@Dextrous63 . that is so sweet … if I say so myself that is just such a good likeness of me…with the angelic wings :blush:

What a shame it’s such a long way for me to go … what’s it all about?

Good morning. Slight frost here this morning but not as cold as its been. Catch up day here with things round the house. Gardener coming today to tidy up the garden. Morty I’ve no idea what’s behind it the letter, its addressed to the occupier of the house.

Morning, another frosty night, (photo of car windscreen) but warmer now. No sun and very cloudy. Done my usual, pool, front, and a few bits from Tesco, having another coffee then it’s deep sorting out and filling bags of stuff for the charity shop. Will drop them off tomorrow after the pool and my wave watching.
Have a good day everyone. :slightly_smiling_face:

Good morning. A lot warmer here today with no frost , hairdressers later to get my colour done. Have to take a pair of trousers back and do some food shopping. Rox that’s one thing I didn’t miss when I gave up driving scraping the car in the morning.

Afternoon, What a day it’s been heavy rain since last night. Kept me awake for ages and I had a flooded road to deal with on my way to n from the pool.
Been home all the rest of the day just faffing about doing this n that.
Even the ocean this morning was getting that winter cold dark feeling about it…Yuck.

Good evening. A day of doing nothing really. Went to the shopsforwaed for a card for my nephew who is 21 tomorrow, now a bit of packing to do as we’re off to Rome tomorrow, this is what my nephew wants for his birthday. Looking forward to it as its been a few years since the last time I went there with friends.

I know there’s weather warnings on the way but has everyone scarpered?

Hi Morty, I’m still here. Jess is away for a wee break and I think Dex said something about heading off as well. Our storm warning is for starting Saturday, I hope it’s not too bad I hate these strong winds, I can hardly stand upright in them.

Hi Rox. I went to Berlin for a few days and got back Tuesday.
Today’s the first day I got my sorry derriĆØre into motion in terms of shopping and housework, which is kinda what I’ve got lined up for tomorrow as well.

Sorry about my complete lack of pleasantry this evening, but …

Scotland’d be scared to death if you went up there.

Anyway, that’s enough cruel cockney humour. Back to wooing you. :heart_eyes::kissing_smiling_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Well I lived in Scotland in the hills on a farm and yes, we had storms. The worst one was in 1963 and we had our own snowplough to clear the road. The last of the snow didn’t clear until April.

Winters do seem to be a lot milder now … snow I like as long as someone else has it dumped on them.
Must have been catastrophic for a farmer though .

Well, I heard Dick Van Dyke sing on Mary Poppins.
Doesn’t that count?

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey

Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you

Or blow me a kiss and that’s lucky too :notes::notes:

Yes, indeed it was. We spent a lot of time digging sheep out of the drifts. And yes, the winters milder now. As I recall the last snow we have had was around 16 years ago…
