I did try to put lir first:o.

The weather here is really strange. It snowed at the weekend, then thawed and has been frozen solid since. So you have these oddly shaped and very lethal ice patches everywhere. For most of the pavement you can walk around safely, then you have to negotiate a 3 metre patch of ice with no other route. Not at all like the normal English weather of dump snow, have a moan about it in the papers, thaw.

Gen, as you are around, have you seen the breaking news that 'Arry has been found not guilty?

I saw my neighbours out and about and asked if they were OK, they reminded me that they were only in their early 60s.

I don't think of my next door neighbours as elderly, I suppose they are in their early 60s too. It's strange how people's perceived ages can really vary with age.

My neighbours are so busy off doing stuff like fell walking and mountaineering they are far more likely to have to come to our aid at some point:o. Really nice people too. Fantastic neighbours to have, couldn't wish for better.

Our next door neighbour is 94, but she gets a daily visit from the nurse, no need to check

I'm the elderly neighbour, but next door are both ill and have the NHS and their elderly Mum looking after them.

Next door the other way is a horse. It's over 30 and could pop its [STRIKE]clogs[/STRIKE] hoofs any time, says its elderly owner, who's as fit as a flea.

Going a bit further, there's a couple of almost elderly clairvoyants, but they will know if they're going to be ill, I should imagine.

Is it possible to keep an ear though Wheezy? The reason I mentioned it is that my favourite great aunt, who was in her 80s, had a bad fall at home and her daughter found her dead after she couldn't raise the alarm.

I'm not out to alarm or guilt trip you, but if you are in a proximity that you would hear someone knocking for help or the thud of someone falling, it is always worth checking. Obviously not feasible if where you live is detached, but ykwim. Maybe you could even agree a signal that she could knock so you know its not the heating banging or something.

Snow is fun because I get to wear my tartan coat.
