That sounds lovely Polly, seeing the snow on the mountains from your window
Monna That's very kind of you, but it's easy for me to find nice things to say about nice people like the ones on here. The little toerag who bullied my DGS unmercifully at primary school, on the other hand.....8 -
It was lovely Ivyleaf. I used to listen to Jonnie Walker on the radio while mopping the kitchen floor before my mum got home. I'd have a little look at the Welsh hills each time I took a break.It's a strong word but I despise school bullies. Few of them ever realise the damage they inflict which can often follow their victims through life. Verbal bullying can stay with many through adulthood and if not dealt with ruins mant peoples futures.There are a number of posts I'd like to reply to but so far I'm still getting those silly spaces. It's not the laptop so it has to be MSE.pollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

Florenceem they are lovely wristwarmers!
We went for a lovely walk today (somewhere new, woohoo!) and I went over on my ankle and it is still really hurting. On a more positive note I managed to get hold of two broccoli plants from someone local. Never grown it before, wish me luck lol!8 -

Morning fencers.
OH FRABJOUS DAY. IT'S HAIR CUT DAY.
Sadly I have to wait until this afternoon, but will be able to set off late morning as it is a 2-bus ride away. I am so excited at the thought of appearing in public without a bag over my head.
The forecast for my patch of the IOW today is 2° and snow showers. I bet they are lying, snow is almost unknown down here on the Continent. However, I may be in the market for some of those wrist warmers Florenceem.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
How many Mondays have come and gone since you said, "I'll start next week.?
Take action Start today"I believe that friends are quiet angels
Who lift us to our feet when our wings
Have trouble remembering how to fly.8 -
Yet another fabulous sunny frosty morning up here. Yesterday we had bright sun and snow at the same time, on and off all day. Great weather

Same here Ming. Really, really cold overnight, there's ice everywhere.8
