    ooooh, snow?!! We just get the rain here.

    Right, off to get wet. Yuck.

    The Christmas grotto in Poole park started yesterday, I took some photos on my phone, but I don't think they are clear enough of the grotto lit up. They also have 2 reindeers and a load of turkeys. It's so nice each year.

    It's pishing it down now..........noooooooooooooooooooo..........:(

    morning all, well done Sally!

    not sure what to do today, was expecting it to be cold but dry but it's wet and miserable here. Need to buy fruit/veg and change my leftover euros though.

    I'm disappointed, no sign of snow here at all!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I put the heating on too, not just because I'm a wuss, but I need to get the washing dry ;)

    I'm just about to do the same. The sun has come out but I can't see it drying much, might start the washing off out there though.
