Morning peeps. Just had a look out and we have snow.

Looking ok here - no wind, rain or snow! (at moment)
Hope everyone else is ok too. Glasgow looked pretty snowy on the Scottish news rose . That is where DD is at the moment but is coming back by train although Lockerbie can get pretty bad and they have to drive back from there.

I watched Corrie, wingo - was upsetting so tried not to pay much attention. Did some CTWs at same time so I didn't think about it.
Ostriches are pretty scary. They used to have them wandering about at South Lakes Animal Park and they would come right up to you looking for food. Remember the kids getting a bit upset. They are so big and powerful. Wouldn't like to get chased by one!

Hoping your fairy dust works soon FF!

Got to go and feed DD's cat soon so must get organised. See you later.

Morning,well done on the gin win rose. Cocktails sounds lovely but don't touch gin since i overdid it one night many years ago...lol. No snow here yet but they have said we may get some tonight. The temps have really dropped since yesterday and although i have the heating on, there don't seem any warmth in it. Still in my pj's and might stay in them and have a pj day.

Hi everyone, very cold here at the moment, little flurry of snow earlier but it was too wet to stick.

Hope the snow doesnt get too bad for you Rose. We are well stocked up just in case.

Had some lovely hot carrot/sweed & corriander soup for lunch so that has warmed us up a bit.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Good afternoon all :wave:

Hope everyone's ok - especially those with snow - anyone
experienced 'thundersnow' yet? :eek:



We only have a bit of rain going on here - still mild though.

Been out to my favourite garden centre this morning :heartsmil
and treated myself to three lovely fairly large wooden
planter tubs .....



.... to replace my old ones which I've had for many years
and basically have had it! So looking forward to getting my
new ones planted up in the Spring.

tempted to try it! :whistle: Hope you're ok after your fall
yesterday. xx

:j Well done fire**fly! Lovely win! :j :T

Puddy cat is happily sending up the zzzzz's under my duvet
at the mo wingo. :grinheart

I watched Corrie yesterday - I agree - powerful
performance from Kym - in fact the lunchtime news (ITV)
today interviewed a lovely lady from the wonderful 'Stillbirth
and neonatal death' charity Sands :T who have worked closely
with Kym and Simon on the storyline of their miscarriage
tragedy and how the death affects not only both the mother
and father but also the extended family.



As well as Kym, Simon Gregson and his wife Emma have also
suffered heartache from miscarriages and of course the trolls
came scuttling out from under the gutter and targetted his
wife after the programme was aired ....

Quick as a flash Simon hit back and tweeted:

To the £&)(; who tweeted my wife. We've lost 11 baby's 1st
being 21 weeks 4 days. Maybe think or do your research
before tweeting someone

Must say, there are some very cruel/sad people who can't
wait to pounce - so pleased Simon hit back at them. :A

Your lunchtime soup sounds scrumptious :drool: sylv -
just the job in cold weather!

Have a lovely and lucky rest of the day all and take care.
