Poor @coccinella. I remember my daughter having an unpleasant time leading up to her radioactive iodine treatment. Hopefully the week will fly by, and before you know it, the scan will be done and dusted, and you can look forward to a celebratory meal of something you fancy. Ive downloaded a jigsaw, @Pat E, thanks for the suggestion. I will still buy myself a real one, very reasonable prices in The Works, which will keep me off the iPad screen for a while. Thanks for the suggestion, @punkdoc, Iāve just finished Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, couldnāt put it down. Iāll be borrowing some more of hers, but now into a book by one of your other suggested authors, plus another one waiting in my downloads. That should keep me busy for a week or so! Beautifully sunny out, but very windy and flipping cold. We had an enjoyable walk along the seafront, but I couldnāt find my hat, and thought I might get blown over a couple of times. I think by the time Iāve gathered up the recycling, and taken it down to the roadside, Iāll have had as much outdoors as I can cope with today.
Afternoon all, we awoke to sunshine and it was dry! But flipping cold when I left at 10.30 am to catch a bus into town to have my hair cut. First time since November I think and by heck I really needed it - it's really thick and got quite frizzy in all the damp weather so I looked like a scarecrow. Treated myself to coffee and cake in M&S then bought the shop up, nice to have a bit of a spree. Haven't bought new clothes for a long time. Bought a jumper in the new cobalt blue colour, very striking. Wanted to get a blue/white striped shirt but only two left, in sizes 8 and 20 which was useless.Ā
Sorry you feel down @coccinella, hopefully this week will go quickly and it will all be over next.
My daughter's just complained that the wind in Devon has been howling round the house for the last 24 hours which she hates. Hopefully she'll be up to stay here later this week.
Crikey @D0rdogne_Damsel, hope that doesn't last all day, looks quite gloomy!
Stay safe everyone, whatever the weather throws at you.
Dry with some sun and very windy subsiding to a bit breezy and very chilly - for todayās instalment of āwhat disappointing weather will we have todayā.Ā
Iāve put my fleecy bed ālinenā back on the bed for tonight.Ā
I hope everyone is doing ok - with colds, pains, naff sleep, hospital stuff and feeling blue all kicking about.Ā
Monday dinner = left over roast chicken dinner šĀ
Good morning all š· āļøĀ I hope all are rested ā¦ thankfully I had a better night, albeit one accompanied by some weird dreams šĀ Sorry youāve been feeling nauseous @coccinella Ā ā¦ hopefully that has passed š¤Ā Thank you for your sign of spring @Hostafan1 Ā ā¦?very cheering for those of us a bit further north. However even here spring is arriving ā¦ the āIce Folliesā daffs that are massed on the lawn around a neighbourās big False Acacia on the corner are beginning to bloom already and I saw a bank of cheery celandine smiling at us yesterday morning šĀ

Skiing excellent, and sun has broken through every day so we're enjoying an amazing time.Ā
Charlie has really pushed me this time which is good, I've done slopes I'd thought were beyond me, and done them well, so feeling very pleased with myself.Ā
Charlie's teacher says there's nothing else he can teach him so they're just enjoying some really challenging slopes, off piste, jumps and suchlike.Ā
Sorry, I must be sounding like a ski bore, but it's so exhilarating.Ā
I know the weather back home in Limoges is terribly wet and cold, not sure spring has sprung there yet, but it's gorgeous here.Ā
Best wishes to all. ššš

I've made salmon patƩ, chicken casserole and lemon tart for tomorrow's lunch when friends are coming and beef casserole for tonight, just need to add dumplings.
I am a little nauseous this morning, it must be the Thyrogen. Today I have my second one. And guess what, we booked a small holiday for us in Lisbon in 2 weeks' time š¤©. It will be great to get out of this rut.
What a disappointment for your daughter @floralies, hope she is ok.
It is lovely to see signs of life @Hostafan1. Every little seedling or bud is a leap into hope. The great tits in my garden are singing their heart out, in the rain.Ā
Gardening in small doses seems to be the answer for me too @didyw, hope all your work re funding pays off, oops sorry, terrible pun.Ā
Thank you @Pat E for the puzzles link.
Hope too that the weather in the mountains improves @D0rdogne_Damsel
Time to eat something to settle my stomach and watch the sunrise somewhere.
Stay safe.
