    Oh no, sorry about your course, what a shame. Hope the hairdresser made it through. We had quite a bit of snow yesterday, and more last night, but main roads were cleared this morning, fortunately.

    Enjoy the Pilates ring…..don’t go too mad and wear yourself out though.
    Pleased you managed to stay put and not have to battle the snow. We had it forecast then they changed their minds and changed the forecast to sleet….we just had rain. I was very happy. We actually crossed The Pennines on Saturday with ds to visit a town we haven’t been to for years….there was heavy frost where the sun hadn’t reached but not a sign of snow which surprised me. 
    Hope you’re now sporting a shiny new hairdo 👍

    Hope you managed to get your hair done. I am thinking I might look at doing more Pilates in the new year.

    Yup lots of lurgy. You’d have thought the cold weather would have seen it off.
