0rdogne_Damsel.

    Hello and happy birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel! Have a lovely day.Ā 

    It is cold and grey here. I could use copy-paste this sentence every morning, it is so dreadfully sunless in winter in this country. Mustn't grumble though as I am feeling better mentally. That's why this morning I tackled 2 kitchen cupboards, cleaned all and put stuff back in a tidy way. Thrown away some too, which makes me feel better. I am also seeing some friends for lunch and, if the back will ache more later, I have all these nice things to confront it with.

    Have a good day all!Ā

    We have a thick frost this morning. I have today off (owed hours) but I will be doing some homework for my teaching class tomorrow plus a few jobs.Ā 

    Ah a sleeping bag for two! Being zipped-in together sounds like some sort of relationship test!

    Have a good day all.Ā

    Good morning all,

    It’s a lovely, bright one here, no frost, but still chilly. I must make an effort to put on my coat and go for a walk. Although I did go out yesterday to meet friends (which was very enjoyable), it was door to door, so no outside exercise.

    Happy birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‚šŸ¾. I hope you have a nice day.

    Well done @coccinella for cleaning and clearing your cupboards. You can have a gold ā­ļø. It’s always a good feeling of achievement when it’s done, isn’t it?😊.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Happy Birthday @D0rdogne_Damsel

    I had my 60th last month.
    I'd never imagined I'd have been widowed before I got there.
