    wishing everyone a Happy New Year, hope it's a good one.

    I feel like organising a holiday but don't have a clue, when, where or where we can go for £2.50 :)

    Happy New Year Daffs! Is the day slow, or are you and Mr Daffs slow :rotfl:

    Hope there's no horizontal precipitation up there.

    It's us that's a bit slow KC! :rotfl:

    LT - perhaps a holiday at home?? pippi had a great idea recently about having a local adventure - is there somewhere close by you've never been??

    took a little wander down to the beach today, but it was so fridgey cold we came straight back for a cuppa :rotfl: Adventures indeed :rotfl: Just spotted the world's biggest bunny digging up Pippi's flowerbeds :eek: (honestly, I'm surprised she ever manages to grow anything what with the bunnies and the chickens pecking at everything in sight!!)

    Some horizontal weather here today - in fact, I sat in the living room for 2 hours earlier, and in that time the sun was shining, there was a hail storm, it absolutely p*ssed down, it was so windy, then five minutes later there was no wind at all, I couldn't see the sea for the fog, then ten minutes later I could see for miles, then it started snowing, then the sun came out again! :rotfl: :rotfl: Certainly varied! :rotfl:

    Pippi's back tomorrow :j :j :j And I think we'll be leaving Tuesday morning (or Monday morning if she'd rather have her house back sooner for her and the stripey kids!) :D

    It's interesting to hear you talk about the weather Cheery, Pippi seems so used to it she just takes it in her stride!

    Thanks Lotti! More :coffee: today I think :rotfl:

    Well, after this morning's forray to the chickens, we had THIRTY eggs in the fridge :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: So I had pancakes for breakfast :D I just *had* to, you see, really eggy ones, so that used up 3 :D Mr Daffs had 2 scrambled eggs, so that's 5 we managed together :D I'm thinking fried eggs for lunch, and omelette for tea??

    Pippi's back tonight, don't want her thinking we don't like her eggs! :rotfl: :rotfl: (my guess is there'll still be at least 20 in the fridge, so she won't starve! :rotfl:)

    Not much on the cards today - pottering, a walk to the beach (well wrapped up), a nice bath, and some tidying up and perhaps a little baking for when Pippi gets back :j :j :j leaving on Tuesday morning, all a bit sad, feel like I live here now! :D
