Good morning everyone.I haven’t read back ,still half asleep. I hope everyone is keeping warm . According to the weather forecast we are going to have more snow shortly .
Morning all. Clearer and brighter skies today and no wind. Off to SM for weekly shop and then have a delivery PM. @star gaze lily, so nice to see you again. I am sorry to hear you are still struggling with sleep. I can't help but think that these winter days and nights won't help much,perhaps when spring arrives and you can perhaps get out in the garden more it may help lift your spirits a little. This is such a hard time for you and my every sympathies go out to you. Sending you a hug. Biglad, when our council collections for waste and recycling change, I would expect as much mayhem here as you are having. We will be inundated with many coloured bins ( hope not as don't have anywhere to put them) if the local news is right ....it will be a problem in our small cul de sac. Topbird, I feel frozen just reading your posts. 🥶 Hope those thermals are handy but at least you will warm up in the nice saunas. Debs, have an enjoyable tea with son. When our son visits, he still eats me out of house and home.🤭🙂 and always heads straight the fridge first. Even 23 has started doing that now. So funny.
I'm sorry you still have trouble sleeping @star gaze lily. I hope you enjoying seeing your friends.
I hope you enjoy Germany @Topbird, though I wouldn't want to join you in the sauna. I find them most uncomfortable.
We saw Haggis for sale in the SM but we didn't fancy it.
We didn't do very well on the pub quiz, 6th. Not our sort of quiz, so much TV, pop music and sport. A page of 20 cryptic questions on TV programmes, a lot of soaps included, most of which we don't watch. 10 questions on pop, I only knew 2, but our team mates knew 7 including my 2. Some teams knew them all. No classical music, biology, botany, cookery, hardly any history or geography.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Busy, think I'd struggle to get the answers to some of those question categories too. Hope you enjoyed the evening though, a nice change. We've been out and since returning home have had the expected delivery so have been browsing the internet to see if I could find the right wool for that throw I was going to do for my SIL for this next X**s. Managed to find a site that had some in so have ordered five balls of it. Hope that's enough, maybe need one more eventually. I have other things to make before that though, I found some beautiful wool at the famous Crafty shop the other day, its called Flutterby ,chunky , and is incredibly soft and almost furry. Found a nice new baby blanket pattern too so will am looking forward to giving it a go and a new pattern will be a nice change for me. Have checked the greenhouse, some pots needed watering and our new cactus is flowering with lots of buds on it. The garden looks a mess after all the winds and needs a good tidy up and hoeing of borders, but it's still too cold for us to spend any time outside just yet. @Rubee, how are you feeling? Have you shaken off that bug yet? LB, has your cold gone too?
Hello all. Hair all sorted again - I hadn't realised how long it had grown! Nice catch up with Bestie and her daughter.
@Biglad my refuse collectors were here at 07:00 and yes, you guessed it, bin was abandoned in the middle of my drive but at least I didn't have to get out of my car and leave it with its motor running in the middle of the Crescent to shift the bin out of the way.
Hazel, re 23 - like father like son springs to mind. Similar to Ruby, I thank you for asking and my cold is almost gone. It doesn't make me feel ill - just worn out with coughing. Still haven't felt its clear enough to rearrange my appointment with the Dental Hygienist. I love the sound of the Flutterby yarn Hazel and I think I'll take a look at that. My Bestie has a Christmas Cactus in her little greenhouse which is also covered in deep pink flower buds.
Busy, I would have struggled with those topics in the Pub Quiz. I don't watch any soaps nowadays so wouldn't have a clue. I often feel like I am being left behind as I know fewer and fewer so called celebrities when it comes to things like Strictly or other quiz programmes where they play for their favourite charities. I have to Google them and even then I don't recognise them.
p.s. Hazel, just had a look at that Flutterby yarn. It looks very snuggly indeed with that chenille finish.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I am signing out for tonight. I hope we all get a decent night's sleep. See you in the morning. Remember the full moon tonight if your skies are clear.
