I do love your wee hoose Mar. So much easier for you both.Looks so though you may see your beloved white stuff. Can't remember what day it's supposed to be, I've lost track of the days with boxing day and a bank holiday on Monday because Boxing day has fallen on Saturday. It seems many of us may see the white stuff. I'm glad to be hunkered down. It's lovely to look at but not so good battling against it.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Won't get much snow down here I don't think, but you never know. I thought we wouldn't get much wind down here and outside we seem to have a hurricane.
It is a nice wee hoose yess
Cosy.

It's looks as though Bella is heading in now Mar. Lashing rain and the wind getting up. I'm glad your hoose is cosy I was worried when you were unsure about the thin walls and doors but it seems you're fine.I seem to be watching umpteen repeats of Call the Midwife! Yesterdays new Christmas one was good.Most days recently have been school days. Poor dd and her boyfriend have been on the recieving end of the laptop problems and questions . How do I catch up on various programmes with a 13 year old still working well Freeview Sony? I'm beginning to wonder if I'm too old style!pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

hi everyone .
Happy New year .
work has been full on , running lots to hit my target of 200 miles in Dec. so that was good . yesterday I spent most of it in bed as I was shattered lol . maybe 2021 is the year I can chill out a bit , ran this morning very slowly with the dog , through the snow through the woods it was lush . came home and put a veggie stew thing in the slow cooker . fed the birds and now sitting drinking coffee . I'm very lucky .
hope everyone is warm and cosy x

Happy New Year, burtha and to all Fencers, whatever you are doing. All the decorations came down today and everything is tidy and very Zen-ish. Looking forward to longer, brighter days but for now I am enjoying the crisp winter weather.One life - your life - live it!8

hope everyone is warm and cosy xI do hope this year you can chill out a bit. You had a few hectic years so worth slowing down as much as you can. The running has been helpful for both your physical and mental health so just as and when you feel p to it.If you've had the MRI results I hope they were ok.This poor old fence is very quiet lately. it's a pity when it used to be busy and very helpful. Whatever the title the Tougher threads helped many over the years from introducing Old Style ways to advice and support in tough times.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

I miss the chatty garden fence too. My problem is that I spend altogether too much time on my tablet and posting takes me a long time.
Anyway, I hope that you are all coping with this strange way of life.
burtha, I often wonder how you are getting along. You sound so much happier these days. I reckon that MrThreeMinuteWonder did you a big favour when he shuffled off. It was tough for you at first, but look where you are now!!!
I still love you all.I believe that friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet when our wings
Have trouble remembering how to fly.11
