2) Hens OK.
3) Went to Sainsbury with smaller son.
4) Met my school friend for a cup of tea.
5) Pancakes!
6) Brother round for board games.
7) It snowed and I lit the stove.
8) In bed with 1 hwb and will watch Holby just now.

The houses on the left have small gardens with wooden fences. Then, looking right, should be a wide main road, 3 lanes wide. (Under all the pump generators). Then there is pavement (see signpost), then several metres of grass with benches. The river should be in front of the houses that you can just see twinkling in the distance.9

The orange cuboids are the generators you can see in then earlier pic, and slightly taller than I am. Flood defences now underwater so another 1.5m of flood water.9 -

Scary stuff Frith ☹️
For yesterday,
Filling the bird feeders up and seeing tiny violets in the grass.
Over the yard and worked the beautiful grey one on the lunge, am trying to build her muscle tone back up after winter break so didn’t do long but she was a good girl for her Mum.
There are two Shetland ponies at the yard and they decided yesterday to demolish the fencing in their field and roam free, put them back in once but no sooner had turned back and they had done it again, love a Shetland, all fluffy manes and attitude.
Hoovered and then washed the wooden floors downstairs so small dog and I retired upstairs whilst it dried, read my book and she dozed.
Lentil and mushroom bake for tea.10 -
Trees, bees, and scraped knees!
Friths Ooooooouch. Jenny sends a new one!
PM2DD Was sat watching the sports of news sky and looking at the Hatters as well. Get inn. Game on #UTM #UTH The Ollie takeover move is on!
Now on with your version of the Life of BoP!Watched the football last eve, with some wobbleade. No flix.Oh, Monday watched another flix on the net. Housesitter. It had Ms Hawn in it. very good.
Now at home, finished up with the mill for now. Just doing bits around the house and only doing pin monies now.
Flipped me pancakes last nite, topped with strawbs, raspberries and oranges! One flip and theys were good. Please note there appears to be some carp abouts the non stick pans. BoP tells yous now, theres be carp. BoP uses stainless steel pans and lards. No Teflon! Got it. Proper pans. And ifs yous put them inn the dishwasher theys be come off clean!
Lunch is the usual of toms, cucumber and onions with ham, cheese, four proper biskets of digestives. Them strawbs, raspberries and orange! Smoked cheese as well.
Oooh luck, I is fotogenic!
That is it fors your version of the Life of BoP
God invented wobbleade to make us happy!10 -
Good afternoon all. That's a lot of water Frith. I hope you're safe and dry. Pleasures for yesterday.....
The HT went to school without moaning. It won't last so I'm enjoying it while I can
Not in work until mid-day so I sat next to the fire and read my book for a bit
Work for the first time in over a week so it was good to see people and have a catch up chat
Pancakes - yum!
Message from best friend to say he was home safe and his house was OK. I'm so happy for him, he does like his own space when he's not at work and it's been hard for him being with people so much these past few months
Not a pleasure - seeing so many houses under water on the news. We need a pipeline to take the water to Australia.

First day at work. It improved as it went on! Busy morning. Busy lunch , then a quieter afternoon. Got a start in prep for tomorrow which always makes a difference.Son took my car to work today as his exhaust has gone so walked there and back. In daylight each way hurrah! So icy first thing. I was like a tightrope walker. Another day of weather! Though there was blue sky in amongst the hail and snow.Alright tips. Into the jar at home. No RTC plants today though did say some ranunculus on way out so may get some tomorrow.DD2 and doggy came to meet me half way.Bought a baguette so I’m making BLT for tea with potato salad ( leftover from work spuds)
Then time for hot shower and Jim jams on!PS Pirate Pete your pancakes look lovely, ours were delicious last night too.9
